Woobi UI

http://localhost:7001
If you set the proxy option you can use the Woobi UI.

  • Live Tv EPG and DVR Manager (ui only)
  • Create Channels
  • View Channels
  • Save / Manage Channels
  • View local library

Configuration

Woobi.init(options, callback)

@param - options - Object
@param - callback - Function
return Promise

option type info
host String Host to use to access Woobi UI and api routes.
proxy false|Object Optional server for api routes and Woobi UI.
adapters Object|Array Adapters can convert your info to the correct format.
loadSaved Boolean Load saved channels on boot that are set to autostart.
channelPort Number If you do not supply a port when streaming a channel, the port will be assigned starting at this number.
mediaPath String Full path to store saved HLS files. Defaults to /module_path/media
media passthrough route String Api route to direct access media.
media passthrough path String Replace the path above with the actual server path.
video passthrough route String Api route to direct access videos.
video passthrough path String Replace the path above with the actual server path.
proxy object
option type info
host String Host to start on. default 0.0.0.0
port Object Port for api routes and Woobi UI access.
keystone Boolean Use keystone if you want to save channel configs from the UI.
nodeadmin Boolean Load the nodeadmin app.
auth Boolean Used with keystone. Set to false at first to create a new user @ http://localhost/keystone

You can add any keystone option to the proxy configuration.
If you want to use channel saving and do not want to use keystone, then attach a mongoose model to Woobi.libs._mongo.ChannelConfig.model

adapters Array of Objects

Adapters are used to convert your information into the required format for the UI.
You can also uses adapters for non-ui use cases.
For local media a media adapter is needed. An example using mysql databases is included.
For live tv a livetv adapter is needed. An example using a mix of mysql databses and tcp connections is supplied.

Adapters are available at Woobi.libs['USER_SUPPLIED_NAME']

option type info
name String Unique name for the adapter. Can be accessed at Woobi.libs[name]
adapter String|Function String for included adapter or a function to provide your own.
config Object
config.user String username
config.pass String password
config.host String host
config.database String database

View /lib/core/adapter.js for all available functions to use.

note - A media and livetv adapters are used by the UI if supplied.
note - config will be passed to custom adapters and can include additional key/value pairs

The media adapter needs the following functions
tvShow( idShow ) tvShows( obj ) tvShowByName( name ) tvShowByIMDB( imdb_id )
tvShowEpisodes( idShow ) recentEpisodes( obj )
movie( idShow ) movies( obj ) movieByName( name )
movieByIMDB( imdb_id ) recentMovies( obj ) grabMedia( obj ) mediaFiles( obj ) mediaFile( obj )

The livetv adapter needs the following functions
connect( obj ) getGuideData( channels, start, end ) getSeriesTimers( obj ) getTimers( obj ) getTVChannels( obj ) getChannelGroups( obj )

Woobi.Channel

Use Woobi.addChannel( name, opts ).then() to add channels instead of directly with new Woobi.Channel( name, opts, callback ).
