[MegaV0lt]

Only one day left for updating. So i did it manually. Here are the logs:

Could this be an issue with language?

[Angel0ffDeath]

It looks like evrything is correct, just cannot find expiration banner and confirm buttons. Please run code with debug and allways run and send me dumped html (only last page - login and 2fa are ok). Dont forget to edit html before sending - it will contain your real ip addresses and hostnames. It is possible to be language issue, but cannot say it before I analize your html dump

[Angel0ffDeath]

I checked my code, definety language issue. In line 392 we search expiring banner by 'Expire.....'. Can add German support but need to know exact message.

[Angel0ffDeath]

So, send me the dump of the above html (dns records) page(after hiding your ip and hostnames)

[MegaV0lt]

I have to wait for the next 'expiring'... In the meantime i change the cronjob to run with debug

[MegaV0lt]

Now i have the dump. I replaced my hostnames, IP's and hosntumbers with placeholders starting and ending with '_'

dump_dns_records.html

[MegaV0lt]

When i change the line in parse_expiring_hosts()

All my hosts get updated:

OT: When editing the noip-renew.py i saw it is containg ^M lie breaks. I used dos2unix to make it unix style

[Angel0ffDeath]

Ok. Try the code from branch pr1. I changed search method to be locale independent.
I'm testing the code on my NAS. Cannot make direct commits to github. Due to this reason ^M is possible. Within next few days will move the project to raspberry pi.

[MegaV0lt]

Thank you! I loaded the pr1 version. Result will be in three weeks, because the hosts are all updated.

[MegaV0lt]

Now my hosts have to be confirmed. Now it gives this error:

[Angel0ffDeath]

Ok. Thaks for that. Will check it tomorrow. If possible do not update your hosts in the next 2 days - you have 6 more days till expiration
Is it running as root??? Did you installed the script with root user, or with other user??? Please confirm
Also send the log part for this run

[MegaV0lt]

Script doesnt run. Install script as normal user (not root) and try again

[MegaV0lt]

@Angel0ffDeath Any news about the issue? Script starts but can nor get the _token. So it does not login
