Automate Update Channels on Specific IPTV Device or Group of Devices

[taylormia]

I'm thinking about automating the Update Channels process using a bat file with NScriptHelper.exe -service:method=setting.m3u.update
Is it possible to use this method to Update channels only on a specific device or a group of IPTV devices, instead of all the devices?

From memory you can do something like:

NScriptHelper.exe -service:method=setting.m3u.update&source_id=<id>

Where do I find the Source ID of the IPTV device in the UI ?

You can view this url in your browser:

http://localhost:8866/services/service?m...ormat=json

It's the "id" value

Sub's on a roll.

Quick question:
Can I use multiple source IDs in a single NScriptHelper.exe -service:method=setting.m3u.update command, and if Yes - what's the syntax?  or do I need to use a separate command per source ID ?

[sub]

If you specify a source_id, then it's only going to update that single capture source.

So either run multiple separate commands, or don't specify the source_id

Got it. Thank you !

Using the NScriptHelper.exe -service:method I would like do the following in a batch file:

1. Delete all channels on a device
2. Update all channels on the device
3. Delete a channel group
4. Update the EPG

For item 2. I have the NScriptHelper.exe -service:method=setting.m3u.update command

Can you give me the commands for 1, 3 and 4 ?

Can I get a list of all the commands and options possible with NScriptHelper.exe ?

Thanks.
