XBMC Library Updates

Help & Support

Are calls sent to XBMC logged? If so where?

I am having an issue where XBMC Library updates aren’t being triggered when episodes are downloaded and I’m trying to track it down. Movie updates (via CouchPotato) are still working and manual updates add episodes. Also, when I click on the “test” button in the NzbDrone Connect XBMC config entry I see a little bubble pop up on the TV. Not sure what the issue is at this point.

Yes, they are logged (likely at Trace). Did you scroll down in the modal and enable Library Updates?

Hey Markus, thanks for the reply. Yes, here’s the config:

Name: XBMC
On Grab: Off
On Download: Off
Host: xbmc01 <- dns resolves this properly to 192.168.1.101
Port: 8080
username: xxxx
password: xxxx
Display Time: 5
GUI Notification: Off
Update Library: On
Clean Library: Off
Always Update: On

Hopefully I didn’t misconfigure anything there, if so let me know. The thing that’s baffling me is that the test notification shows up on XBMC so I know it should be working. I’ve looked through nzbdrone.txt but don’t see much to go on. Is there another logging location I should be checking?

Thanks for your help.

Just make sure trace logging is enabled (Settings -> General)

Gotcha, I’ll turn that on and take a peek at the output. Thanks for your help.

Ok, I think I may have tracked it down. It works fine as long as I have the “On Download” Notification set to On. If I set it to Off, I prefer not to see any notices, the library update doesn’t get triggered. Do you think you can try to confirm this behavior?

Thanks again,
tret

In case that wasn’t too clear, here’s what I’ve observed:

– Updates aren’t triggered with:
On Download: Off
Update Library: On
Always Update: On

– Updates work fine with:
On Download: On
Update Library: On
Always Update: On

– Environment Info
NzbDrone Ver. 2.0.0.1236
OS = Ubuntu Server 12.04.4 LTS x64 (Tretflix v1.3)
libmono build 3.2.1

Thanks,
tret

Sorry missed that before, on download has to be on for any on download events to trigger (library update or notifications).

Hey Markus, gotcha. Thanks for the confirmation. Just an FYI, it might help make that need more intuitive if the library update options are hidden or (greyed out) when the “On Download” option is set to off. Just thought I’d mention it.

Thanks for all your help,

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I’m curious as to how Drone updates XBMC video library.

I don’t see these options in “Settings > Connect or Metadata”:

Display Time: 5
GUI Notification: Off
Update Library: On
Clean Library: Off
Always Update: On

NzbDrone Ver. 2.0.0.1269

@SpiderDice scroll down in the modal.

Annnnnd…I’m an idiot. I didn’t see a scroll bar and it ended so perfectly after Password, I didn’t think anything else was under there! Thank you!

Open for ideas on how to make it more visible, its the #1 complaint about it.

I got an idea.

Have all the XBMC settings in a column on the left, and the toggle switches on the right.

Name: | GUI Notification
Host: | - On Grab, Download, Upgrade
Port: | Update Library
Username: | Clean Library
Password: | Always Update

I put “Grab, Download, and Upgrade” under GUI notification because I am assuming that those values won’t work if GUI Notification is switched to Off. Maybe the subsequent switches could be grayed out if GUI is Off.
