I have installed the plug in Auto update and it works very well. However if the system is rebooted, the plug in has to be manually started.

How do I get this plug in to auto start?

Thanks.........

Add it to autoexec.py?

And you didn't put a question mark. So probably people assumed it was a how to / a statement rather than a question.

darkscout,

My fault for not being clear.

I looked at the following:

C:\Users\LR\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\script.libraryautoupdate and there is an autoexec.py.

Since this script is not starting when my system reboots, it must be in the wrong location or something is off. Where is the correct location for this file?

darkscout,

I had already read that wiki page but it references a folder/folder structure that does not exist if you do a new install of 10.0.

I will create a scripts folder and place the autoexec.py in there and see what happens.

Have you configured it? Go to addons, configure, tell it to launch.

It moved to userdata:
-
~/Library/Application Support/XBMC$ find . -name autoexec.py
./addons/script.libraryautoupdate/autoexec.py
./userdata/autoexec.py
-

Or do this externally.

darkscout,

Yes it is configured and it works. It just does not function after a reboot.

Out of frustration, I copy the autoexec.py from ./addon/script.libraryautoupdate and placed it Programs/xbmc/userdata,
restated and it started scanning movies.

Any way, thanks for your patience in helping me solve this issue.
