# Random Seinfeld

This is based off the [appletv-boilerplate](https://github.com/emadalam/appletv-boilerplate) project which uses [atvjs](https://github.com/emadalam/atvjs).

### Installation

```shell

$ npm install -g gulp

$ npm install

```

### Running

By default the project will request `http://localhost:9001` for both the application payload and the API endpoints.

The application payload can be generated with the `gulp build` command, the resulting `web/public/app.js` file can be placed in the root directory of an Express server. This server is required for metadata and streaming links, the following Express server shows the required methods:

```javascript

const TVDB = require('node-tvdb');

const express = require('express');

const fs = require('fs');

const tvdb = new TVDB('');

const app = express();

const port = 9001;

app.get('/episode', async (req, res) => {

  const seasons = [5, 12, 23, 24, 22, 24, 24, 22, 24];

  const season = Math.floor(Math.random() * seasons.length);

  const episode = {season: Math.floor(Math.random() * seasons.length) + 1, episode:Math.floor(Math.random() * seasons[season]) + 1};

  try {

    const episodeResponse = await tvdb.getEpisodesBySeriesId(79169, {query: {airedSeason: episode.season, airedEpisode: episode.episode}})

    const episodeInfo = {episodeName: episodeResponse[0].episodeName,

      season: episode.season,

      episode: episode.episode,

      description: episodeResponse[0].overview,

      director: episodeResponse[0].directors[0],

      writers: episodeResponse[0].writers,

      guestStars: episodeResponse[0].guestStars,

      firstAired: episodeResponse[0].firstAired,

      siteRating: episodeResponse[0].siteRating,

      contentRating: episodeResponse[0].contentRating.toLowerCase(),

      image: `https://thetvdb.com/banners/${episodeResponse[0].filename}`};

      res.send(episodeInfo);

    } catch(error) {

      res.status(500);

      res.send(error);

    }

});

app.get('/download', async (req, res) => {

  res.send('');

});

app.get('/cleanup', async (req, res) => {

  // any action to perform after the episode has finished

});

app.get('/app.js', (req, res) => {

  res.send(fs.readFileSync('app.js','utf8'));

});

app.listen(port);

```

### Deployment

The hostname needs be changed in the `config.js` and `AppDelegate.swift` files to be externally accessible from the Apple TV, the `app.js` file also needs to be copied to a server with the new hostname.
