AddRecordingLiveStream Fails With 0.27 Backend. UTC Issue

[billmeek]

The app's requested Start Time (without URL encoding is):

StartTime=2015-04-08T20:33:00.000-05:00

The failure in mythbackend.log is:

AddRecordingLiveStream - for 1091_2015-04-08T20:33:00Z  failed

The file in the BE is named:

1091_20150409013300.mpg

It appears that 0.28-pre gets the same information, however, the
recordedid is used and the chanid/starttime are ignored.

This is a problem in the mythtv-services-api. It is not serializing the data correctly before sending it.

@tafypz where in the api can we override setting the date format for outbound calls. I see there is already a DateTimeSerializer in the code and it annotates the DateTime fields when when the json is read into the objects. That, unfortunately, has the wrong format. Any ideas? Does your generator need to be updated?

@billmeek I think i can relieve this by changing the the calls on v027 to AddLiveStream from AddRecordingLiveStream. I am going to commit this. Can you test it out? I also wonder if this won't resolve Issue #3 since i am passing in a storage group and hostname. If you can test that out on v27 as well and it works, I could make this a permanent change for all backends.

[billmeek]

Yes, I'll test the 0.27 StartTime AddLiveStream workaround.

I can't test for #3 in the 0.27 version (I've only got it running on 1 host.)
But I can test it on 0.28-pre. Maybe just using curl as a proof of concept
would be a good idea. It should fail because the MBE won't find the file
(even though it's in the Storage Group, the Storage Directory doesn't
exist on the MBE, e.g. it's not cross mounted.)

@billmeek I can leave this change in for all backends. I am testing it now on v28 and it works. Maybe I will leave that in like this for now. See how it works.
