Der, forgot about that. I've been meaning to fix it for a while. Next time i post an update i'll be sure to make the path so it's not windows only.

Right now, not much you can do, sorry.

So are you saying this is not going to work on a Mac at all now?

I figured I'd just change paths to standard UNIX format, like "/DISK/Users/blah/"...

But I haven't even got that far yet as I still need to know:

1) how to execute it at all on a Mac
2) how to configure the JSON portion on a Mac

Thanks.

Can this be easily used on a HTPC connected wirelessly and runs Linux?

bradvido88 · 2012-04-27 16:19

The command to use this script on all operating systems is:

Code:

[path/to/java] -jar [path/to/XBMC.MyLibrary.jar] [path/to/basedir/]

Where basedir is the directory that contains Config.xml

An example in linux:

Code:

java -jar /home/jim/XBMCThumbCleaner-v1.2/dist/XBMC.MyLibrary.jar /home/jim/XBMCThumbCleaner-v1.2/

As far as configuring json-rpc. This is done through the XBMC settings and is the same across all XBMC distros.

Can anyone tell me how the hash for multi part stacks is actually calculated? I've tried every possible combination/interpretation of the first post and I don't generate the actual hash that XBMC is coming up with. I can calculate the hash of every single file combination correctly, just not stacks.

For example if I have something like:
"stack://smb://RIPLEY/Video/Movie.CD1.mkv , smb://RIPLEY/Video/Movie.CD2.mkv"
in my c22 field, what is the actual string that XBMC will be hashing?

The first post implies it would be: "stack://Movie.CD1.mkv , Movie.CD2.mkv", but it's not.

Could you just tell me how it's supposed to be formatted? I can't find fileitem.py anywhere, logodownloaderscript is deprecated, and it's replacement doesn't have fileitem.py in it either.

Firstly, this is an EXCELLENT utility. Thank you kindly for the time you spent developing it.

Before: 263.3 MiB /Thumbnails
After: 56.2 MiB /Thumbnails

Two questions for you:

1) I do not have a MyVideos57.db but I do have a MyVideos58.db and MyVideos60.db files. Should run the script twice, for each one independently?

2) Can something be done to keep the script from writing backslashes to its output?
Example:

Code:

-rw-r--r-- 1 facade users   41K May 10 05:03 xbmc.ThumbCleaner.2012-05-10.log

-rw-r--r-- 1 facade users  7.9K May 10 05:03 xbmc.ThumbCleaner.log

drwxr-xr-x 7 facade users 4.0K May 10 05:03 xbmcThumbCleaner-v1.2

drwxr-xr-x 2 facade users  4.0K May 10 05:09 xbmcThumbCleaner-v1.2\logs

-rw-r--r-- 1 facade users  7.9K May 10 05:09 xbmcThumbCleaner-v1.2\logs\facade.ThumbCleaner.2012-05-10.log

-rw-r--r-- 1 facade users  7.9K May 10 05:09 xbmcThumbCleaner-v1.2\facade.ThumbCleaner.log

@john.cord - Why in the world are you running as root?!

Invoke this script like this:

Code:

$ java -jar /path/to/XBMCThumbCleaner-v1.2/dist/XBMC.MyLibrary.jar /path/to/XBMCThumbCleaner-v1.2

@Mordred
Maybe something has changed in the release cycle for Eden (although I doubt it), but IIRC the hash for stack:// was generated exactly as I describe in the first post. The path is ignored and the strFilename is hashed.
You may find this utility useful for testing hash's: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=116861

@graysky
You need only run it against your highest db version (assuming you have never rolled back to an earlier XBMC installation).
