Using Scheduler to update Smartlists?
« on: February 13, 2016, 10:33:53 am »

Is there a way to configure the Scheduler service to essentially "refresh" a specific smartlist, or a group of smartlists?

I've made ten or so random albums smartlists for each genre I hve.  What I would like to do is to have these smartlists refreshed each week since I can't refresh them when I play an album on JRemote.

MCC_REFRESH (22007) seems to work for me.

So you'd want to schedule a web command. You could use a simple shell script, and then schedule it with Automator and Calendar, Hazel, Launch Control, cron/launchd, or Cocktail or something.

Code: [Select]
#!/bin/bash
curl -- "http://username:password@localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/Control/MCC?Command=22007"
echo -e "\n\nstatus returned was: $?"

I'm pretty sure that would do it. You could schedule it every day, or whatever you want.

If that doesn't work, you could script it to restart using this instead:
http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/Control/CommandLine?Arguments=/Restart

But MCC_REFRESH worked for me when I just tested briefly.

Very nice Glynor.  Seems to work correctly.
