More questions.. Thanks for all the help so far. These keep coming up as I dig deeper into getting it to work for me.
We use our system as more of a DVR. After we watch a show, could be both at the same time but usually we watch them separately, we're used to clicking delete (in Mediabrowser) and poof, the episode goes away.
Is there any kind of key or delete button that I can click to delete a file off the hard drive?
Thanks
Josh

You'd have to enable "allow file renaming and deletion" in System --> Appearance --> File Lists
And then use the context menu on a highlighted video to remove from the library. You'll have a confirmation dialog to go through before deletion. I also believe "delete" on the keyboard will do it also, after enabling the setting above.

Any chance of adding the symplicity skin feature that would ask you after you're done watching if you wanted to delete the episode you were watching? The default in the skin would be to never ask you to delete, but it could be enabled on a per-show basis and of course there would be a confirmation for delete.
Going through file menus look for context menus to then choose "remove from library" is quite a few steps for such an otherwise easy task.
Thoughts?

As far as I'm concerned thats not going in the skin. imo this would be an xbmc core addition and should not be done through skin hacks.

I think the developers of xbmc have said repeatedly that they are not in favor of adding the delete function to the xbmc core, so I guess it won't happen. Just thought I'd ask because the description in simplicity looked great, but it's no longer working with frodo. Thanks though.
