Auto Re-Index (on a schedule)

I'd love to see a routine to automatically rebuild the index every 1/7/30 nights. This would solve my biggest gripe about the otherwise wonderful Bluesound system. As musicians and music lovers, we are creating new mixes, new recordings, improved rips, improved meta, etc., every day in my house -- and having to manually re-index is a real drag. If indexing process itself is totally indispensable to the way Bluesound works (I don't really know), then at least, there could be a Settings selection to auto re-build every 1/7/30 nights. This would solve the biggest bug in the UI.

  It appears the logs are not available anymore. Could not find them either.

  @Erland, the rebuild index will not work the same way because it will need a user input (confirmation dialog).
  
  url will be: http://x.x.x.x/delete_index?noheader
  retrieving the logfile: http://x.x.x.x/diag?print=1

  Thanks Bjørn, I will need to try that when I get my players. (I got two Pulse 2I Mini, mainly for evaluation, and I will soon be a former Sonos customer. However, I did not like the sound of the Mini, so I will return them and go for the regular 2I instead. Not all I need are in stock, so it will take two weeks or so, before I have it all.)

  I like to believe that the confirmation dialog is in the controller only, but we will see.

  I'm finding it more reliable to use Chrome to do the re-index.  I run the following command via Task Sceduler.  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"  using the arguments  http://192.168.xx.xx:11000/Reindex  (where xx.xx is the internal IP address of your BlueSound player).

   

  I then run a batch file a few minutes later (also from Task Scheduler) to close Chrome.  The batch file contains the following (remove the "rem" statements to try different versions)...

  Rem - this batch file closes Chrome after morning re-index of Bluesound
  rem Taskkill /F /IM "Chrome.exe" /T
  Taskkill /IM "Chrome.exe"
  rem use without /F to avoid the not closed down properly message - however this leaves the tabs open
  rem pause

  I figured it out. Curl permits you to submit input with the --data option:

  curl --output C:\temp\curl1.txt http://192.168.x.x/delete_index?noheader --data yes

  That seems to do the trick.
