=head1 NAME
Net::TiVo - Perl interface to TiVo.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Net::TiVo;
my $tivo = Net::TiVo->new(
host => '192.168.1.25',
mac => 'MEDIA_ACCESS_KEY'
);
for ($tivo->folders()) {
print $_->as_string(), "\n";
}
=head1 ABSTRACT
C<Net::TiVo> provides an object-oriented interface to TiVo's REST interface.
This makes it possible to enumerate the folders and shows, and dump their
meta-data.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<Net::TiVo> has a very simple interface, and currently only supports the
enumeration of folder and shows using the REST interface. The main purpose of
this module was to provide access to the TiVo programmatically to automate the
process of downloading shows from a TiVo.
C<Net::TiVo> does not provide support for downloading from TiVo. There are
several options available, including LWP, wget, and curl. Note: I have used
wget version >= 1.10 with success. wget version 1.09 appeared to have an issue
with TiVo's cookie.
=head1 BUGS
One user has reported 500 errors when using the library. He was able to track
the bug down to LWP and Net::SSLeay. Once he switched from using Net::SSLeay
to Crypt::SSLeay the 500 errors went away.
=head1 CACHING
C<Net::TiVo> is slow due to the amount of time it takes to fetch data from
TiVo. This is greatly sped up by using a cache. C<Net::TiVo>'s C<new> method
accepts a reference to a C<Cache> object. Any type of caching object may be
supported as long as it meets the requirements below. There are several cache
implementations available on CPAN, such as C<Cache::Cache>.
The following example creates a cache that lasts for 600 seconds.
use Cache::FileCache;
my $cache = Cache::FileCache->new(
namespace => 'TiVo',
default_expires_in => 600,
}
my $tivo = Net::TiVo->new(
host => '192.168.1.25',
mac => 'MEDIA_ACCESS_KEY',
cache => $cache,
}
C<Net::TiVo> uses I<positive> caching, errors are not stored in the cache.
Any C<Cache> class may be used as long as it supports the following method
signatures.
# Set a cache value
$cache->set($key, $value);
# Get a cache value
$cache->get($key);
=head2 METHODS
=over 4
=item folders()
Returns an array in list context or array reference in scalar context
containing a list of Net::TiVo::Folder objects.
