I think you need to run bbslink.mpy with the right Mystic menu command, isnt it GX?

How/where are you loading the script?

The installation text say's set it up as a GY menu command, and it's .py program. Right now I'm getting this error

I think it's a Windows thing. I've tried Python 2.7 and 3.13 and get the same error. I also tried it with a Mystic 1.12 a48 64 bit with the same issue. I appreciate all the help!

It looks like you have a mis-match of files going on somewhere. the bbslink.py script is a python script, but it's calling the mystic_bbs module, which I don't think it should be doing. Maybe rename the bbslink.py file to bbslink.mpy and run it as a GY mystic menu command?

Hi Richard,

I've done that also, same error.

We've recently signed up to BBSlink and were experiencing the same issue
with the dedicated Python script. We had to rename to .mpy just to get it to execute but it threw back the same missing json error. I spoke to Mark
Mearns about this and he said he'd never heard of this error before.

The standard installion for Windows worked for us in the end and it's all working fine now. I would like to have another play around to see if we can
get the Python script working, just to see what the exact issue is.

Keep us posted if you have any joy.

Cheers!

Hi,

Could you tell me your setup? Windows, Mystic, and python version? I
have not got it working yet and just don't understand why not.

Win 10 x64
Mystic 1.12 A48
Python 2.7

We had issues when first installing Python and found that it doesn't like
being installed outside of the main Mystic dir. The fact you are getting the json error suggests Python is executing fine at your end.

After we switched to the BBSlink Win installer, it just needed .NET frame
work 3.5 running on the server side and everything connected up perfectly.

Cheers.

BREAKING NEWS!! I finally got bbslink.py/mpy to work! I threw the code into chatGPT and it had me make a change to the "BBS auth" section and comment out the bbslink.json line. After that it worked!! Thanks to all
