Since my movie library does not change too often, I would like to update that every 24 hours. I am also using HDHomeRun DVR to record shows I watch via the Kodi main menu TV Shows, therefore would like for it to update every 15 minutes from 18-23. Do I need two custom path updates OR can I use the Update Video Library every 24 hours and 1 custom path to the recordings 0,15,30,45 18-23 * * * ?

Does this seem like a good strategy? Will it create too much overhead/net traffic/etc?

Thanks for the insight -- BTW, awesome add-on

1) Cleaning - Can't seem to set cron schedule on cleaning via the GUI. Whenever I navigate to the cleaning tab in the settings and select "Cron Expression" for the cleaning frequency the 'Video Cron Expression' and 'Music Cron Expression' fields are displayed but are not enabled (grayed out). I've attempted different library to clean combinations and can't seem to enable it. I've noted this behavior on both an OpenElec (latest build) as well as my Windows (16B4) systems. Manually setting the cron via the settings.xml file works fine. Just would be nice to not have to manually edit the file.

2) Cron Syntax - Using the GUI I attempted to set the Video library to update ever 30 minutes starting at 10 minutes after the hour. For this I chose to use a step value entry (10/30). Entering the expression into the GUI is quick and easy. Unfortunately upon restarting Kodi the add-on fails throwing an exception error. See sample error log and settings xml below. From my tests it looks like the error is only encountered when attempting to use a step value so I'd say it is the '/' that is causing the exception.

NOTE: For newbies like me, a great site for checking the cron syntax is; http://crontab.guru/

NOTE: With your add-on I've been able to set up a window to update my libraries at a desired interval and then outside of the update window set cleaning to the time of my choosing in a configuration that I can easily transfer from system to system (Linux or Windows). Thanks again!

The server isn't used to watch videos, but it has a kodi installation for managing kodi. I want the server to do the automatic Library updates as it is the only one that is on 24/7. Five other kodi boxes are used as needed.

Basically, my question is how to get two libtaries for two profiles automatically updated.

1. It looks like I need to install this auto lib update add-on into both profiles in the server kodi install. Correct?

2. Do I need to have kodi running all the time on the server to get automatic library updates? Previously, I left it off unless I needed to manage kodi.

3. If I need to leave kodi running on the server, which profile do I leave logged in? Will it update the library of both profiles if I leave it logged in as only one? If not, how do I automatically get the second profile updated?

Thanks.

I am running XBMC on an Raspberry Pi to do a presentation of jpg images. The images are stored local on the SD-card in several directories. One directory for each day of the week. This solution works fine. To refresh the presentation I scheduled a nightly reboot and sometimes when needed I perform a manual reboot.
When i saw that there was an Add-on that could do the update automagicaly, i did install and configure this Add-on.
However the add-on does not refresh the jpg presentation. Maybe it is not expected to do so, because on the menu buttons i only see Video and Music.
Would be glad to hear if this Add-on can be used for refreshing the image library. If so, what might i be missing?

Regards, Benny.

I installed the excellent XBMC Library Updater, just what I was looking for and it was working fine. However, I've noticed that it isn't updating the library anymore. I disabled it then enabled it and it came up with a brief error message that tells me to check the log. I'm not sure where the log is saved, would it be in Userdata/addon_data/service.libraryautoupdate? I'm running it on a Pi (5 Ninja Slice).

I've also tried uninstalling and re-installing although it still had my timer settings saved so if it's a config corruption it might still be there...

Any help is appreciated.
Cheers

Thanks for getting back and suggesting the log uploader Haddon. Unfortunately the Kodi Wiki is reporting that the repository is broken:

"This add-on has been marked as broken in the repository: Upload website is no longer functional"

Is there any other way I can locate the log and paste the text here?
