Change UPNP Class for Recorded TV from videoItem to videoItem.videoBroadcast subclass

Component: MythTV - UPnP Version: Unspecified
Severity: medium Keywords: UPnP ContentDirectory videoBroadcast

Description

The Content Directory v4 Service lists the videoBroadcast subclass as "A videoBroadcast instance represents a continuous stream from a video broadcast (for example, a conventional TV channel or a Webcast)" which is the perfect class for recorded TV.

An example of the usefulness of this is Windows Media Player. It categories Music, Videos, Pictures, and Recorded TV in its interface. Currently MythTV lists all shows under Videos because they're generic videoItem classes. However, HDHomeRun devices categorize their channels as videoItem.videoBroadcast which places them under Recorded TV (even though those are live channels).

The change would be to change upnpcdstv.cpp.

upnpcdstv.cpp Line 1059: Old Constructor: CDSObject::CreateVideoItem?

New Constructor: CDSObject::CreateVideoBroadcast?

The function already exists in upnpcdsobjects.cpp and is setup for this purpose.
