Thanks Mr.Floppy. Smile

Using LE Milhouse Build #1029, 

I receive this error message since recently, so far it has always worked

FATAL: The task you wish to perform requires that a JSON-RPC server with
       version 6 or above of the Kodi JSON-RPC API is provided.

       The JSON-RPC API version of the connected server is: 0 (0 means unknown)

       Check settings in properties file texturecache.cfg

Are you using the built-in version of texturecache.py or a version you downloaded? Because the built-in version in #1029 is currently modified to work around the broken JSON version in recent test builds.

Anyone else will need to use this patch if they are using one of my test builds as the remote client:

or download http://sprunge.us/WcLJ which already includes the change.

I'm not pushing the "fix" to the repo because it's entirely unnecessary under normal circumstances.

@Milhouse

Thank you with the modified Version http://sprunge.us/WcLJ is working on remote client.

is it a difference to use the build in or a remote?

For most commands there is no difference. There are only a few commands that must be run locally.


RE: [RELEASE] Texture Cache Maintenance utility - firewater - 2017-11-05

Hey there, I'm looking for a way to update my .nfo and poster/fanart with just the trigger of a script. I'm currently running: "texturecache.py qax movies @qaperiod=-1 @qa.nfo.refresh=3", and it refreshes de .nfo, but not the poster. I add my movies manually with .nfo and poster.jpg. So for example I rename poster.jpg > posterold.jpg, and then put a new poster as poster.jpg. After running the command mentioned, I still get the old (now posterold.jpg) associated. Am I missing something?

By the way thank you very much for all the support you gave me last time, early this year. My setup was much more convulted back then, and yet you stayed with me the whole way, really appreciate that now that I'm rereading through our conversation.

To recache existing artwork modified in the last 3 days:
Code:
texturecache.py C movies @cache.refresh=3
You'll need to run the above on all your clients, as it updates the local Textures13.db.


RE: [RELEASE] Texture Cache Maintenance utility - firewater - 2017-11-05

Right! Thanks, I'm sure this will work, but for now I get "A connection cannot be established to the following webserver: localhost: 8080". I just run Kodi on my computer, offline. No sharing anywhere, no server, no nothing. All other mentions of this on the thread seem to overcomplicate this, so what would be the procedure considering my scenario?

Enable the webserver.

Default port should be 8080, leave username and password blank.

If you set a username or password, or non-default port, you'll need to configure the new values in texturecache.cfg.


RE: [RELEASE] Texture Cache Maintenance utility - OldskoolOrion - 2017-11-08

Thank you for this awesome python-script.. I can toss my few loose scriptlets, which only addressed certain issues I did to myself :-)
This script does it all as far as I can tell..

I just got myself an upgrade from my Mede8er media player , which is far too rigid regarding modifications I want.. and Kodi is a much more capable mediacentre - period.. I deserved it :-)
However I assumed me, IT Pro for over 26 years, would definitely not be needing to study any documentation whatsoever.. since.. well.. I'm a cocky ass who knows best.. nah.. because in my spare time I love scripting / scraping / figuring stuff out especially concerning my rather extensive movie and tvshow collection (over 12.000 episodes and 794 movies atm, spread over my 4 nas's) - I can finally have beautiful metadata being displayed for everything.. so yeh.. I was excited.. and in the repo there was script.artwork.downloader.. getting extra imagery.. definitely... so I looked into the default settings and got rid of the silly constraints such as maximum images and a minimum score.. coz.. how many artwork could there be on the default sites.. right ?

tossed that into a cron to run when I was dreaming of finding an ready to go metadatabase with even extras if I wouldn't like the artwork :-)
and to be fair.. I did.. but also completely filled raid arrays and oh so many more 0 byte files of failed downloads LOL..

all in all.. some cli magic quickly got rid of the extrafanart folders everywhere.. but leaves me with some more manual tweaks to not have to recreate the complete libraries Smile aka.. loving your script :-) saves me alot of time and altho I'm 100% dedicated to not really reading up on documentation and stuff.. I am glad I ran into your script when searching how to send library related commands to the kodiplayer :-)

major props !

I edited the poster in use name to poster2.jpg and another poster to poster.jpg. Nothing changed.


[RELEASE] Texture Cache Maintenance utility - Milhouse - 2017-11-08

Add @logfile=tc.log to your command line, and run the command for the movie you've changed, eg "texturecache.py C movies avatar @cache.refresh=3 @logfile=tc.log" then send me the contents of tc.log. It should be retrieving the modification timestamp of poster.jpg and determining it is within the last 3 days.


RE: [RELEASE] Texture Cache Maintenance utility - wallacebw - 2017-11-10

mklocal.py https support?

I may be doing something wrong, but do I need to to anything to support HTTPS URLs in mklocal.py?

Code:

##DEBUG## mediatype [movie]; mediatitle [Young Frankenstein]
##DEBUG##   artwork type [fanart] known by Kodi as [https://assets.fanart.tv/fanart/movies/3034/moviebackground/young-frankenstein-550106c446a7d.jpg]
##DEBUG##     [fanart    ] Lookup non-HTTP file using current URL:  https://assets.fanart.tv/fanart/movies/3034/moviebackground/young-frankenstein-550106c446a7d.jpg [FAIL]
##DEBUG##     [fanart    ] No alt source for non-HTTP files, using: https://assets.fanart.tv/fanart/movies/3034/moviebackground/young-frankenstein-550106c446a7d.jpg
##DEBUG##     [fanart    ] Converting local filename to Kodi path:  https://assets.fanart.tv/fanart/movies/3034/moviebackground/young-frankenstein-550106c446a7d.jpg
##DEBUG##     [fanart    ] No library change required, keeping:     https://assets.fanart.tv/fanart/movies/3034/moviebackground/young-frankenstein-550106c446a7d.jpg


Update:  Maybe a quick change to line 521?  The below is working for me.

Code:

FROM:
     if not source.startswith("http://"):
TO:
     if not source.startswith("http://") and not source.startswith("https://"):
     OR
     if not source.startswith("http"):
 

You could also throw in other prefixes like ftp://, although it don't know of a use case for that at present.

Thanks

@wallacebw thanks I've added the support for https to mklocal.py, you'll need to re-download the mklocal.py script to update (it doesn't auto-update).

Thanks, working. One more thing, is is easy to add support for animatedfanart and animatedposter art types?
