Thorsten Buss 4d10db4f17 Initial public release
PHP 8.4 library and CLI tools to read, modify, and generate ProPresenter 7
files: songs (.pro), playlists (.proplaylist), bundles (.probundle), themes,
and the global library files (Macros, Labels, Groups, ClearGroups, CCLI,
Messages, Timers, Stage, Workspace, Props, TestPatterns, Calendar,
KeyMappings, CommunicationDevices).

Built on the MIT-licensed ProPresenter7-Proto schema by greyshirtguy
(v7.16.2). Includes 18 CLI parsers, comprehensive API docs in doc/,
binary-format specs, and a synthetic 369-test PHPUnit suite covering
RTF extraction, translation slides, ZIP64 repair, round-trip fidelity,
and end-to-end generation.

Calendar Library API

PHP module for reading and writing the global ProPresenter Calendar file (raw protobuf, no extension) and preserving scheduled macro events.

Quick Reference

use ProPresenter\Parser\CalendarFileReader;

$library = CalendarFileReader::read('/path/to/Calendar');

foreach ($library->getEvents() as $event) {
    $event->getName();
    $event->getStartTimeSeconds();
    $event->getActionData(); // raw bytes
}

File Layout

The Calendar file is the protobuf-serialised CalendarDocument:

Field Type Description
events repeated CalendarDocument.Event Scheduled events
mode uint32 Opaque document mode/source flag

Each event includes UUID, name, start/end timestamps, opaque flags, and two raw bytes fields: action_data (field 8) and macro_data (field 9). Those bytes are intentionally not decoded by this wrapper.


Reading

$library = CalendarFileReader::read('/Users/me/.../Calendar');

Throws InvalidArgumentException for missing files and RuntimeException for empty / unreadable files.


CalendarLibrary

$library->getEvents();              // CalendarEvent[]
$library->count();                  // int
$library->getEventByUuid($uuid);    // ?CalendarEvent (case-insensitive)
$library->getEventByName($name);    // ?CalendarEvent
$library->addEvent($name, $uuid);   // CalendarEvent
$library->removeEvent($uuid);       // bool
$library->getMode();                // int
$library->setMode(1);               // void
$library->getDocument();            // \Rv\Data\CalendarDocument

CalendarEvent

$event->getUuid();
$event->setUuid($uuid);
$event->getName();
$event->setName($name);
$event->getStartTime();
$event->setStartTime($timestamp);
$event->getStartTimeSeconds();
$event->setStartTimeSeconds($seconds);
$event->getEndTime();
$event->getEndTimeSeconds();
$event->getFlags();
$event->setFlags($bytes);
$event->getActionData(); // raw protobuf bytes
$event->setActionData($bytes);
$event->getMacroData();  // raw protobuf bytes
$event->setMacroData($bytes);
$event->getProto();

CLI Tool

php bin/parse-calendar.php /path/to/Calendar

Key Files

File Purpose
src/CalendarLibrary.php Document wrapper with UUID / name indexes
src/CalendarEvent.php Single event wrapper
src/CalendarFileReader.php Reads the Calendar file
src/CalendarFileWriter.php Writes the Calendar file
bin/parse-calendar.php CLI summary tool
proto/calendar.proto Protobuf schema
generated/Rv/Data/CalendarDocument.php Generated document class

Scope Notes

action_data and macro_data are raw protobuf byte strings. They are exposed directly for byte-preserving edits and round trips; semantic decoding belongs in a future schema-specific module.
