m3u Update 7.0.5

[Flixifix]

Hi,

I'm running NextPVR 7.0.5.260307 on Windows and I'm trying to automate the M3U channel update via NScriptHelper, but I keep getting "Not Allowed" (error code 13).

What works fine:
- NScriptHelper.exe -status → returns ok
- NScriptHelper.exe -pin:0000 -service:method=system.epg.update → works fine
- Calling setting.m3u.update manually via the web UI works perfectly

What does NOT work:
- dotnet "C:\Program Files\NextPVR\NScriptHelper.dll" -pin:0000 -service:method=setting.m3u.update → Not Allowed (code 13)
- Same result with NScriptHelper.exe
- Same result with curl and Python requests against the API

I found a similar thread from 2020 (V5) where "sub" fixed this with an updated NShared.dll. It seems the same security restriction is back in V7.

Background: My IPTV provider changes stream URLs every 2-3 days. When this happens, recordings fail until I manually click "Update Channels" in Settings → Devices. I want to automate this so recordings don't fail.

Is there a supported way to trigger setting.m3u.update from a script in V7? Or is there another approach to keep the M3U channels updated automatically?

Thanks!
