New verson API logins

[greg in kansas]

I have been using this line for my openhab server to get recording status, after the latest update it stopped working.  Do I need to do something new?

String ISNasRecording "Recording [%s]" {http="<[http://192.168.2.10:8866/services/servic...36;.status.[0].streams)]" }

I have logged in the web app from the openhab server, also cutting the line from this openhab item and pasting into the edge browser returns a good response
.

Thanks

The new security model forces you to login to get a sid for most commands. It has always been mandatory but wasn't enforced. System command are even more complicated.

The browser test works because the browser has already authenticated.

If you can run nscripthelper to check system.status, it'll do the login etc for you.

If you're only using NextPVR from the local network, and don't care about the added security, there is a config.xml setting you can add to get it behaving the way it was.

Would you put a password / login in the URL or some how get a sid for the openhab jar.  I am guessing the sid for the browser does not work for openhab on the same PC.

I think that only gives system status.  Does it enable autologin now too?  It didn't when I first tested.

This sounds like it will work for me.  Local only for me.

Thanks, I will look for it now.

Looks like this is the one

<AutoAuthLocalConnections>false</AutoAuthLocalConnections>

It does the login for you. It'll default to localhost:8866 and pin 0000, but you can specify other if you need to.

From memory you need to add <AutoAuthLocalConnections>true</AutoAuthLocalConnections> in the <WebServer> section.

I don't advise doing this if your server is remotely accessible though.

NScriptHelper.exe -status

or

NScriptHelper.exe -server:192.168.1.24:8866 -pin:1234 -status
