Why I'm asking is explained more detailed in this thread I created: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=204405
Basically those of us using a Windows based storage system is currently forced to run complete version of XBMC to update mySQL library, which drags much more system resources than needed and is tricky to maintain. Having a stand-alone library updater similar to WatchDog would benefit everyone using a Windows based system for storage only. Such a tool is already available on various NAS boxes.
I don't have any interest in this myself, but if you find someone who is, it should be perfectly doable to modify watchdog to run standalone. It's "only" a matter of removing the xbmc specific parts. Most of it is already independent of xbmc and cross platform. What existing non-windows tools are you talking about btw? Just curious
There is i.e. one for unRAID: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.p...ic=27545.0
And I believe something similar was made for Synology. When it comes to Windows based stand-alone updaters there is just a bunch of requests for it when searching. Having one would be amazing.
