You could try using the port 9090 cli rather than calling scanner.pl
directly in your script and see if that makes a difference. Here is
some code based on Max Spicer's shutdown perl script:
Code:
--------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# perl script to initiate a rescan via the cli
# uses code from Max Spicer's shutdown.pl
use strict;
use IO::Socket;
use POSIX qw(strftime);
# Print debug output if true. Higher values increase verbosity.
my $debug = 0;
# Change server details below if necessary
my $socket = IO::Socket::INET->new (PeerAddr => '127.0.0.1',
PeerPort => 9090,
Proto => 'tcp',
Type => SOCK_STREAM)
or die 'Couldn\'t connect to server';
# Iniate a rescan
print "Initiating a rescan...\n";
my $rescan = sendAndReceive('rescan');
$debug && print "rescan returned $rescan\n";
close $socket;
# Send given cmd to $socket and return answer with original command removed
from
# front if present. Routine nicked from code by Felix Mueller. :-)
sub sendAndReceive {
my $cmd = shift;
return if( $cmd eq "");
print $socket "$cmd\n";
$debug > 1 && print "Sent $cmd to server\n";
my $answer = <$socket>;
$debug > 1 && print "Server replied: $answer\n";
$answer =~ s/$cmd //i;
$answer =~ s/\n//;
return $answer;
}
--------------------
I use this method all the time to get SC to look for new music and it
works flawlessly for me without needing to restart the SC service.
