= Ruby-mythtv
== Description
A pure Ruby implementation of the MythTV Backend protocol to allow interaction with a MythTV server. Features include browsing and streaming of recordings, and thumbnail generation. See http://github.com/nickludlam/ruby-mythtv for more details.
== Requirements
This gem does not yet support multiple protocol versions, so it requires an up-to-date installation of MythTV v0.21, and specifically implements protocol version 40. For more information on the history of the MythTV protocol, see http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Protocol
== Install
$ gem sources -a http://gems.github.com/ (only required once)
$ gem install nickludlam-ruby-mythtv
== Source
The ruby-mythtv source is available on GitHub at
http://github.com/nickludlam/ruby-mythtv
and can be cloned from
git://github.com/nickludlam/ruby-mythtv.git
== Basic usage
require 'ruby-mythtv'
# Connect to the server
backend = MythTV::Backend.new(:host => 'mythtv.localdomain')
# Get an array of recordings
recordings = backend.query_recordings
# Generate a thumbnail of the most recent recording, at 60 seconds in from the start
preview_thumbnail = @backend.preview_image(recordings[0], :secs_in => 60)
File.open('preview_thumbnail.png', 'w') { |f| f.write(preview_thumbnail) }
