Port xbmcsalud to an SPK (XBMC headless to update mysql db)

[piejanssens]

Scanning for new movies/shows/episodes can be a pain (takes ages with large libraries, especially on small devices like the Raspberry Pi.

Third party applications such as CouchPotato, HeadPhones, SickBeard and others can notify XBMC to scan the library or even add a specific new file to the library without a full scan. This of course requires at least one XBMC instance to be (always) on.

The idea for this package is to have a small XBMC version running on DSM that updates the MySQL library. unRAID users have such a solutions under the name of 'xbmcsalud' and the source is available!

Hey guys just came across this page, Would love for this to be working on synology DSM would save me having to run a seperate virtual machine :)

Thanks for linking to my guide aswell, That is what i am currently using for a headless XBMC. I wrote it to help others so hopefully it does :)
