[RELEASE] Library watchdog

I've got the following program. I installed a fresh install of XBMC with watchdog.
Whatever I do it won't launch automatically or manually.
When I try to open it in the programs menu it just opens the settings menu, where before it just launched.
Anyone knows how I can get it to work?
Here are my logs:

Here are my watchdog settings:


Thanks

I have the lastfm plugin installed, and Watchdog is constantly telling me lastfm:// doesn't exist. Is there no way to exclude certain sources?

I also have a source set up as / (root of my drive), in addition to /media/Movies. Is there no way to exclude the former? I have tried 'exclude from updates' to no avail.

Please look into reducing freezing at shutting down. Too many people are blaming XBMC for this. Cut down the time outs an sleeps that you might use.

I set up a new system with mysql and smb urls. I have some issues so I tried to test the polling on the system by creating a directory "test".
Is this a real error or could I ignore it?

Yeah I just discovered several issues with that particular method. will fix.

It never did that. It has always launched automatically, and according to your log it does do that.

How long is too long? Afaik, from all the logs posted here (which I think is about 2) the problem of crashing on exit has always been because xbmcvfs calls blocking until it times out so I'm not sure what I can do about that. A big modal telling people not to try to exit perhaps.

How did you do that? You added the lastfm url as a music source? Unfortunately it's either getting the media source only automatically or make everyone type them in manually one by one. Why have you added / as a media source when you're not using it as a media source anyway?

Idd, after not touching it for one day, I see know it is working.
I stressed too soon

Thanks!

I am no coder, but will say I really want to use this program and don't due to this reason. Not sure why it won't allow me to shutdown XBMC, but with it installed, XBMC fails to shutdown every time. Remove it, and it works like it should. Not being critical, just letting you know the problem does exist and keeps some of us from using it.

Can you please post a complete debug log then?. The only known issue is when you exit before the script has fully started up. I'm trying to reproduce crashes elsewhere but I just can't make xbmc hang like people say. Clearly you must be doing something I cant think about. I've even tried running it on 10k files so the entire gui lags because it takes so much cpu but it still wont hang no matter what I do.

Ive just updated to your latest build and everything is working great now. Had to switch on your new optional setting because I have a certain TV folder structure, but works flawless. Both movies and tv.
Thanks for the update.
