nzbget-update_kodi's Issues

Add ability to run only if previous script succeeded

Enhancement

It would be good to have an option that will tell update_kodi to only run if the previous extension script succeeded.

This is useful in a scenario where something like VideoSort needs to sort and place files before Kodi should be updated.

Possible solution

1. Add documentation that tells the user to put update_kodi after the required extension script in NZBGet.
2. Create a yes/no option that, when yes, will check that the value of NZBPP_SCRIPTSTATUS is SUCCESS before trying to update Kodi. If it's not, we exit with code 95 (skip).

Error messages aren't logging as ERROR

Some of the error messages are not being logged as actual "ERROR" messages because of capitalization mis-match in the error type.

should be: [ERROR]

Only executes if Kodi is running on the localhost

Because there is a check for if kodi.bin is currently running before hitting the end-point, it is impossible to use this script on a remote host. Also, the check for kodi.bin is too specific to Ubuntu 14.04. It should support other operating systems.

update_kodi.sh should be executable

The script should have a mode of '755'. Because it doesn't, there's a message from NZBGet saying:

update_kodi: Fixing permissions for .../nzbget/scripts/update_kodi/update_kodi.sh
