mtehonica: Have you continued to have issues? I have been testing several things to try and replicate the issue, but I havent had any success replicating.

I haven't seen any issues lately. The previous issues haven't happened again so must have been a fluke.
I do have a quick feature request though.... Can you make it so the log files are separated by day? Basically have the script write to xbmcsync.$(date).log or something along those lines. My log gets quite large and sorting through it is difficult.

Actually, I just checked my log again and it appears to have done something funky again.... http://pastebin.com/f6121cb88
It keeps finding the same show as newly watched over and over again. If I am thinking this through correctly, I think what it should do is find the newly watched show, tag a Y for isnew in the db and then move on and shouldn't ever find it new again. But won't mark the db isnew field to N until it updates all machines.

Would it be possible to consider extending this program - a key 'feature' in XBMC is that it will allow the watched flag to be export into .nfo files however ignores them on import.
Having moved my media onto a new server all of the relative paths to the media changed, I am not looking forward to manually updating the watched flag 1000's of times
What I would like to be able to do is scan the .nfo files sitting with the media and update the library. Keeping in tune with your app, I would picture it also syncing the nfo files back when a scan reveals a movie has been watched. There are quite a few people I suspect would be interested in this.

Don't want to get off topic here but search for XBMCSync if you want to be able to migrate your "watched" status for each file.

This is the XBMCSync thread... searching for XBMCSync only returns this thread on the forum.

Hahaha, wow. Sorry about that! I got 2 thread replies at once in my email and thought your original post was in a different thread so I was trying to point you to this one! My bad!

gmk2: I'll consider that at another time, but right now I probably wont have time. If you were to sync your library using xbmcsync, even if you only had 1 box, before moving your media then it should still keep everything in sync after the move (you would need to use the "full" option to sync the new db) since we track only on filename and scraper name, path is not used at all. If you still have an old copy of your database I would be glad to help walk you through that.

Hmm.. you are correct. It shouldnt be doing that. Can I get a copy of the MyVideos34.db? Sorry for the slow replys but I have been out of touch as my wife just had a baby this weekend =)

Yes, I have been considering something along those lines. I was thinking of just keeping the previous week as well to keep from adding a million files

So I have yet to replicate your issue. I am wondering if it has something to do with the fact you are running a full and incrementals. I havent set that up yet but I will. How are you running yours so I can copy that behavior?
Thanks

Sorry I'm so late getting back to this. I've been fighting numerous other computer issues and haven't played around with xbmcsync much until the last couple days. Anyway, 9.0 seems to work fine for me without the path argument and everything has synced fine so far. I'm also nor running any full updates. Just the normal python xbmcsync.py.
One issue that would be nice if it could be resolved. If I'm watching a video on a machine and xbmcsync runs, I get noticeable jerkiness the whole time the script says it's updating the computer I'm watching the video on. Is it possible to set a lower priority on the script or something?

Just an idea, but since the script uses the web api it might work. would it be possible to check if something is playing (via the GetCurrentlyPlaying or getGUIStatus command) and then just skip the sync if you are watching something?
