Just a gentle nudge for 1.0.1

Please do! It's great to share our work

Unfortunately I haven't been able to spend any time on the script. I upgraded my htpc to XBMCbuntu Frodo and I've been having stability issues (randomly locks up) so testing is kinda impossible at the moment :/ I'm going to reinstall this weekend and set XBMC up manually, after that I'll be able to ...

Oh shell scripting, how I don't miss you :P Thanks for posting the resolution to the problem, you've also given me an idea for updating shows via my python script. I've got everything mounted via NFS on the htpc, the paths are identical to that on the file server so i should be able to copy what you...

Try changing the id. This is what you have: '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "VideoLibrary.Scan", "params":{"directory":"nfs://192.168.2.104/export/_TV/American Dad/s08"}, "id": "scan"}' This is what sickbeard use...

Updating a specific show isn't a simple one-liner. You have to query XBMC for the shows file location using the Show name. You then take the file location and send an update request with that path. Also, my python script doesn't work with Frodo as the content-type isn't set. Unfortunately you can't ...

Take a look at this function in the sickbeard xbmc notify script. The methods you need are described in there.

There are a few scripts in this thread. I've linked to my post which uses a python script for updating, I haven't switch to Frodo yet so if it doesn't work let me know.

Occasionally the API will die but the listener is still active, the result is the script never exiting. I didn't notice it last week and found about 10 downloads in the post-process queue waiting for the script to exit. I've added some stuff to my python script to handle this, I imagine there's a be...

I was not aware of that, I checked the categories and turns out nothing was selected for Shows.

Apologies for the bad bug report.

I've noticed a bug that's occured a couple times, when a nzb is added with a category that doesn't exist it's sorted as a show, this happens when I use an extension to send a nzb (so there's a bug in the extension, but SAB isn't handling it correctly) Here's an example (sanitized): Completed 2012-04...

If you want to use my python script, stick it in a file and name it xbmcupdate.py, don't forget to install the python library (look at the link in my previous post). Grant it execute permissions (chmod +x xbmcupdate.py) then drop it in the scripts folder. Once you have done that you'll need to go in...

I haven't used it in the past, I was using xbmc-send before to do updates. This isn't exactly a fresh install but I haven't really tweaked it much since installing it. I did sort out the jsonrpc script, here it is: #!/usr/bin/python import jsonrpclib server = jsonrpclib.Server('http://localhost:8080...

I'm running 10.1 Dharma on Ubuntu Lucid (10.04.3).

It looks like the HTTP API is deprecated and doesn't work with the Dharma release (I get a unknown command error now). Looks like it's being replaced with JSON RPC (here's the bit for updating the video library ). I'm going to have to do a little reading to learn how to use it but if anyone is famil...
