Script to Run "Update Channels"?

[AWR2375]

I've done my best to search in the forums for a solution here, but no luck so far.  Is there a way to have a script to have NextPVR run a "Update Channels" once a day, or every few hours, etc?

Using a forum search for update m3u this comes up as the first result

In the upcoming v7 the main issue discussed has been addressed, only configured channels will be added.

Probably the easiest why to implement it is scheduling more EPG updates and calling it from the UpdateEPG script. This will of course make Kodi and some other clients work much harder.

Thank you for this.  So I looked into it, found out all about NScripthelper and ran this from the Windows CMD line prompt and getting the below msg:

C:\Program Files\NextPVR> dotnet NScriptHelper.dll -service:method=setting.m3u.update
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<rsp stat="fail">
  <err code="13" msg="Not Allowed" />
</rsp>

I'm assuming its not working by the fail code its showing, or am I doing it incorrectly?

Appreciate the assistance.

Please use the forum search thoroughly before posting. I don't use or typically support NScriptHelper since it is not well documented. Searching yourself you should have found this https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...#pid584347

Thank you for the search pointers, and for the assist in the right direction. 

Made the change  <PinLoginAllowSettings>true</PinLoginAllowSettings> in the config.xml file (located in C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data), stopped/start service, ran again and now getting the below, which I assume it means its running as normal.  Hope this helps anyone else looking for support on this.

C:\Program Files\NextPVR> dotnet NScriptHelper.dll -service:method=setting.m3u.update
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<rsp stat="ok">
</rsp>
