FileBot

I am using a mac to download torrents and Filebot script to rename/move files to a network drive, this is working 100% fine. Is there a way to add something to the script to tell PMS which is running on a windows desktop (pointed to the same network drive) to do a refresh when the file has copied over?

I found this option for filebot: "--def plex=hostname" but not sure how to use it, well any parameter so far has not yielded anything.

thanks

May not work because of network issues or because plex doesn't accept remote api calls or something. Try checking plex esp. logging if you can figure out if it's getting a message from filebot.

All it does is a HTTP GET to tell plex to refresh:

http://$server:$port/library/sections/all/refresh

You can try it in the browser and see if it works.

Hey thanks for the quick reply, okay so i tested your method and it works if i am on the same machine as the PMS server is on. However as you mentioned it, I can not get it to work via my mac over the network.

Okay so i managed to refresh the library from the remote computer via browser, however using the same address in the script does not do anything, is there something i should do different when putting it in the script?

Got it all working after some tinkering
