Eyevinn Schedule Service

A modular service to automatically populate schedules.

Installation

The services uses AWS DynamoDB as database store. To run AWS DynamoDB locally you need Docker installed.

npm install
npm run build

Usage (local DynamoDB)

Start a local instance of DynamoDB with this command:

docker run --rm -p 5050:8000 amazon/dynamodb-local

Start the schedule service

DB=dynamodb://localhost:5050/eu-north-1 npm start

Generate channels using the Eyevinn FAST Engine container.

docker run --rm -p 8000:8000 -p 8001:8001 \
  -e FAST_PLUGIN=ScheduleService \
  -e SCHEDULE_SERVICE_API_URL=http://host.docker.internal:8080/api/v1 \
  eyevinntechnology/fast-engine

Then you have the channels available at http://localhost:8000/channels/<channelId>/master.m3u8 or address your browser to the multiview page at http://localhost:8001/
