Hi.

Sorry for the newbness.

My question is:

How can a file that is no longer in a source be removed automatically from your active files in the Movie Section for example:

I have my movies in folders called "Seen" and "Unseen"
The source I added in XBMC for movies is the Unseen folder, after I see a movie I move it to the Seen folder.
XBMC does not automatically remove these file when I re-open (I have scan active every time I open XBMC)
So to remove it I have to click the movie poster, it says file no longer available and then I have to click remove.

Is there a way for the files no longer in a source to be removed automatically after the rescan happens when I open XBMC again?

Hope you guys understand and can help.

Thanks!!

There is no automatic option as fas as I know, but you can clean the library from settings>video>library. This will remove all the non existent library entries.

You need to create advancedsettings.xml file in the folder C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata. Copy the following code to notepad and save it as advancedsettings.xml.

Code:

<advancedsettings>
    <cleanonupdate>true</cleanonupdate>
</advancedsettings>

I guess using the Watched & Unwatched features of XBMC is just not for you? If you do start using this feature, use the advanced settings script to import your watched status on a rebuild.
