NScriptHelper.dll Unable to log in

[Madlec]

Hi, 

I have spotted some scheduled recordings are failing with the message "Recording service not running at recording time" 

Finally I got round to looking into it, and the nrecord log is saying this:

I am running NPVR on a Windows Server Essentials setup, with LightsOut installed, which will hibernate the server if there are no clients connected or no activity. I configured the ParallelProcessing batch file to create a text file while recording is taking place, and LightsOut to monitor the text file. Once the recording is complete, the text file is deleted, and the server is put back into hibernation. 

Now NScriptHelper.dll is having issues, this is not working. Has anyone else seen this issue before with the script helper? I have attached the other relevant logs to the post.

Thanks

That is the message I would expect if you have the wrong PIN in your script.

Thanks for getting back to me Martin. Unless I have missed something, I have never needed the PIN in the script in the past.

echo off
REM Create Running File
cd C:"\Program Files\NextPVR"
set NSHelper=dotnet NScriptHelper.dll -isinuse
:check
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%i in ('%NSHelper% -isinuse') do SET condition=%%i
echo %condition%
IF %condition% =="NOT RECORDING" goto stop
:delay
IF not exist "C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\scripts\recording.txt" echo %condition% >> "C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\scripts\recording.txt"
timeout 60
goto check
top
del "C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\scripts\recording.txt"

If I run dotnet NScriptHelper.dll -isinuse directly at a command prompt, I get the same result.

After hunting around for more info about NScriptHelper.dll, I came across another thread with the correct syntax:

dotnet NScriptHelper.dll -pin:**** -isinuse

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Martin.
