hehe, forgot about this. at times I'm irritated and take it out on the users, I did a google search and almost everyone of them points to httpapi way of doing it (which is deprecated) and this thread seems as good as any to say:
Code: curl --data-binary '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "VideoLibrary.ScanForContent", "id": 1 }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://IP:PORT/jsonrpcPort is usually 8080 or 80 depending on your os (former linux, osx etc and latter windows). Another way is Code: xbmc-send localhost -a "XBMC.update library(video)"IIRC.

Yes, I started that thread after the initial reply. I can't stand being told to search after I have already tried, and as you have found...searching on here doesn't get you very far. I know that its irritating to repeat yourself, but if the search was adequate I would take ownership of my failure to properly use it, but it is not.
Anyhow, thanks for the help. I am on the right track now. |

I am even willing to contribute my time in getting osqa or something decided upon by the community, setup.
