Updating library from command line

Thanks I ended up using the auto-update plugin within XBMC to pull rather than push the update.

thanks for that. i also discovered after an update, you can clean the library with this:

Code:

http://xbmcipaddress:8080/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=ExecBuiltIn&parameter=XBMC.cleanlibrary(video)

hi there id just like to clear a few things up Smile

the "wget -q "http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@XBMCPC:XBMCPORT/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=ExecBuiltIn&parameter=XBMC.updatelibrary(video)" - connects to the xbmc machine and loads, downloads and saves the page which in turn will set the update going

the
del "*.updatelibrary(video) /q" command deletes the saved page that has just taken place

and the "exit" command closes the command session

PS tested and working with eden

thanks Smile
