thanks for the quick reply Anthirian, i wish i had time to get back into coding and dive into the code myself.

keep up the great work!

Hi, Is the option "delete files with similar names" work for anybody?

It never deletes my subtitles. I have usually two subtitle files and they look like this:

name.mkv
name.en.srt
name.bg.srt

But it never deletes the subtitles...

Hi zorvalth, unfortunately at the moment the language codes that are appended to the filename are not being checked. Currently the filename is split by extension (.srt) and the file path (name, name.en or name.bg). Since these are not the same they will not be cleaned. I do plan to fix this, as appending the language code is common practice for most subtitle downloaders. You can expect a fix for this with the Gotham release, but possibly before that.

Hi everyone,

I have been working on support for stacked movies, i.e. movies that have multiple parts (cd1, dvd1, part1, etc.). If you have this kind of movies, could you please help me test this by switching to the 'stacked_movies' branch? Please attach log files to any issue you may find.

Thanks in advance.

@Anthirian - per this thread: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=189144 - I am looking at setting up a take away xbmc system.

Basically, when I get back from holidays I want to use trakt.tv to mark off the stuff I watched on holidays, then XBMC FIle Cleaner maybe to delete the watched items off the holiday unit.

Ideally, this would mean, rather than having a service, having File Cleaner work as on-demand. A number of other addons work this way (trakt itself, artwork downloader etc) - whereby they can be run either way.

Is this something you'd consider adding maybe (or have I missed a method for this already?)

On-demand launching has been on my to do list for a long time, as you can see on GitHub. I've been meaning to implement it, but it appears that it would require a significant overhaul of the addon as it is now. I will eventually get around to it, but it will take quite a while before it is actually usable.

No probs, will keep an eye out for it if it should happen.

Hi everyone, I have just pushed my work on the Cleaning Log functionality that was requested by lysin. This enables you to take a look at the files XBMC File Cleaner has deleted/moved, right from within the addon settings. Before this gets pushed to the official repo however I would like some test results, specifically bug reports in case issues occur. Please check out the cleaning_log branch on GitHub and report back to me if you encounter issues. Thanks in advance!

Hi XBMC File cleaner stopped working for me on Xbian wih XBMC 12.2.
File Cleaner is 3.2.1

Apparently asking for the disk space on smb://BT/D/ is not valid. It needs to be checked on the mount point, but since XBMC uses an internal mounting system it might be a bit harder than I thought.

Hi, having any luck?

This is the latest I see:

Unfortunately I haven't found a fix-all solution yet for your problem. In the meantime a lot of new features were added in the master branch, including better logging for various parts. Could you try cloning from github and posting a fresh debug log of your problem? Please post the entire log to www.xbmclogs.com if possible.

I'm running Gotham 13:

and get this error:

18:08:33 T:3058221056 DEBUG: Addon script.filecleaner requires xbmc.gui version 4.0.0 which is not available

Hi, I got an idea for a feature. Something like delete tv show when they are watched and older than X episodes behind. For example i want to keep only the last 2 episodes. I tried to put 15 days but sometimes tv shows got pauses for a month or two. Sorry for my english I hope you got what i mean...

installed the master version and get the following error on the lastest nightly win32.

That's strange. I am running Gotham beta 4 and I can import xbmc.gui just fine. Are you running an older beta than I am? Or maybe you are running two separate XBMC versions that interfere with eachother?

I think I do understand. It should not be too hard to implement since I can just ask XBMC for the current episode number. It will probably not be ready for the Gotham update yet though, but sometime later.

Thanks for the bug report. It appears I forgot to add unicode support for finding related files. The fix might be easy enough. Could you add the following code at the start of the for loop where the error happens?


The result would look like this.

If that does not fix it, do you happen to have the full path of the video that was being cleaned and contains unicode characters, as well as the rest of the folder's contents?
