Well basically as the title already says I want to be able to remove a whole folder and its succeeding subfolders from the video database. Maybe this already in XBMC but I haven't figured out yet how to do this...

Thanks for your help in advance

Rename the top level folder and do a Clean Library?
Or rename and Update Library if you have a very recent build (if I understand it correctly).

Well, I think you get it right But what I am really asking for is a button in the context menu that says "Remove from library". Actually I have all my files on a NAS and other machines are accessing that aswell (and some have indexed that aswell ). So renaming the folder would lead to inconsistent indices on all other machines. Having a button that only works on XBMC's index would be the best solution then

You could of course rename it right back.
But I catch your drift..

unassing content for the folder.

you will be asked if you want to wipe all entries from the db.

...but there already seems to be a "Remove From Library" context menu option for videos while in Library mode in SVN build 8807
It' not available for music though.

[spiff]

yes, you can remove entities, sure. (movies, episodes, tvshows).

but to remove a complete path, you need to do what i said.

Hey spiff,

thank you for your help This really did it! But well, it is not very intuitive, isn't it? Maybe there should be a button for this anyway? What do you think?

Thanks again

Ok, a question then.
This option is not available in Music. Is it redundant there, or simply has not been implemented?

[spiff]

latter mostly. although i never personally felt the need for it either.
