[HELP] Plex update script ?

[shadytree]

I looked through the forum and see a suggestion, but can't get it to work.
Anyone got a working Plex update script please ?

(same style as sickbeards, push to Plex update)

Would like to assign to certain folders only.

thanks in advance.

Still, struggling to get this sussed, but I found this command on the PLEX forum, but still can't get it to work in the form of a post processing script.

This is the actual command I wish SAB to send to my Plex library is >>>

http://192.168.0.22:32400/library/sections/1/refresh

[sander]

on which OS is SAB running?

[shadytree]

Running in Linux on a QNAP server, so needs to be a Python script.

Does

Code: Select all

lynx --dump http://192.168.0.22:32400/library/sections/1/refresh

start the refresh script?

[shadytree]

No, it gives the following error msg

line 1
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\cocoartf1343\cocoasubrtf160
^
SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character

Oh, then I can't help you. I thought you just had to trigger that script to let Plex update.

Pyhton script? Should work with just a easy bash scritp.. Either way, this is the code you need.
This is easy, this is my "movie" script:
Create a script and save it to your script folder ( sickberd/autoprocess folder etc..)

Code: Select all

#! /bin/bash
### Updates Plex movies ###
wget -q --delete-after "http://PLEX-SERVER-IP:32400/library/sections/6/refresh" > /dev/null

Replace the number "6" with the correct library number


Now just add the script to a category


You might want to make the script(s) executable sudo chmod +x..

[shadytree]

Thanks Nock, just what i was looking for. Will give that a try later.

To confirm, making it executable, is just

Code: Select all

'sudo chmod +x filename.sh' 

?

[nock]

Yes, but you can drop ".sh"

[shadytree]

nock, I've done all above, and copied the new script to the correct folder, but its not visible in the sab config script dropdown?
I thought only python scripts were possible?

[nock]

go to sab config -> folders -> Post-Processing Scripts Folder and make sure the path are correct

Yep path is correct. I can see all my .py scripts for sickbeard and couchpotato etc, but not this new one. very odd

[nock]

Try make a .txt, .py and see if you can see it etc. If you cant see it, i cant help you..
