XBMC Notification connection problem

Help & Support
1

I’m trying to enable Notify xbmc and update library but when I clik “test” it fails. Is it compatible with XBMC 13.0 (Gotham) ? I know it’s an alpha version but the notification api is compatible with frodo if I’m not mistaken.

Log :
NzbDroneErrorPipeline Request Failed: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found. 9:08 AM

The URL its trying to connect to is the legacy/fallback URL used when XBMC returns a pre-frodo system, or fails to return at all.

I just tested NzbDrone connectivity with the August 3rd release of Gotham and had no issues.

Using my lan ip without “http://” instead of localhost solved it.

Btw what is the difference between “Update library” and “Always update”

@caddish Oops - that should have a description on it.

Update Library is whether or not you want to update the library.
Always Update will update the library even if media is playing (this is to better handle when XBMC slows playback down when updating the library), it was an old issue that may not matter, but might be good for slower devices (raspberry pi, etc).
