That will trigger the main script, you need to specify which one --script only_hd
yes, the issue is that the conf.json file should allow me to specify which script to run according to the documentation by using "script": "only_hd"
I'm also pretty sure the "custom-commands: []" tag doesn't work as I've been using that after making this issue and the commands don't seem to be running.
Never mind the documentation lists "custom-commands" but the tag is actually called "custom_commands"
