XBMC Show Update Not Working

Hi, I've got a pretty fresh install that I'm having some trouble with. I'm using CouchPotato, Sickbeard and SABnzbd to feed media into XBMC 11 (Transparency skin). Both CP and SB are having issues using the HTTP interface, but both applications report successful tests. Specifically in the case of SB, when I am done downloading a show, it will force a full update of the library, which is successful and then reports a single episode and creates the show appropriately in XBMC. On any additional episodes, SB will trigger a show update, which XBMC responds to with an "OK" but it doesn't seem to actually update the show, despite all paths being correct.

Here's a log file detailing this behavior:


The command seems to come in okay, and I don't see anything that looks like an error, but the show does not update in the library and it does not show new episodes until I either force a full update via SB or Scan for New Content in XBMC.

Am I doing something wrong here?

I don't think you are doing anything wrong. More likely the HTTP interface call being used by CP and SB is not causing a full scan of the video library.

Have you posted this in the forums for CP and SB? I think they are in the "Supplementary Tools for XBMC" forum.

I did actually post this originally on the SB forums, but because XBMC is reporting an "OK" to the command I don't see how it could be a problem with the app or the call. It seems suspicious that the reported scan time is 00:00, when the directory is correct and there ARE new files there.

An "OK" returned by XBMC to an httpapi request is just an acknowledgment that it received and processed the request. It doesn't necessariy mean the request issued was the correct one for the intended purpose.

Per the log above, it looks to me as if it is attempting to update the appropriate show, with the appropriate path. If this is not correct, then I need help to understand what it should be doing, but based upon the log above I believe it is correct, it just isn't properly updating.

Based upon your comment you seem to be implying that a different command should be used. Can you please clarify?

It look like the HTTP Interface is calling an builtin function called updatelibrary(). This does not seem to be working correctly.

The last set of Eden releases also has the JSON API. The JSON API has a call " "VideoLibrary.Scan" that works correctly. You can download one of the web interfaces (Addons) that may have a library refresh capability or contact the respective 3rd party vendors.

That's just a log snippett. Hard for anyone to tell what's going on without seeing the complete log, from the launch of your XBMC session to the attempt to update the library for the new content. Please upload the entire debug log to http://www.xbmclogs.com and post the assigned URL link here so others can review the log for possible clues.

No implication whatsoever. Just saying that an "OK" is similar to an "ACK", "Roger", "Hai", "Uh-huh", "I hear ya", etc. Receipt of message does not necessarily mean that the message was correct, that it was understood correctly or that action taken in response to the message (if any) was correct. Again, without the full debug log, hard to draw any conclusions.
