POST Primary Event to Playlist (Version 2.0)

Add one Primary Event to an existing playlist.

Description, duration, ignore, trigger id, house id, mark in, mark out, created by and metadata can be empty.

Name, is live, is locked and start time cannot be empty. Start time should be in format "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffZ".

Ignore defaults to "false" if empty.

Created by defaults to "inthub" if empty.

House id should be specified to create a primary video event, where the house id is a Viz One video asset. If the house id exists in VizOne, the video element will be correctly created. If the house id does not exist in VizOne, then a placeholder can be created if it was enabled in the Channel Settings, otherwise the primary event will be created, with error.

If mark in and mark out have values when house id is empty, they will be ignored as they can't be set for non-video events.

If any values are set for is manually edited, loaded, available, info integrations hub and error, the payload will be accepted but the values will be ignored as they can't be set.

Attempting to add a primary event that already exists will return a 'HTTP 409 Can't add primary event 'NNN', it already exists‘ .
