Request

Collects all formats (aka movie collections or series) from the specified tenant's content library with optional filtering.

This endpoint retrieves formats (aka movie collections or series) from the content repository based on the provided tenant ID and applies any specified filters. It performs a search against the playout exporter configurations to find matching episodes and verifies their availability in the storage.

The filtering system supports both exact matching and case-insensitive partial matching when the filter value is prefixed with a tilde (~).

Args:

request: the complete request. playout_id: The playout identifier (aka tenant identifier) that determines which content repository to access. filter_provider: Filter for content provider name (e.g., "netflix", "hbo", "disney") filter_movie_or_series: Filter for movie or series name (e.g., "stranger_things") filter_episode: Filter for specific episode name (e.g., "pilot", "finale") filter_target_device: Filter for target playback device (e.g., "tv", "mobile", "web")

Returns:

ResultResponse[List[PlayoutFormatEntry]]: A Result Response contains list of episode entries matching the filter criteria, each containing metadata about the episode such as provider, series name, and target device.

Raises:

HTTPException: When authentication fails.
