Locast - KeyError during install

MrBultitude · 2021-09-01, 04:48 PM

I'm a brand-new Locast user (donating $5/mo). I downloaded 0.9.4 and ran through the steps, but get the following error when running python locast.py install:

Generating 819 XMLTV file for C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\locast-xmltv.xml
<Response [200]>
Getting list of stations based on DMA...
Loading FCC Stations list...
Generating extras file
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\scripts\locast\lib\libnextpvr.py", line 42, in SessionLogin
salt = parse_qs(parsed.query)['salt'][0]
KeyError: 'salt'

What's my next step?

Thanks!

Locast seems to be connecting fine. Is NextPVR up and running?

If yes I want to sure that NextPVR is working what do you see with

curl -v http://localhost:8866/

That looks like V4. Are you running V5 on port 8867?

Even worse: I was running 3.7.7!
I've uninstalled, installed latest and the scripts work just fine as expected.

thanks!!

Good to hear thanks for letting me know.
