If you want to make it sort new episodes every hour:

On Linux:
In a console type: crontab -e
On a new line enter "5 * * * * " followed by the command to run the script.
This will run the script 5 mins past every hour.
Eg:
5 * * * * nice perl /home/cliffe/sorttv/sorttv.pl

Every hour this would sort new episodes according to the configuration in /home/cliffe/sorttv/sorttv.conf

Code:

update_xbmc {
$new = '' if !$new;
my $sock = new IO::Socket::INET (
PeerAddr => $xbmcaddress,
PeerPort => $xbmcport,
Proto => 'tcp', 6 );
if($sock) {
print $sock '{"id":1,"method":"VideoLibrary.Scan","params":[],"jsonrpc":"2.0"}';
print $sock '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "VideoLibrary.ScanForContent", "id": 1}\n';
print $sock "{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"method\":\"GUI.ShowNotification\",\"params\":{\"title\":\"New Shows Available to Watch\",\"message\":\"$new\",\"image\":\"\"},\"displaytime\":10000,\"id\":1}\n";
close($sock);
} else {
out("warn", "WARN: Could not connect to xbmc server: $!\n");
}

Which seems to send 3 JSON commands. The third is a notification.

The first two seem to be trying to scan, however the second one is wrong according to the current API. Perhaps due to the fact that all three commands have id of 1 the JSON server is getting confused? The JSON-RPC spec says:

Quote:id - The request id. This can be of any type. It is used to match the response with the request that it is replying to.

- I would have thought the id should be unique if you are sending three commands in rapid succession.

The code doesn't seem to do anything with the response either. Surely it should? How else does it tell that the command was successful. The ionly thing it seems to test is whether a socket is actually established. That doesn't tell you if the command is successful.

i tried this (after changing to port 80 instead of 8080) and it reports back "library updated: 200 OK" and "Send message: 200 OK" on the command line.

but the library isn't updated and no message was displayed unfortunately

i'm using openElec 5.0.0 (64bits)
(installed activeperl and added the dependencies... but cpan doesn't work so i had to use the install (as described here http://openelec.tv/forum/71-pvr-live-tv/40321-xmltv-adding-a-new-grabber).

the names you have to use are different though so i had to translate.
i think i got all the dependencies correctly and don't get any errors besides one about not finding info for WWW and YTS in the tv series database.. which is just the first and second word of a release group jpg file

i installed the watchdog addon in the mean time (which just checks for changes on the hdd and if it finds any sends a update command) but that seems inelegant to me and probably keeps the machine awake when it doesn't need to be.

Paws Stars is what im currently having problems with. The files are listed as S12 but TVDB list them by year. If i rename the file so S2015 they sort correctly.

Archer is a different series to Archer (2009).

Have you tried filebot? I haven't used sort tv, but I know filebot is great.
