Use Home Assistant to update Kodi MariaDB library

Hello,

In my house I have multiple media players (nVidia Shield). On all these players I use Kodi to watch video. I’ve created a central MariaDB for Kodi on my Synology NAS. This whole setup is working fine, the only annoying thing is that I manually have to update the library to add the newly downloaded content to my library.

Is there a way to use the Kodi integration in Home Assistant to update the MariaDB on my Synology NAS? I’ve been trying to create a automation, but this doesn’t work unfortunately:
