Hi,
I need to add a source folder and also scan it to library programmatically in a script. Is this possible?
So far I tried

Code:

xbmc.executebuiltin('ActivateWindow(mediasource)')

Edit: this old thread http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=98644 says no to the first part.

Thanks

You could manually edit the sources.xml, then scan that folder using the built in function: UpdateLibrary(database,[path]).

Directly editing the sources.xml is very invasive, though. So if someone has something more acceptable go with that.

Thank you very much! I'll try that.

Yup... and just a heads up, doing so will ensure your plugin doesn't make it into the official repo...

Ok thanks, it doesn't work anyway - the sources.xml only gets read again when Kodi is restarted... would there be any way to reload it?
