[AMC] XBMC 13 Gotham and library rescanning

[Marc]

AMC no longer notifies XBMC 13 Gotham to rescan its library. Perhaps the script needs to be updated for XBMC 13 Gotham.

I don't think that changed. I'd first make sure it's working at all. FileBot is using the TCP interface, so make sure that's enabled and accessible.

Also do you have any logs? Check XBMC docs how to get logs for API calls.

Hm, seems to be working now. I don't know what changed on my end.

It seems I'm still having this problem with XBMC Gotham 13.2. How does FileBot notifiy XBMC, through HTTP GET/POST, through TCP, or other?

Edit: Nevermind, it says TCP via port 9090 in the AMC topic. I had some confusion. I was enabling the XBMC webserver on port 9090 thinking that would allow Filebot to communicate with XBMC, but XBMC uses this port for TCP JSON-RPC requests, so that's obviously a problem.

So now, I have disabled the webserver and enabled Allow programs on this system to control XBMC. However, I am still getting ConnectException: Connection refused: connect when FileBot attempts to notify XBMC. Any ideas?

On a side note, Plex notification is working.

Edit #2: OK seems to be working now. Just needed to restart XBMC for the changes to take effect. Thanks again!

OK, I finally figured it out. Both Allow programs on this system to control XBMC and Allow programs on other systems to control XBMC need to be enabled in order for Filebot to be able to notify XBMC. Also, restarting XBMC is required for changes to these two setting to take effect.

My Filebot and XBMC are on the same system so why does Allow programs on other systems to control XBMC need to be enabled in order for Filebot to communicate with XBMC?

I guess if you do xbmc=hostname then it'll always think it's a remote machine, and only xbmc=localhost will be recognized as "this system" when a connection is established.

[Marc]

I am using xbmc=localhost
