try deleting "xbmcSaLUd-0.8-i486-1.txz" from the packages folder if you havent already. there was a point  where the webserver was overlooked and left off by default. that has changed but the package might still be named the same. i dont remember if i changed it or left it the same since it was such a minor change. so deleting it will make the plugin re-download it, as im sure you already know. alternately, you can open the package file and see if the settings file is correct. if it is all correct then i dont know why it would be disabled. it is enabled by default in the most recent package and there is no code in the plugin to change it.

OK, good to know.  I will take a look at that when I get home from work.

6. Make sure your advancedsettings.xml file is set to do updates in the background for any of your media libraries:

 

 

I read that you have to preform a clean library before the updates in background will work?  Is this correct?

 

Thanks

i havent had any issues.

What about the thumbs (cover and stuff), where is it placed? on the unraid machine or on every client side?

 

i dont recall at the moment but it is no different than any other instance of xbmc.

 

i'm already running a mysql library on an unraid machine

I have 2 other machines containing xbmc (so 2 clients)

Will this addon auto update the library, as soon as i delete for exaple one movie (from a client machine), or from a fourth windows machine (without xbmc)?

 

its pretty much a daemon version of xbmc so it can run in the background alongside your downloading programs to update the library immediately, since not everyone keeps xbmc running all the time. for the most part, it does whatever regular xbmc does. what youre talking about it cleaning the library, and yes, it could do that if you somehow set something to notify it as soon as a file is deleted. just like regular xbmc.

 

so for now.. it only updates library when you have a finished download with sab?

 

well, no, it will update the library however you set it up to, just like any other xbmc. whether that is on startup, cronjob, after a download, whatever.

 

I see

And this i can setup in the webgui?

 

lol, sorry, i changed my response while you were replying. no, you cant. i hadnt conceived of that initially but now that people are mentioning it i will add it to the to-do list.

 

dont forget to add it please

(things to do list on first post)

I have to say I'm little bit frustrated. Plugin seems to be installed and running. I can see it's status via SimpleFeatures.

 

install directory: /usr/local/lib/xbmc

Data Directory: /mnt/cache/appdata/xbmc

Port: 9091

user: xbmc

pass: xbmc

rus as user: nobody

 

I have MySQL 5.5.30 & XBMC 12.2 & unraid 5.0-rc15a

XBMC Libraries are setup correctly and PC running XBMC can connect to MySQL without problems

advancedsettings.xml & sources.xml are stored in plugin folder /boot/config/plgin/xbmcsalud & copied over to cache drive

 

When I try to setup SickBeard I enter following info:

 

XBMC IP:Port  192.168.1.3:9091 (Tower)

user: xbmc

pass: xbmc

 

testing connection fails all the time

 

There are couple errors that I can see on my monitor attached to Tower:

 

curl: (7) couldn't connect to host

/etc/rc.d/rc.xbmcsalud: line 66 kill : (5426) -no such process

/etc/rc.d/rc.xbmcsalud: line 70 kill : (5426) -no such process

 

Please help

try going to the unraid screen that lists what processes are running. i dont have unraid in front of me so i dont remember where it is exactly. make sure xbmc is running in there. there have been rare instances in testing when the plugin page says it is running and it is not. i think i have that fixed but its still a good idea to check.

 

if it is indeed running, open /boot/config/plugins/xbmcsalud/xbmcsalud.cfg and make sure the settings all match what you put in sickbeard.

 

if it doess all match, try opening guisettings.xml and make sure webserver is set to true. it should be in the portable_data folder in the data directory.

 

if any of that helps let me know what the issue was. if not you can post your xbmc log and i can see what the problem is.

It's in Utils -> Processes, ctrl+f and search for xbmc.

You should see something along the lines of...

nobody   22934     1 20 22:27 ?        00:00:10 /mnt/system/salud/install/xbmc-server.bin --no-test --headless -n -p

 

I also wanted to add that most Plugins in Unraid use python 2.6 and Salud uses 2.7. Each time i update any plugin it removes python 2.7 and installs 2.6, if this happens Salud crashes. Then when I go to update Salud plugin it removes python 2.6 and installs 2.7, this is a lengthy process and not very desirable.

