Indeed I do, I run x2 Win10 servers and both use the Python version of the script with ngrok auto update which works well. I tried the Perl version but had trouble getting it going, after instalingl Python and the relevant libraries it worked 1st time (thanks to PhilChill for assisting!). The way my auto update is set up is I run a batch file from the start-up shell which starts the ngrok tunnel and also calls a 2nd batch file to run the auto-update procedure. So, the first batch file points to the directory where ngrok and the update files are stored, it then calls a 2nd batch file, and then runs ngrok to start the tunnel. Meanwhile, as the 2nd batch file runs, it has a short delay to allow the tunnel to open, and then runs the python aut-update script. It seems a bit long winded, but calling ngrok from a batch file then causes the batch file to stop running so it would never run auto-update, hence I needed to call the 2nd batch file to solve this. Tweak the delay to the minimum to allow the tunnel to successfully establish itself else the auto-update routine won't work. Example batch files below: Batch File 1 (Call this one from the startup shell): cd/ CD C:\Google Drive\LMS Stuff\ngrok start /min batchfile2 ngrok start -region=eu home Batch File 2 (this one is called from the one above): cd/ cd C:\Google Drive\LMS Stuff\ngrok timeout 5 updater.py Hope that helps. location 1: lms 8.0 on win 10 brix server, x2 sb radios, x1 touch, x1 controller : location 2: lms 8.0 on win 10 brix server, x2 sb radios, x1 duet receiver, x1 controller : alexa mediaserver smart skill, material android, squeezelitex control ------------------------------------------------------------------------ staresy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=807 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111016 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
