The latest version which runs on Matrix is here: https://github.com/phunkyfish/xbmc-addon-watchdog

Does your version fix the problem reported here... https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid3000717 and also reported in this thread?

I’m afraid I don’t know @Karellan. I don’t have that issue on LibreElec matrix version but that doesn’t really say much.

My guess is that the same issue still exists as it was only ported to Python 3. Note that the name of the addon is also different on Matrix so it needs to reinstalled. This was due to a naming conflict in the underlying Python library which took the watchdog name.

Ok, thanks. I won't recommend it to the other member as it may still contain the same problem.

Watchdog working on Kodi 19 is the best news I've had this week! Thank you for the great work.

I'm the guy who migrated it from the old version but I'm not really a python guy. I love this add-on though, I've always used it.

Does here the polling work?
on my python3 version it does not poll the NAS:

I have SMB shares on my NAS and it works for me.

[Portisch]

yes, I used the inbuilt path modules, you not.
On your version polling/updating is working, thx!

Any chance to get this in repo for v19?

EDIT:
I get a error on your addon version when install by ZIP, but it's fixed easily:

EDIT2:
I just saw a similar PR does already exist:

With Matrix, on Windows 8.1: I'm running a downloaded zip of above, I have samba shares from a linux box and I am **not** using polling. The watchdog service appears to run fine (no crashes), except it is not doing anything. Not sure where to start for debugging or if I am alone with this issue.

I still have to "scan for new content" on the shares for anything to show up.

I use Library Watchdog with Kodi Matrix, it is working great, thanks for this Add-on.
I added my sources (flash drives) manually - but now I want to remove one of this sources. How can I do this ?

Hi there,

I believe to have hit on quite a weird bug in the current version of this Addon, when using and nfs share for music. At least I have been able to reproduce this bug on multiple machines.
Steps to reproduce on Linux:
1) setup nfs share for music
2) In the librarywatchdog config manually add the nfs share as music source
3) (might not be necessary) reboot

This should lead to kodi continuously crashing and restarting. I'm fine not having the watchdog running on the music share, since it doesn't get updated too often, however, it would be nice to have :-D
I'd be happy about any suggestions or pointers as to why this happens and any fixes.

Oh, and as a side note: in the version currently available in the repos there seems to be one last instance of the encoding being passed in "~/.kodi/addons/service.librarywatchdog/core/utils.py" on line 48.

I just as @phunkyfish I have my stuff on a SMB share on a NAS, so it should work but non the less it doesn't.
I've tried "everything" but can't get it to work and now I'm beginning to think that it doesn't work if you use 'Local information only', can that be it?

Just remove the entry in the settings should do it.

What does local information only mean?

In the Kodi settings for each media where you choose content of the share and how to scrape it. I use 'Local information only' since I scrape and create the nfo and artwork myself in MediaElch.
