Applescript to handle Database update - efty.edge - 2012-06-08
Hi there.
I'm new on OSX and so i need some help from the community.
On my Mac Mini there is XBMC installed but it only runs when i need it. During the day SABnzbd downloads e. g. a TV-Show and i rename and sort them automatically into shared smb folders. Now i have following request. Is it possible to build a applescript that starts xbmc, updates the music and the video database and shuts xbmc down!?
Thanx in advance for any advice.

You could just set things to update the library when XBMC starts up, then the Apple script would only need to open XBMC, wait a safe period of time, then quit.

@ned Scott
I never thought that it was so easy. I haven't seen this simple solution until your post.
Thank you for your help.
