Hey, I wanted a way to keep my XBMC library in sync with the downloads from rtorrent/rutorrent in an event based way. So I've come up with a simple script that notifies XBMC on any download completion and also scans in those downloads that go somewhere below the video source directories. Maybe someone finds it useful
in ~/.rtorrent.rc
the script, saved as ~/.xbmcnotify.sh
in ~/.rtorrent.rc
Code:
system.method.set_key = event.download.finished,update_xbmc,"execute=/home/xbmc/xbmcnotify.sh,\"Download finished\",\"$d.get_name=\",\"$d.get_base_path=\""the script, saved as ~/.xbmcnotify.sh
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# Send a GUI notification to XBMC and optionally scan a directory to video library
# Checks that the directory begins with a path from XBMC video sources
user="xbmc"
pass="xbmc"
url="http://localhost:8080/jsonrpc"
sources="/home/xbmc/.xbmc/userdata/sources.xml"
if [ -z "$2" ]; then
echo "Usage: $0 title message [directory]" 1>&2
exit 1

if [ -z "$3" ]; then

if [ ! -f "$sources" ]; then
