Would love to hear your thoughts. Let me know what you think.

Is there a documented API for pulling information from the server? I'm interested in getting the Session information to use with Home Assistant to show what is being played on my TV. I use a matrix display (Tidbyt) to show what is playing on Jellyfin or Plex, and would be nice to pull this info from Airwave as well.

Just finished adding that in, will include it with the next tagged release along with webhooks and SSE for Tauri usage

Got it working with Home Assistant and my Tidbyt, still working how I want the information displayed but I got the basics with the poster artwork, channel number/name, and media information. TV Season/Episode, title and name, or Movie Title and year

Will be nice to have the playback stopped/start webhook so this can update faster instead of on a schedule (30 seconds at the moment)

That's already looking awesome! Seeing it in use makes building the public API worth it

@motoridersd The new webhooks are all wired up and building now in version 0.15.10, also enriched the session data and public endpoints with device info. So once all the updated clients are available, playback.* events will work like you want.

Perfect!

I did notice that when trying to pull the guide data in the Tidbyt example of the documentation, that endpoint was not available.

So for example, /channels/by-number/12/now gave a 404 not found error, and channel 12 is a valid channel in my setup
