how can i auto-update multiple profiles at startup
#1
I can't seem to make this work.


I have set up 2 profiles, one for high definition, and one for standard definition. The reason i did this was to make things look right in library mode, i use the mediastream skin and it would show 2 copies of shows that i had both but it didn't show WHICH one it was. It's much easier to have a login screen with High Definition and Standard Definition


Anyways, i've set "automatically update on startup" for both profiles in the settings but it only seems to work for the HD stuff. Is there ANYTHING i can do?

I'd even be happy with a cronscript or something, being this is on linux.....any help would be greatly appreciated.

it probably only updates the profile you use. to do it through cron you'd have to load the profile, then update the library using loadprofile(name) and updatelibrary(video) builtins which you can submit to xbmc through e.g. the httpapi. tricky part is of course that you have to wait until one scan finished before you load the other...

ok, but i use both profiles... AND it starts updating BEFORE i even select which one to log in.

This is why i think it should be able to do both....the problem is it only auto-updates the High Definition profile.

this was the original profile, if it makes a difference. I don't mind if i need to switch stuff around or set it up differently, i just need to figure out a way to make it auto-update.

Is there ANY way to make xbmc automatically update ALL profiles (or 2 profiles) when it is started up....or via a script..

It seems like something that should work anyways, the setting in the profile is set to update at startup but it just DOESNT work.

yeah, that's the issue. we need to move the update code to login rather than startup. what i told you is a workaround until this is done. please open a trac ticket on the issue so we don't forget about it
