XBMC Standalone Library Updater for UnRAID

[dalben]

I've installed this and it seems to be running.  SB and CP can test it a test message successfully. But is there any management page ? How can I be sure it's scanning and updating the DB ? I copied an advanced management and  sources.xml to the path stated.  Sources is all SMB.  Do. Need to change the path to the internal mount paths ?

The best way to tell is to run another instance of XBMC on another PC which uses the mySQL database and see if the new items show up. You should not have to change any of the share paths.

[dalben]

I'll to force SB or CP to download something. This solution may not help me too much as many of my media files are not to be found on TVDB so I need to manually run te update for them to be seen.

There is conflicting information in this thread.

In the instructions it states to do the following...

 

5. Copy:

sources.xml
advancedsettings.xml

from another XBMC installation on your network and place them in:

/boot/config/plugins/xbmcsalud

 

However in the posts on several pages it states to copy these into:

/usr/local/share/xbmc/portable_data/userdata/

 

Which is it?

 

Also the line I need to add to advancedsettings.xml is:

<videolibrary>
    <backgroundupdate>true</backgroundupdate>
</videolibrary>

 

Is this correct?

[kricker]

Just put them in

/boot/config/plugins/xbmcsalud

 

The plugin will copy them to the correct place. The older instructions in the other posts are from before the plugin took care of them for you. Always follow instructions in the OP.

 

Yes that looks like the right bit to add to the advancedsettings.xml file.

[exist2resist]

Hmm....

 

I followed the instructions but Salud is not updating my library.

[bobbintb]

try going to the utilities page and see if the process is actually running. also, are your shares on nfs?

[bobbintb]

looks like im getting mostly good feedback. if anyone wants to help me test a newer version before i frontpage it:

it is 0.8.5 test. i am having some really funky issues with the start command. it will say it is running but when i check the running processes it isnt. on my vm it ran just fine but on my physical machine i was getting sudo command not found issues with the same plugin. the vm was on unraid 5rc11 and the pm was on 5rc 13 and had more plugins. i updated to 5rc15 and it started working. i dont know why. it is driving me crazy because the thing intermittently works or doesnt work with various machines. this is why i decided to remove runas, installdir, adn datadir initially. if anyone cares to test it, let me know if it is actually running (not just the plugin page saying it's running), what version of unraid, ans what other plugins.

I am testing it now under unRaid 5RC15 with the SimpleFeatures; active streams, activity monitor, S3 sleep, system info, system stats, and the Unplugged plugins; SAB, SB and CP.

 

I am unable to get it to run. The settings screen shows not installed. When I click install I get the following errors:

 

Ignore the fsck stuff at the top.

is this for 0.8.5 test? try downloading it again. about 10 minutes after i put it up i realized i left some things out.

[kricker]

LOL, just my luck. I probably grabbed it minutes after you posted. I'll get it again.

[kricker]

I just grabbed it again, and I am still seeing the same issue. Yes it is the 8.5 test. I just renamed it to not have to type so much on install

 

I cleaned my .cfg file and tried again. After entering in my values I got the following in the .cfg file:

# xbmcsalud configuration
SERVICE="enable"
INSTALLDIR="xbmc"
DATADIR="/mnt/cache/.xbmc"
RUNAS="nobody"
PLG_STORAGESIZE="xbmc"
PLG_DATACHECK="xbmc"
PORT="9091"
USERNAME=""
PASSWORD=""

The username and password have been put in the PLG_STORAGESIZE and PLG_DATACHECK variables.

 

[bobbintb]

the sleep3 is a typo. it should be sleep 3. i fixed it. redownload and try it again. the other error looks to be because advancedsettings.xml and sources.xml dont exist in /boot/config/plugins/xbmcsalud. did you delete that folder to start from scratch and forget to put them back?

[kricker]

Those files do exist in that folder. I'll grab it again and see what happens now.

My shares are SMB, should they be NFS?

Don't see the process, actually..

[kricker]

It seems that it may be trying to install using my port number as the user?!

Okay. One more time I ditched my .cfg file and re-installed the plugin. It appears to be installing and starting fine now. Sorry for the craziness. I'm not sure why my .cgf file kept screwing up.

 

After the status said started, I checked and indeed I see in in the processes, so it in in fact running.

yea, i dont know why but i find a lot of times that manually messing with the cfg does crazy things like that, mixing up the order and such. it's best to delete it if it does do that.

smb is fine. but after looking into your issue i realized i forgot to add the nfs package which would have caused an issue if you used nfs. i fixed it but that obviously wasnt your issue.

 

if you are using 0.8.4 test on the front page try opening a terminal, navigate to /usr/local/lib/xbmc/ and run this command:

 

sudo /usr/local/lib/xbmc/xbmc-server.bin --headless --no-test --nolirc -p

 

let me know what happens.

/usr/local/lib/xbmc/xbmc-server.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libmy         sqlclient.so.18: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

 

I have an SQL db installed on Unraid, all my XBMC installations use it to fetch Video details and such.

either mysql isnt installed (it should tell you if it isnt) or you need a newer version. someone recently asked if they need mysql installed in unraid if they run mysql on another box:

http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=27545.msg247466#msg247466

i thought it would be ok to just bypass it at first but on thinking about it more i dont think it will start if it isnt installed.

do you have it installed in unraid? if so which version?

[exist2resist]

Server version 5.1.56

[bobbintb]

it needs 5.5.30. it mentions that on the original post but i need to re-word it:

 

You need a MySQL 5.5.30 to use this. If it isn't on your system it can be installed automatically from within this plugin. Of course, you should know that if you are using a MySQL shared library with XBMC you will need MySQL.

 

it implies if you dont have 5.5.30 installed it will install it when in fact it will only prompts you to install if you dont have any mysql plugin at all.

[bobbintb]

i think 0.8.5 is stable enough to front page. if this one is good i'll rebrand it 1.0.

[exist2resist]

Alright I'm about to dump my sql db and update it.

Thanks

 

....

Updated and I got version 0.8.5 of the plugin running now I just need to test the updates see if it pushes them to the sql db.
