Is there any way to force re-index video using command line?

[beyo77]

After split and join file to cut off commercials i would like to be able to force regenerating index by CLI.
what is the desired order of things - should I regenerate video first and then re-detect commercials or generating video index force commercials to recheck?

New Option on Recording - Regenerate Streaming Index

If you have jq installed you can use this trick: for id in $(curl -qs http://localhost:8089/dvr/files | jq -r '.[].ID'); do if [ "true" != "$(curl -sq http://localhost:8089/dvr/files/$id/mediainfo.json | jq -r '.m3u8_up_to_date')" ]; then echo "Regenerating $id" curl -sSXPUT "http://localhost:8089/dvr/files/$id/m3u8" echo fi done It'll grab all of the files on your DVR and only regenerate the ones that need to be.

Re run com skip?

I seem to remember an easier way, but if you're on Linux you can use curl after getting the video ID number... I have a script that looks through the log files after I give it a show and season/episode number and it runs the recomskip. curl -XPUT http://localhost:8089/dvr/files/${NUMBER}/recomskip Edit: replace ${NUMBER} with the actual number if not using a bash variable: curl -XPUT http://localhost:8089/dvr/files/487/recomskip

I don't have jq installed, wanted to avoid json parsing in bash, but maybe it's the only way
I hate bash loop written in one line
what is SXPUT method?

"Put" is an HTTP command.

Create, read, update and delete

@beyo77

written in one line

If you'd prefer to manually enter every file ID, feel free. One-liners are a great way to process many inputs with minimal effort. If you want to make more work for yourself, feel free.

I know about what one-liner is. it's not about more work. Showing to someone someone else's code written in one line is not efficient as it's difficult to read and understand and I really prefer to know what is going on in the script. Try to read JQuery code minimized to one line , good luck
I know PUT method not sure about -sSX addition.

Google is your friend. The curl options are:

• -s – Silent: don't show cURL's progress display
• -S – Show errors: if there's an error, display it
• -X – Request type: cURL defaults to using GET; this overrides that
