Hi all,

I have the following running as a cronjob every 6 hours to refresh channels in an IPTV list. This works great for adding channels from the m3u file, but it doesn't edit the existing channels. I was hoping there was a way to have the script amend channel numbers and delete missing channels per the m3u?

/opt/dotnet/dotnet /opt/nextpvr/system/NScriptHelper.dll -service:method=setting.m3u.update


Thanks

Hello,

just a very "raw" approach which I haven´t tested yet, but it seems to work for me:

0. as a prerequisite: Don´t forget to set
Code:
<PinLoginAllowSettings>true</PinLoginAllowSettings>

first in the file /var/opt/nextpvr/config.xml and restart NextPVR afterwards (you only need to do this once)

1. if you would like to update some IPTV information, edit URLs (or whatever you need to edit) in your m3u file (IPTV list) accordingly

2. delete all channels, without this you have "ghost" channels appearing in NextPVR. This also should delete channels from NextPVR which aren´t present in the m3u file anymore.
Code:
sudo /opt/dotnet/dotnet /opt/nextpvr/system/NScriptHelper.dll -pin:1234 -server:127.0.0.1:8866 -service:method=setting.channel.delete


3. re-read m3u file (IPTV list)
Code:
sudo /opt/dotnet/dotnet /opt/nextpvr/system/NScriptHelper.dll -pin:1234 -server:127.0.0.1:8866 -service:method=setting.m3u.update

Changes are reflected immediately, no reload/restart of NextPVR is needed
To find out, I made changes in the web interface while running the following on the command line:
Code:
sudo tcpdump -A port 8866|grep GET
