Code: Select all

import urllib

urllib.urlopen("xbmcaddress/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=ExecBuiltIn&parameter=XBMC.updatelibrary(video)").close()

And then said to call it from the cmd file but I'm not sure how to do that.. I'm totally new to XBMC.. So I put all that code above in a .py file but then what? What command do I put in the "updatelibrary.cmd" file? And where to I put the .py file?

Thanks much!

This is what I use for Plex (Plex is running on my LAN at 192.168.0.20):

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
echo "Updating Plex"
curl --get "http://192.168.0.20:3000/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=ExecBuiltIn&parameter=XBMC.updatelibrary(video)" > /dev/null 2>&1

Copy and paste that in to a text file and save it in your scripts folder, then chmod +x it, and set SAB to use it.

#!/bin/sh
wget "http://xbmc:[email protected]:8081/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=ExecBuiltIn&parameter=XBMC.updatelibrary(video)" >/dev/null 2>&1

SAB 0.4.12 (should work but untested on 0.5.0B1)

        print 'Prowl Failed'
# End Prowl

Save the above code as update.py (or whatever you like) to the scripts directory, and save the SABNZBD image to the root of c: drive. Set your Prowl API key and IP address details of your XBMC's, and set this as your default script or as needed in your categories/RSS filters.

When this script runs, firstly the Prowl notification is sent, then XBMC1 on screen notification is sent - if this is successful, then the library update command is sent. Then, same again for XBMC2.

Because of the need to install Python 2.6, this script therefore can be run from the command line or other files aswell, but only reads variable #3 that is passed to it.
