icky Wrote:yeah, i suggested it with the intention that everyone would be using the default of c:\dropboxThe problem is that the XBMC database stores info for every media file that XBMC uses, not just the ones used for this program.
obviously this doesnt work for mac or linux, but for a windows build could it work
It's not a realistic to share XBMC's database between users... too many user-specific things happen in there.

thats cool,
my plan was that everyone that wanted to use it, fresh installed xbmc inported the library and then imported all their individual movies store locally.... but if its not viable then guess it sback to the drawing board
Trying to Store Stub Files on Secondary Drive - pkscuot - 2011-04-21 00:35
I have two drives in the HTPC. C: is primarily for programs, system stuff, and the user directories. D: is where all my media is. I created a new folder on D: for the MyLibrary files and created the three sub directories. I setup the Config.xml with the appropriate paths (and checked them three times). Every time I run the x86 batch file I get an error that Java couldn't create the directories.
pastebin log
If I change the config.xml to point to a directory on C: everything works fine. I'm using XBMC-SAGETV with folders on D: with no problem, and all my other XBMC stuff works there fine.
Thoughts?
P.S. don't worry about all the other weird series stuff. I was trying to use the Daily Show plugin (since the Hulu one still isn't working again even with the new librtmp), but it doesn't use standard naming conventions.
I also tested this with the Hulu plugin, and I do get all the right stub files and stuff added to the library, you just can't actually play them...

Some of my videos are showing as mpg and not strm, is this a normal stage of the process or did I mess something up during the setup?

Every time I run the x86 batch file I get an error that Java couldn't create the directories.That seems strange that it works on the C: drive. Are there any permissions different between the two drives? The files in the dropbox don't take up much room, so you could always keep them on the C: for now.

It may be a bug with the special/season.0 archiving. Have you tested using the Hulu one that actually archives the files correctly?
ThermoDust Wrote:Some of my videos are showing as mpg and not strm, is this a normal stage of the process or did I mess something up during the setup?Yes this is normal. Files are only changed to .strms when they are successfully scanned to XBMC's library.

Spent the last few hours trying unsuccessfully to get this to work. Everything seems okay till it scans the subdirectories; any idea what I may be doing wrong?

Invincer Wrote:http://pastebin.com/bjMUdEyKLooks like a JSON-RPC problem. are you using XBMC 10.1 or a nightly build?

A nightly build (was from the 17th of April). I saw you had said it should work with the nightlies, is it possible it doesn't with some? What is the most recent nightly it definitely should work with? i tried using Raw and Curl, by name and by the IP; same results of not working though. Tried moving my folders to C also, like someone mentioned helping previously, still same results.
- bradvido88 - 2011-04-22 22:09
It's only been tested with 10.1
The JSON-RPC interface has changed a bit in the nightlies, so they won't wont. Havent had time to look into it.
- Invincer - 2011-04-22 22:49
Can anyone post the latest nightly (if any) they have the script working on? I want to know how far back i would have to go... Thanks!
