Add-ons | XBMC Library Auto Update |
This is an XBMC Service that will update your music and video libraries on a timer. You can select an interval to scan specific databases (Audio,Video,Both) or you can set a cron-style timer. If you are playing an audio or video file when the timer starts it can skip the library update process until it is completed so that you're media experience is not interrupted.
Installing
This add-on is installed from the Add-on browser located in Kodi as follows:
- Settings
- Add-ons
- Install from repository
- Program Add-ons
- XBMC Library Auto Update
- Install
Introduction
The XBMC Library Updater will update your music and/or video libraries according to times specified by you.
Thanks to pkscuot for several small tweaks to this addon!
How to use
A note on Timers:
Standard Timer - specify an interval to run the library update process. It will be launched every X hours within the interval unless on of the conditions specified by you as been met (don't run during media playback, etc) in which case it will be run at the next earliest convenience.
Advanced Timer - specify a cron expression to use as an interval for the update process. By default the expression will run at the top of every hour. More advanced expressions can be configured such as:
.--------------- minute (0 - 59) | .------------ hour (0 - 23) | | .--------- day of month (1 - 31) | | | .------ month (1 - 12) or Jan, Feb ... Dec | | | | .---- day of week (0 - 6) or Sun(0 or 7), Mon(1) ... Sat(6) V V V V V * * * * *
0 */5 * * 1-5 - every five hours Monday - Friday 0,15,30,45 0,15-18 * * * - every quarter hour during the midnight hour and 3pm - 6pm
Example:
45 6 * * * RunPlugin(plugin://plugin.video.hulu/?mode='QueueLibrary') 30 6 * * * UpdateLibrary(music) 15 * * * * UpdateLibrary(video)
Read up on cron for more information on how to create these expressions
