SessionInfo json does not populate players array

Hi,

I'm trying to get the name of the players connected to a given server and I use the SessionInfo HTTP api: <server-ip>:<http-port>/SessionInfo.

That returns a json file, but the players array is always empty, however the playersCount shows the right number of players connected to the server.

E.g.: query: curl curl 95.140.37.50:62297/SessionInfo
Response:

}

I'm using rFactor build 1119.

Can you please populate player array or can you give me a way to get the name of the players connected to a given server?

Thanks

Anybody?

 

I don't think this is much use but I have this snippet from Python code I wrote a couple of years ago using the Valve API

Code:

          _server = valve.source.a2s.ServerQuerier(self.serversDict[serverName])
          try:
            info = _server.info()
            if info['player_count'] != 0:
              self.players = []
              players = _server.players()
              _server.close()
                for p in range(players.values['player_count']):
                    _player = players.values['players'][p].values['name']

and it ran when I just tried it.

Code:

Server: STOCKWOOD RACERS SERVER (Portland Full Course)
has these drivers
Majorbristol
MAGNUM
Kajetan Ernie
Clemente Herbert
Maximino Virgilio

I don't see any AI names the way I used to, though there are lists of empty strings on several servers['', '', '', '', ''], matching the number of players so maybe they are the AI
