Hi guys,
My scenario is as follows:
I have a local server in my network with multiple TV recordings.
A simple inotify script automatically adds files to my library when they are written on the server.
To do that I am simply sending a JSON-RPC request to update that specific path in my library.
This works perfectly.
Now I would also like to automate the removal of files:
When a file is deleted and emits an IN_DELETE inotify event I want to send a VideoLibrary.RemoveEpisode request to Kodi.
Problem is I need the Library.Id for that file, if I am not mistaken.
Is there any way to retrieve the library id by specifying the URL of the file?
Doing a full VideoLibrary.Clean is out of the question because that would simply take too long.
Or is there maybe a way to specify which path to clean?
I am not very experienced with using the Kodi API, so if I missed something obvious, I am sorry.
I searched but couldn't find a solution to my problem.
Thanks a lot,
xiasou
