Hi

Maybe a dumb question, but is it possible to make Kodi update the library when it wakes up from suspend?
I know it is possible from startup, but not from suspend state.

Kindly

Yep. Use a suspend hook and a jsonrpc command.

Oki

It`s that something simple to do?
I can`t seem to find it in the forum nor the wiki.

I run Kodibuntu

you add a script that does what you want to /etc/pm/sleep.d/
note that that script has to act on an input parameter.

Code:

case $1 in
     suspend|suspend_hybrid|hibernate)
    # this is executed on suspend
        ;;
     resume|thaw)
    # this is executed on resume
        # your json command goes here
        ;;
esac

safe a file inside /etc/pm/sleep.d/
with this command:

Code:

case $1 in
     suspend|suspend_hybrid|hibernate)
    # this is executed on suspend
        ;;
     resume|thaw)
    # this is executed on resume
        #  curl --data-binary '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "VideoLibrary.Scan", "id": "mybash"}' -H 'content-type: application/json;'   http://localhost:9191/jsonrpc
        ;;
esac

This will update on resume from suspend?
How do I save it, kind of file?

I have tried this, but I can`t seem to understand.

Simply check the startup scan option in video settings. It will fire up the scan on resume.

Thank you very much. That worked nicely :-)

I have used it like that before, but did not know that it work from suspend.
I`m only used it when I run Kodi on Windows, and then it started from scratch every time.

Thanks again!
