Hi,
today I added a TV Show with a directory like "tvshow_name! (1990)". The .nfo file had the following info:
After scanning the library for the new show to be picked up, I noticed that whenever from the show list I hovered over that specific show kodi would totally crash. I checked this several times. I couldn't even get inside the show, just hovering over it caused kodi to crash.
After several tests I realized that it was the exclamation mark that was bothering me. In fact by removing it (both from the folder and the nfo file) kodi created another show (without the exclamation mark) which this time worked perfectly.
Now, however, I am left with the old show in the list and if I happen to even hover over it kodi crashes completely. I would like to remove the old tvshow but I cannot get over it to go to the settings and remove from there because, as I said, it completely crashes.
How can I delete a show WITHOUT going through GUI? I already tried cleaning the library but it is not enough.
P.s.: I supposed this was a problem regarding special characters but.. could it be that the problem actually was the fact that I added to the folder 4 images named "artwork.jpg", "banner.jpg", "poster.jpg" and "fanart.jpg"? Maybe the fact that they hadn't the correct resolution/aspect ratio?
