Scheduled library update/cleanup

[sirmcftv]

Any alternatives in MrMC for the Kodi addon XBMC Library Auto Update? I manage media files directly on a Linux server (NFS) where I add and also remove files. I can trigger a manual library update once in a while, trouble is that getting to the "Clean library" menu is a hassle. Ideally I'd like something that scans and cleans up the library every "n" hours.

Thank you for your help.

I would appreciate this as well.

Is it appropriate to file a Github issue or those are for bugs only? Thanks.

You could do this from your Linux box with cron and a curl command.

curl --data-binary '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "VideoLibrary.Scan", "id": "mybash"}' -H 'content-type: application/json;' http://192.168.1.100:80/jsonrpc
curl --data-binary '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "VideoLibrary.Clean", "id": "mybash"}' -H 'content-type: application/json;' http://192.168.1.100:80/jsonrpc

Github issues is fair game for bugs or feature requests.

Interesting idea, but it assumes that MrMC is up and running, it allows remote requests, etc. There is an addon already that does this quite well, if it could be made part of MrMC ...

If MrMC is not up and running, even an internal lib auto update would never fire.

Correct. But there's an option to run a library update/cleanup at startup.

any updates on this? Would love an scheduled scanning every X hour at selected path.
