I released a Java RPC library for SageTV. Sometimes, I find myself needing remote access to SageTV to do things that are just not convenient to do from the SageUI or the web server interface.
Initially the small project started out as a part of the GUI redesign of the Batch Metadata tools that I released earlier, but I thought it would be useful in other cases. (The GUI redesign is not released yet, but it's getting there)
The API is completely generated from the public SageTV javadoc, so it is complete. Also, the API enables you to write code and then choose to either embed it in SageTV or run it externally.
An example use of this api would include... Write a small Java utility to find all Watched TV Shows and then move them to an archival area. Or, on a nightly basis, find all HD recorded shows and transcode them into SD so that your SD MVP extenders can play them as well.
Both the client and the server are included in the same small jar (~70k), and the client will attempt to automatically find the running RPC server, so it should be zero configuration from the client side.
I hope the API may be of use to people that want to write java applications that interact with SageTV.
