Haven't figured out how to set up an auto library Update. I want it to scan for files at 9am every morning.
I have command:
xbmc.updatelibrary(database)
It says next run 15h 33m
What's the right command for it?

The advanced timer in the update addon has a cron timer as well.

Rob,
I found myself here looking for a way to have my library automatically update when a new item is added to the source, and then run the artwork downloader afterwards. As a fallback, a timer to do these two things daily would be okay (on my secondary xbmc, but not my main unit). To do these two tasks, do I set a separate chron for each? Set one at midnight for updatelibrary(video) and one at 1am for runaddon(artwork downloader) ? Also, is this the correct "ID" for artwork downloader?
Now, for my main unit (mine, not the family's system), do you know of an addon that does this? After I backup my new movie, name it (and the folder) properly, then place it into my source, XBMC should notice it after a short time, update the library with it, and then automatically run Artwork Downloader. Does any such beast exist?

Is there a option that call only work on idle system, not when there is any video or audio playing?

Could you give me an example of how this would be used? Seems like you either want it to run on a timer or you don't. What is the use of waiting for stuff not to be playing?

For example a script which shows notification text box, but instead of timer showing it while video is on, I want it to wait till video ends.
