Hello,

i wrote in the autostart file of Kodi the following code:

python:
import requests

import time

import os

# Datei wird heruntergeladen und kopiert



def LogMessage(msg):

    f = open('/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/logepg.log', 'wt')

    f.write(msg + ' ' + time.strftime('%d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S'))

    f.close()



# Alte guide-zatoo.xml loeschen

try:

    os.remove('/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/guide-zatoo.xml')

except:

    LogMessage('Die Datei konnte nicht geloescht werden!')



# Neue guide-zatoo.xml herunterladen und verschieben

try:

    url = 'http://XXXX:XXXX@XXXXX/guide-zatoo.xml'

    myfile = requests.get(url)

    open('/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/guide-zatoo.xml', 'wb').write(myfile.content)

except:

    LogMessage('Die Datei konnte nicht heruntergeladen werden!')



# pruefen ob heruntergeladene Datei existiert

exists = os.path.isfile('/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/guide-zatoo.xml')

if exists:

    # Wird ausgefuehrt wenn Datei existiert

    LogMessage('Die Datei wurde erfolgreich heruntergeladen!')

else:

    # Wird ausgefuehrt wenn Datei nicht existiert

    LogMessage('Die Datei konnte nicht heruntergeladen werden!')



time.sleep(10) 

he loads a file from my Server and move them to my place.
At the end of the code i try a  "time.sleep(10)" because i need a little bit time before Kodi starts, he must have time to download and move the file.

"time.sleep()" dont works, kodi starts directly, gives a way to wait 10 seconds?

The Problem is the Firetv4k i dont find another way as the autoexec file of Kodi.


Perhaps someone has a idea......

This is really an Android specific syntax, other o/s have various remedies or 3rd party calls for delay. Alas Kodi seems to have lost the "-d x" for delay function.

Moving this thread to Android.

Is the downloaded file for an addon?
If yes you could try disabling / re-enabling it via autoexec.py - hacky but it might work.
