Step 7: Schedule EPG Task for Entitlements
Your app may have several triggers for live content entitlement. Some examples of these triggers are sign-in, sign-out, or subscription changes. At these points, you can call EpgSyncTaskScheduler methods to schedule your EPG Sync Task.
If the customer is no longer entitled to any content, such as when a subscription is cancelled, do the following.
- Call
ChannelLineupProvider.add([])+ChannelLineupProvider.commit()andLiveEventProvider.add([])+LiveEventProvider.commit()to clear the customer’s live content from the system. - Call the
cancelScheduledTasks()method to cancel any scheduled EPG sync tasks, since refreshing entitled content is no longer needed.
The following example code demonstrates EpgSyncTaskScheduler usage in your onLogin() and onLogout callbacks.
import { EpgSyncTaskScheduler } from '@amazon-devices/kepler-epg-sync-scheduler';
import {
ChannelLineupProvider,
LiveEventProvider,
} from '@amazon-devices/kepler-epg-provider';
const onLogin = async (): Promise<void> => {
try {
// Schedule EPG Sync task with a given interval
await EpgSyncTaskScheduler.scheduleTask(
'<packageId>.epgSyncTask', // component id of the sync task
60 * 24, // 24 hours in mins
);
console.info('EpgSync - EPG sync tasks are scheduled successfully!')
} catch (error) {
console.error(`EpgSync - Fail to schedule EPG Sync tasks due to ${error}`);
throw error;
}
};
const onLogout = async (): Promise<void> => {
try {
// Clear the customer’s existing channel lineup and live events
await ChannelLineupProvider.add([]);
await ChannelLineupProvider.commit("NO_VERSION");
await LiveEventProvider.add([]);
await LiveEventProvider.commit("NO_VERSION");
// Cancel scheduled tasks
EpgSyncTaskScheduler.cancelScheduledTasks();
console.info('EpgSync - EPG sync tasks are removed successfully!')
} catch (error) {
console.error(`EpgSync - Clear EPG Sync failed due to ${error}`);
throw error;
}
};
When your onLogin() callback runs, you should see a log line similar to the following.
INFO ktf.tm.nests:Successfully scheduled EPG Sync task
