Hello everyone. I am struggling for a while now with an annoying problem. I have a canon digital camera that makes pictures of 6 MB per piece. I read them directly into my media PC to the Pictures folder. Then I use XBMC to watch all pictures.

The problem is that XBMC does not give me the option to delete a certain picture when viewing the file fullscreen. I can only watch them. This is quite annoying because I will have to use my laptop and a SAMBA connection to view and delete the files. Because they are 6MB, this is a very slow process.

My question: is there a way (maybe with some XML file?) to enable deletion of pictures in XBMC while vieweing them full screen? Seems like a simple feature that will save many users a lot of time.

Thank you for your help.

I had the same problem so after 2 days of googeling around I finally managed to make it work. In order to implement this function follow the next steps:

1. Go to system - settings - Appearance - File List - "Allow file renaming and deleting" - checked
2. Create a subfolder in your xbmc folder called "UserScripts" - ex "d:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\UserScripts"
3. Create the fololwing script in that folder. Save it as "delete.py"

#============== Delete Pictures Script =======================================

Code:

import xbmc, xbmcgui, os,  sys
import time

filePath = xbmc.getInfoLabel("Slideshow.Path")
fileName = xbmc.getInfoLabel("Slideshow.FileName")

file = filePath + fileName

xbmc.executebuiltin('Notification(' + 'File Deleted' + ', ' + file + ',1000)')
def delete_file(file):
    if os.path.exists(file):
        os.remove(file)

delete_file(file)
xbmc.executebuiltin("Action(Right)")
xbmc.executebuiltin("XBMC.CleanLibrary(video)")

#=============================================================================

4. Edit the file "d:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\system\keymaps\keyboard.xml"
In the <SlideShow> group add a line
<delete>RunScript("d:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\UserScripts\delete.py")</delete>

5. Restart XBMC

When I use the script above with Kodi under Debian 8.2, I get the following error in log:

Code:

Please tell me how to make this script work in my case?

[ronie]

the code didn't display properly in the post. fixed now.

I haven't noticed any changes in the code. What you have changed?

Thanks! The script now works but only for local files.
How to make it work for files on smb share?

[ronie]

something like this should work:

Code:

import os, xbmc, xbmcgui, xbmcvfs

filePath = xbmc.getInfoLabel("Slideshow.Path")
fileName = xbmc.getInfoLabel("Slideshow.FileName")

file = os.path.join(filePath, fileName)

def delete_file(file):
    if xbmcvfs.exists(file):
        success = xbmcvfs.delete(file)
        dialog = xbmcgui.Dialog()
        if success:
            dialog.notification('File Deleted', file, xbmcgui.NOTIFICATION_INFO, 1000)
        else:
            dialog.notification('Failed To Delete', file, xbmcgui.NOTIFICATION_ERROR, 1000)

delete_file(file)
xbmc.executebuiltin("Action(Right)")

ronie, you are amazing! Now this script deletes files on smb shares too. Thank you very much!

If you have a remote controller all you need to do is press the clear button when you are hovering over the picture you want to delete, it will ask you if you want to delete it.

I don't have "clear" button on my Apple TV 1st gen remote control.

Hi, I hope somebody is still following this threat.

When I was trying the scripts I obtain only error messages when pressing the "delete" button while watching a pictures slide show. These are the two logs I get from the two scripts (I tried both)

My question would be if I have done something fundamentally wrong or if these scripts can not run on the current Kodi version(s) (the errors are from Jarvis 16.1 but I guess the question would be the same for Krypton)?
