As for the other issue (around running without the full flag) I am not certain how that would happen. I'll have to do some testing. It updates each frontend independent of all others, so one failing shouldnt cause an issue. I did catch a flaw in my logic that was causing it not to update the machine it failed on until something else needed to be updated. I put in a quick hack but I'll do a more correct fix on it as well. I may add a debug command so we can see more about the issue you are having.

Updated. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for all the fast updates!

The silent argument is still outputting to /root/xbmcsync.log for me running 0.7.2.

Thank you for all your testing

Just uploaded 0.7.3 ... I somehow defined the log file twice and only fixed it once.. cleaned that up to only be defined once.. correctly =)

Yeah, I took a quick look at the code and saw that it was defined correctly at the top so I figured it had to be something like that but didn't want to search through the whole thing Smile Updating now!

Using 0.7.1, I tried marking a couple videos as wathced on HTPC1 and ran the script while HTPC2 was sleeping. I then woke up HTPC2 and ran the script again, and the videos were correctly updated. So, in my case at least, it seems to correctly update things later if a machine is down when script is run and finds new items.

Thanks again for all your time and effort on this tim-!!

EDIT: Since I'm new to Linux, I'm not sure where it's best to put stuff like this. Where do you guys put the script?

Any chance of getting access to this. I've got a XBMC Linux box and a couple of xboxs and a pretty big library

I put it all in my home directory in a Scripts folder (/home/mtehonica/Scripts) although it doesn't really matter where you put it.

Rockdawg: I keep mine in /home/tim/xbmcsync/ but as long as the folder is writable by the user running it its all good.

Sure thing, PM sent

I'm trying to put this script in crontab, but I'm doing something wrong. Here's what I'm getting:

First I tried:

Code:
kevin@XBMCLive:~$ sudo crontab -e
sudo: crontab: command not found

So then I tried:

Code:
kevin@XBMCLive:~$ sudo apt-get install cron
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package cron

Anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

- tim- - 2010-01-11

I think its sudo apt-get install crontab

- RockDawg - 2010-01-11

I just tried that and I get the same response as above. I read something that said to use apt-get update.

Code:
kevin@XBMCLive:~$ sudo apt-get update
Ign cdrom://[Ubuntu GNU/Linux 9.10 _Karmic_ - Build i386 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 200                         91124-11:58] karmic Release.gpg
Ign cdrom://[Ubuntu GNU/Linux 9.10 _Karmic_ - Build i386 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 200                         91124-11:58] karmic/main Translation-en_US
Ign cdrom://[Ubuntu GNU/Linux 9.10 _Karmic_ - Build i386 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 200                         91124-11:58] karmic Release
Reading package lists... Done

I then ran sudo apt-get install again, but got the same response. I saw a post suggest that sources.list might not be right. Mine contains:

Code:
deb cdrom:[Ubuntu GNU/Linux 9.10 _Karmic_ - Build i386 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20091124-11:58]/ karmic main

Is that right, or does something else need to be there?

Thanks. I figured it didn't' matter. Just wondered what you all did.

Not too sure on that one. I would check with someone about the Live install.. I have yet to play with that

Alright, looks like the logging issue is fixed but now I have another issue. As a test, I started from scratch with 0.7.3. Deleted the .db and .log files so it was clean and here is what happens. Anything seen as watched from any machine other than the first is not marked as updated. So right now almost everything is in sync except a few shows from the Mac Mini and 1 on my AppleTV. So my log attached shows that anything from the Mac Mini or AppleTV is not updated. Here is my log: http://www.mediafire.com/?mtymmzwm01z
