Addition To XBMC Notification & Update Functions

Feature Requests
1

I sometimes use a Program called “MediaElch” to grab the metadata for my movies that i load into XBMC

It has a cool feature where you can get it to send a Alert to XBMC to perform a quick cleanup and then perform a scan for new content.

Here is a screenshot of what i can do below.

Would it be possible to trigger something similar from a button inside NZBDrone so it can clean out duplicate episode entries in XBMC and scan in the latest episode without having to perform each step manually from within XBMC

This may come in handy for when Propers or Repacks are downloaded after an original nuked copy has been scanned into XBMC or when you have for eg: A SDTV version of an Episode and you decide you want to download it again in HDTV Quality.

I mentioned this feature in a post on the XBMC forums and one of the Dev Team mentioned this may have been setup and performed using JSON

Unless I’m missing something, NzbDrone can already do everything you’re asking for (cleaning and updating), just check Clean on Update.

Yup already does that on mine.

Does it popup the “cleaning” progress bar all the time? Thats pretty much the only reason why I haven’t used it, because when I was testing it was doing that. Was more concerned that I was misinterpreting the request, since thats a feature thats been included since release.

Huh!
I cannot believe i missed that option in the settings i must have gone straight past that when originally setting up NZBDrone.

Although it has been a while since i have touched anything in the settings Menu apart from Enabling or Disabling Indexers

Still i feel a bit stupid for missing that in the settings.

Yeah to be honest I leave it turned off and just clean once a week otherwise if I am pulling in a black log of old stuff it cleans after ever episode. I just ticked it in the picture to show you where it was lol.

@mspec Makes sense (pretty much what I do as well), I tend to clean it when there are a bunch of duplicate episodes.

@protocol77 No worries, glad you’re sorted now.
