Nscripthelper

Thanks, Martin. No error this time but there's still a problem somewhere:

C:\Program Files\NextPVR>dotnet "c:\program files\nextpvr\nscripthelper.dll" -pin:81476301 -server:192.168.1.154:8867 -status
[1] Unable to login

The pin is correct since I use it all the time to schedule new programs with the URL API. Pin 0000 doesn't work either.

The md5 that is calculated seems correct for that pin and the salt although it is upper case if that makes any difference.

I only supply the pin so I'm not sure what I can do about the salt.

I did get the code to work if I disable "allow remote access" and change the pin to 0000. OK for now but I would like a more secure pin code.

Thanks for the help.

My comment was for sub there is nothing you can do other then use python as an alternative like I showed you a year ago.

Here it is 12/24/21 and I am trying to use NScriptHelper.exe.
I have been trying to use it in a Python 3 script with the result = subprocess.run(in_cmd, check=True) and was getting strange result. Specifically when trying to do any functions relative to a specific .ts file (created by NextPVR Version: 5.2.3.211114) it always says it ran successfully (even if I passed a non-existent filename to it).
So decided to run it from the command prompt (Win 10) to see what I get.
Same thing. No results at all comes back to the console. But no error either, so it appears it ran successfully.
I ran it with the -Pending, -IsRecording, -Staus, and IsInUse and it always runs successfully and gives me the expected output on the console.
Could someone try to run it and see if they get similar results. I specifically was trying to get -Title or -SubTitle.
I'd appreciate it. For what it is worth, the version that came with version 4 NextPvr works just fine.

According to the wiki those aren't supported functions in V5.

Well, that is what I get for not checking the Wiki. They worked under 4, so I just assumed they would continue to work with 5.
Thanks for letting me know.
I will find a "work around", I always seem to be able to.
