Locast workarounds not working for me

[BrettB]

I am confident the extra will work and I have also joined the locast dev group and applied for a unique client id to use the API to reduce future risks of this in the future.

I'm running on Linux and not having extraction issues. Everything thing seems correct, but still failing streams. What's odd to me is there is no captcha showing when I log into locast. Is this something they enforced on the api? Are there some ways fir me to test this at the command line rather than through the NextPVR gui?

Thanks much for all your help and work on this.

Sorry I missed noticing that you updated an old post with logs.

Do you see an m3u8 file when you run

bash -c "/var/opt/nextpvr/scripts/locast/locast.sh 1614807599094"

There's a different style of captcha not buses, fire hydrants or unreadable characters.

OK, I ran the bash command.  Please see the output in attachment.

So it is working what is you change to

sudo -u nextpvr bash -c "/var/opt/nextpvr/scripts/locast/locast.sh 1614807599094"

to confirm python is setup ok.

Permission denied. I think I messed up the permissions on some folders.

This is the video storage: drwxrwsr-x 4 nextpvr video 6 Aug 27 11:59 nextpvr/

Inside nextpvr:
drwxrwsr-x 4 nextpvr video 4 Aug 27 12:09 ./
drwxrwxr-x 7 mike mike 7 Aug 25 21:18 ../
drwxrwsr-x 2 nextpvr video 2 Aug 27 11:39 buffer/
drwxrwsr-x 8 nextpvr video 8 Aug 26 21:59 recordings/

Maybe issues in /var/opt/nextpvr?

Sorry I forgot nextpvr isn't a shell user try

sudo -u nextpvr python3 /var/opt/nextpvr/scripts/locast/locast.py -t 1614807599094

I fixed it! There were some issues in /var/opt/nextpvr where some files were not owned by nextpvr.

Thanks for all your help and patience!

True, locast.ini would need to be writable as nextpvr if it wasn't already.
