NEW: Subscribe to your schedule via the iCal link

Beta Community DVR Beta
#1

We've just added an iCal link to the Calendar view. This will allow you to add it to your calendar app or something like Home Assistant or anything else that can utilize a calendar.

Please note though, that this will only work locally as it is behind the same authentication as everything else in your Channels DVR Server web admin. So you’ll need to use the local url to fetch it, not the remote DVR url.

So you can subscribe to your calendar app on a home computer, or your home automation, or any other tooling you want to use, but this won't work from things like Google Calendar, Yahoo, or Outlook.com.

Ooooh, this is fun!

Heads up: skipped programs are still being exported as events.

I use BusyCal and it’s working nicely there. Thanks for this!

#9

Works great in Fantastical!

Besides giving you access to your recording schedule in the calendar app of your choosing what are some other uses for this feature? Is anyone using this for automations. I’m just curious and would love ideas from others who were asking for this feature.

#11

Would it possible to add an option so that it can be accessed remotely without authentication?

There’s plans to do this eventually, yes.

This is a great feature thanks. Can someone please explain how to import it into Home Assistant?

Many thanks

Hey everyone, with the new API & Feeds feature shipping, the URL for iCal feeds has changed.

If you used the URL that was provided when this first shipped, it will still work for a while as it's being redirected to the new URL endpoint.

If you are using the old URL, you should replace it with the new one soon. You can read about how to generate one with the post linked above, or just go back to your schedule calendar view and copy the new URL that's provided there.

This still does not work for M1 Mac mini.

#17

You need to manually copy the url and add it to your Calendar app. Latest versions of macOS won’t handle the url handler.

#18

The "Copy URL to Clipboard" [DVR :: Calendar view] doesn't work for me. Nothing gets copied. And since it's JS [I guess?], I can't just hover over the icon and copy the target URL.

This was fixed in the latest pre-release:
