My contribution - Two Python Scripts (Peace all)

[NgtHwk@aol.com]

I took some time (and had some help) to write two python scripts which will obtain the Regenerating device auth and retrieve the XML Guide automatically *i have a paid subscription*. I use this in conjunction with a Plex DVR setup to refresh the guide nightly. Hope this is useful.

"get_device_auth.py"

Code: Select all

import requests

# Replace with the IP address of your HDHomeRun device (set a static ip in your router)
device_ip = "XXX.XXX.X.XX"

def get_device_auth():
    # Construct the URL to access discover.json
    url = f"http://{device_ip}/discover.json"
    try:
        # Send the GET request
        response = requests.get(url)
        
        # Check if the request was successful (status code 200)
        if response.status_code == 200:
            data = response.json()  # Parse the JSON response
            
            # Extract the DeviceAuth value from the JSON data
            device_auth = data.get("DeviceAuth")
            
            if device_auth:
                print(f"DeviceAuth: {device_auth}")
            else:
                print("DeviceAuth not found in the response.")
        else:
            print(f"Failed to fetch data: Status code {response.status_code}")
    
    except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
        print(f"Error: {e}")

# Call the function to get and display DeviceAuth