 

Is there a way around this?

I modified my other plugins to use Python 2.7.

Could you provide a couple examples on how and where you modified your plugins?

 

Thanks

crap... now the mysql database does not seem to be updating.  Everything looks to be set up correctly between mysql, xbmcsalud and sickbeard.

 

I can see sickbeard send the update command and I can see in the xbmc.log file that it starts the scan, takes 0 seconds and then finishes.

 

XBMCSalud seems to be running fine but something is not playing nice it appears.

Not in this thread please (or I will break it out)

the python thing really is an inherent issue with the current unraid plugin system. namely that there is no one official or standardized way of doing things. influencers plugins all use the same version of python but someone else may use another version and cause conflicts. xbmc was compiled with 2.7 and wont accept anything else. other plugins will however. i'm not sure what minimum version xbmc requires but i'm sure there is a way to recompile it to accept more versions. i'm just not that experienced in it and i wasnt the one that did the compiling.

 

when discussing the new plugin system i have made proposals that there be a sort or official repository for unraid plugins to avoid these issues. unraid will have one officially verified version of a certain package. for example python. in this example, the official python version for unraid would be 2.7. any plugin that wishes to receive an official "verified working with unraid" status must use the official version of python or whatever other packages. if the version needs to be updated, devs would be notified first to give them time to make the changes before the official migration to the new version. there are a few more details to it though. hopefully tom takes it into consideration.

im almost year use only python 2.7 for all plugins

I had that.  I ended up deleting the db and letting xbmcsalud create a new one from scratch.

Nice idea, and I just tried that... no go.

 

I have no idea what is going on at this point.

 

What files do you all need to get this figured out?

if it take 0 seconds it is not connecting to the database for whatever reason. has it ever connected successfully before on this machine? on another machine? what protocol are you using?

post the xbmc log as well.

Yes, at one point it did work but not during this round of trial and error.  I removed everything and started from scratch and since then nothing seems to want to play nice.  I can connected to the mysql database via sequel pro from my mac.

 

I am running 5rc16c and only installing mysql, shellinabox,and xbmcsalud right now.  The other thing I have notices is that the permissions for my install location might not be correct. I can't seem to edit a file that is in any of those folders.

 

I am going to go through the process of putting this on my test server... again and see what I can get to happen there while you all take a look.  Maybe getting another set of eyes on it will help...

xbmc.txt

OK, so here is an install of mysql and xbmcsalud on my test machine.  This is the xbmc.log file from a CLEAN install.  There is hardly anything on this system.

 

As you can see there are certain things that don't appear correct based on the logfile.

 

The language file missing thing and the fact that it tries to delete the guisettings.xml file and can't.

 

 

I am more than willing to work on this with you all to try and get it figured out. I will just use my test system as it seems to display the same issues/behavior as my main system.

xbmc_2.txt

Another time this happened I deleted the xbmc SQL user and recreated him again with full rights to the DBs.

 

That's wasn't an xbmcsalud problem I was trying to fix but a pivos issue.  That resolved the issue of 0 second db updates.

When I install this my simplefeatures webui goes down, but I can still access sickbeard and such. Any idea why?

prostuff1, i would try dalben's suggestion. i was beginning to think along those same lines when he mentioned it.

 

nerv, what do you mean the webgui goes down? i dont know of it would be a problem with the plugin or not. youre the first person to mention any simplefeatures issues. it might be unrelated.

As soon as I installed the plugin the webui was not longer accessible. I restarted (with the plugin still there), counldn't access the ui still (webpage not found). I removed the plugin and rebooted and was able to access the ui without a problem.

OK, will try that out.  I am going to set this up again on my test machine and then go from there.  See what happens.

nerv, the issue you have is due to Simplefeatures wanted an older version of sql, download my updated plg file in the attached zip file on this previous thread http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=27037.msg238893#msg238893

 

should fix that bug for you, I am curious why you didn't see this before with your other plugins installed.
