Locast.org support

Are you using default admin password for NextPVR?  If not there is an edit required.

I'm not using the login default admin/password. What must be changed?

There is a file in lib called Libnextpvr.py I never got around to finishing that part off change, the relevant parts of this line need to be changed.

Code:

def __init__(self, ip = '127.0.0.1', port = '8866', pin = '0000', username = 'admin', password= 'password'):

OK. Made the changes and re-ran locast.py:

C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\scripts\locast>python locast.py
Namespace(base=None, default=None, format='smart', reverse=False, stream=False, tune=None)
None
extralocast v0.62

How we doin'?

[mvallevand]

Did you forget to add install as an option?

Martin

[jcole998]

Heh-heh...yep. BRB...

[jcole998]

OK...Here's the output from this run:

C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\scripts\locast>python locast.py install

BTW, can I delete PreStartup.bat before restarting the service?

You don't need to restart the service, it should work. If it doesn't send the logs.

More progress...

-Started web app
-Settings->Devices: Rescan (Device added)
-Selected locast device and scanned for channels. (Found them all)
-Selected Channels and selected the locast group. No EPG guide data.

At this point, I'm unsure what to do next. Under Advanced Tools are several options but I'm not sure which one to choose: Auto Map, Auto Merge, Merge? I REALLY don't want to clobber anything already in place by picking wrong.

I think I need to add the lineup to the Guide page. Just type in C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\locast-xmltv.xml?

[mvallevand]

It looks like the install failed, perhaps because of earlier failers I'd rather get that working. On the device hit the trashcan at the top left and empty the extra then run

python locast.py install

Make sure to update EPG when prompted.
