Hello guys
I have been searching/reading, but cant seem to find clarity about what these functions do/limitations/gotchas etc
It seems that if there is an item which has physically moved on the HD, or has been deleted, then XBMC does not correct this when performing these functions.
For example, I have many movies that have been deleted from the folder on my HD where I keep my videos... but they still show in XBMC after scanning for new content. It seems the only way to get the library to be accurate is to delete the database and start again, or to delete the items manually in xbmc, which id very much like to avoid because I do not keep track of the movies I have deleted.
I think the same thing happens with the music library "scan item to library" does not seem to correct paths if I have moved my physical MP3 files.
I'd love some xbmc professor to explain what these functions so, and if there is a way to have xbmc to "clean" the library when doing a scan.
Thanks guys,
Mark.
