I have never tried it with profiles or with suspend so im not sure.. Best just to try it.

I have never tried it with profiles or with suspend so im not sure.. Best just to try it.

Ok will try otherwise it should be possible to let the script login with specific user and Suspend i guess, also using it now in kids profile so they can't poweroff box.

Hi guys,

anybody tried this with frodo?

[N3MIS15]

yep, works same as eden.

[Burke]

N3MIS15 thenks for ultra quick respond,

I must have done something with code - will recheck it.

Combined your script with another script that watches my sabnzbd queue,

over night, when queue is empty it suspends my system.

You really made my life simpler

Thank you

Hi guys, just moved on from a Popcorn Hour to an HTPC. It's running Windows 8 (64 bits) and XBMC 12. I've managed to get most of my stuff up & running. Just need a simple script to make SABNZBd update the XBMC library. Any idea what this should be for Windows? I installed the latest Python (3.3.0).. but kind on stuck of what to do now.

The HTPC is always on, so no need for fancy wake-up stuff.

@ pushnoi

you have the script here, if you want to update library you would need to

Code:

xbmc.VideoLibrary.Scan()

but if you are not at home ground with scripts, there are easier ways to "auto update" library.

Both Sickbeard and Couchpoto can send update command.

Also there are XBMC addons that can do the trick.

Library watchdog

or

XBMC Library Updater Addon


They all work so just chose one that suits your needs the most.

Thanks for your reply Burke, but the two alternatives suggested would mean that my hardrive would either be spinning constantly or taking out of standby every hour or so. The good thing about a postscript in sab would be that it would only update my Library when it's needed: after there has been a download (which are being pushed via DOGnzb).

I'm guessing though that the code you posted is something I would use to make the script? No idea where to start though..

[Burke]

I have something for you. :-)
I will post it tomorrow morning when I get back home.
Script watches sab queue and when it is empty updates xbmc

[pushnoi]

Cool, TIA!

[Burke]

Here it is.

Disclaimer: I am not a coder, so if any one needs help abut this do not know will I be able to help,
It is not tidy as I had no time to clan it properly ... but it works 10+ on my system

This script is stiched from two diferent scripts...

First part (sabnzb)is moded script taken from bobbintb @sabnzbdforums
Second part (xbmc) is modede script taken from N3MIS15

If you want to thank anyone thank them !!!

Thank you guys for letting me use your code

I use this script over night, system is woken up by RTC alarm in BIOS.

1. Script checks SAB queue, when it is empty it moves on.
2. When SAB has finished processing files it moves on
3. Sends update command to XBMC
4. Checks if audio or video player is active
4.a. if yes exits
4.b. if no suspend system

notice: I use photo screen saver so script assumes that if screensaver is active system is idle and suspends system,
that can be changed easily.

PHP Code:

Tnx for your work Burke, but I could not get this to work on my machine. Also - this seems way too elaborate for my needs. I'm guessing you do not want to update when video playing because you do not want any interruptions in your videostream? I don't think I'll notice this on my machine (i3 3225, 8gb, ssd + hdd), so a simple complete update would be enough.

[pushnoi]

Ok, so I couldn't get it to work, decided to do something simpeler. I just want a simple library update to run after downloading something with sab defined as either the 'TV' category or the 'Movies' category. Figured basically the only thing that had to happen was that a basic http command had to be given. So I came up with the following and thought I'd share it with you all:

Code:

REM Simple script to have XBMC update the library (Windows) after downloading with SABNZBd. Make sure you have wget for Windows installed.
REM Only tested on Win8 (64-bits) + XBMC 12.0 Frodo and SABnzbd 0.7.11.
"c:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin\wget" -q -O NUL --header="Content-Type: application/json" --post-data="{\"id\":1,\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"method\":\"VideoLibrary.Scan\"}" http://username:[email protected]:9999/jsonrpc

Save as something like updatevideolibrary.cmd in your sab script folder and assign it to the categories. Seems to work like a charm. So you need wget for Windows, and make sure the path to wget is set correctly and you fill in the username and password + port you defined in XBMC under the webserver service.

[3dfx]

Could this be modified to wake up my HTPC at say 6:00am, wait 1 min, then issue the update command, then put the computer back to sleep? Any ideas?

Why not use, WOL (Wake On Lan)?

[CapnBry]

I'd like to point out that the only reason the script in the OP doesn't work is because it doesn't have the "id" field, which is required. If one just adds , "id": 1 after VideoLibrary.Scan, it works no problem. I'm not sure what I was googing when I ended up here but I'll throw my SAbnzbd post-processing script into the pile:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

pidof xbmc.bin > /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
   wget -q -O- --header='Content-Type: application/json' --post-data='{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "VideoLibrary.Scan", "id": "sabnzbd"}' http://localhost:8000/jsonrpc
else
  echo XBMC not running
fi

exit 0
