XBMC Standalone Library Updater for UnRAID

Featured Replies

Maybe just go to the share's permission settings in unRaid and toggle them in order to "reset" them. If the smb paths are set to use passwords, you will have to add those in your sources as such most likely.

I got XBMC up and running using a mysql database on my test unRAID machine.  It all went pretty well, just a few things I changed.

 

The other thing I changed was to have my thumbnails and the like stored on the server so that all XBMC clients use the same ones and see the same thing.

 

Will probably get it set up this way on my main XBMC machine after the weekend is over and I get back from vacation.

 

How did you manage to get all the thumbnails stored on the server, would be interested in doing that myself.

In the advancedsettings.xml file you need to add:

<pathsubstitution>
<substitute>
	<from>special://masterprofile/Thumbnails</from>
	<to>smb://192.168.0.201/Media/Thumbnails/</to>
</substitute>
</pathsubstitution>

replace the IP address with that of your server and the "Media/Thumbnails" part with the location you would like them stored.

 

Overall the experiment with setting it up this way when pretty well.  It is going to take a little work to get my main XBMC box moved over but is just a matter of finding the time more than anything else.  The room mates get grumpy when I make changes and they can't watch their movies and tv shows.

Tried a toggle, that didn't work.

 

What do you mean by password in the sources ?

Are your SMB shares in question set to private?

OK.  It was the fact I had the SMB share marked as private so you need a valid ID and password to access it.  I change it to public and the plugin works fine.

 

I'd rather have the share locked down if possible but I can live with it as it is for now.

I updated from version 0.8.5 to 1.1 and now Salud doesn't index downloaded files into the db.

This was working prior to updating to v1.1.

 

Web interface is up, and Sick Beard is able to communicate with XBMC, the tests are successful.

Same goes for Couchpotato.

 

When I try and start it manually via

/boot/config/plugins/xbmcsalud/xbmc-server.bin --no-test --headless -n -p

I get the following error code.

Unable to find path to XBMC data files!

 

What files is it looking for?

Thanks mate, I'll give that a go.

You may want to delete the plugin's .cfg file and then re-install the plugin. After doing so, configure the plugin in the web GUI.

I am getting this error

07:29:34 T:3033261840 FATAL: Create: Failed to load English language file, from path: special://xbmc/language/
07:29:34 T:3033261840 DEBUG: CAnnouncementManager - Announcement: OnClear from xbmc

 

I am thinking that is what is keeping me from getting this plugin to work on my system.  When I remove the English language file from one of my other XBMC setups  (not an unraid plugin) it wont load XBMC. 

 

As far as UnRaid shows in the /Settings/xbmcsalud it shows that it is running but when I try to send a test comand from Sickbeard it fails.  I have also tried to do updates from this plugin but they are not working either.  This is my first time installing this plugin and I am using the latest version.  Is there any other info you need or any other testing I can do?

If you go to the running processes page, do you see xbmc salud running in there? It may say it is running but isn't. Also, what version of unraid do you have?

This shows up for a few seconds

nobody   24695     1  0 12:30 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/lib/xbmc/xbmc-server.bin --no-test --headless -n -p

then goes away.  My unRaid version is rc15a

Try running the command from a terminal and see what it says.

So I decided to install SimpleFeatures, this uses python version 2.6.6.

But when I install Salud it removes 2.6 and installs 2.7, and this disables SimpleFeatures in turn not being able to access my server GUI.

 

Can anyone assist in resolving this?

Does simplefeatures page show up but just blank with header?  I think your time errors from the simplefeatures thread are related to python.  A blank gui might be related to pcre package.  I think I replaced all python package installs with the version from this plugin.  I edited the plg files of simplefeatures, sickbeard, sabnzb, etc.

Yes that's exactly what happens.

You'll have to look in /boot/packages for the exact file name but to get the gui back just run

 

installpkg /boot/packages/pcre.8.12.txz

 

Just substitute the correct file name for pcre 8.12

Thanks that worked :)

 

Unfortunately I have to reinstall each time, I guess I'll put it in the GO script.

My Kung-Fu is not that good yet.

 

Question, is Salud still supposed to put a copy of sources and advancedsettings in "/usr/local/share/xbmc/portable_data/userdata"?

I created a folder called language under /mnt/cache/.apps/XBMC which is where I told the plugin to keep my data after reboot. In that folder I put the English folder that was missing and it seems to have fixed that problem.  Now I am trying to get sickbeard talking to XBMC, when I send XBMC a test message it fails.  XBMC is showing under process now so it seems to be loading.  If any one has ideas for this it would be a big help.

to edit the plugin just open it in a text editor and change the package file to the one you want. not much different than editing the go file.

 

it is supposed to copy those files to whatever you set as the data directory.

i dont know why youre having that issue with the language file. ive never seen that. might have been a permissions issue and it couldnt create the directory. as long as xbmc is running there shouldnt be an issue as long as the settings all match. try opening your config file and make sure it matches with the webui and sickbeard settings. additionally it can take up to 10 second after starting xbmc for it to be ready to accept requests. so if you start it and send a test request too soon it will fail.
