Jellyfin for kodi: Scan on start

[Ejz]

Okay I think I actually managed to code my first phyton script and get it to run on kodi start.. :P


Android\data\org.xbmc.kodi\files\.kodi\addons\service.autoexec\autoexec.py

Code:

import requests

headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
}

params = {
    'api_key': 'JELLY-API-KEY',
}

response = requests.post('http://YOUR-IP:PORT/library/refresh', params=params, headers=headers)

And then also

Android\data\org.xbmc.kodi\files\.kodi\addons\service.autoexec\addon.xml

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
