Hello, I've got a couple questions that I can hopefully get answered here. After some basic searching I've seen multiple recommendations, so I figured that I'd post here for the correct info. The PC is running W7 64 bit with 4GB of memory and I'm running the Kodi 14.2 version.
1. I have some movies / TV shows that I either want to remove after watching them or I've watched some of it and decided that I don't want it in my library anymore. If I delete it from my WHS 2011 server what is the best way to remove them from Kodi??
2. I also found 2 of my series (Orange is the New Black & The Greatest American Hero) have their episodes mixed together in Kodi. What would be the best way to correct this??
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

1\ If you have deleted the files from the source you now need to "Clean Video Library". Go into Settings \ Video \ Library and locate "Clean Library...".
1b\ It is also worth noting that if you have jsut watched the show and know you are about to delete it, then RIGHT CLICk the show in the library (or hit C for context menu) and delete the show that way.
2\ To correct confused episodes go and manually read TheTVDB.com and work out what the error is. Sometimes shows are broadcast in different orders. Or a pirate torrent gets named different to theTVDB.com for some reason. You may have to tweak the file name to better fit theTVDB.com's listing.

Kodi will ask for removal if we're unsure how to handle because the underlying source was removed. You won't be prompted if the files were removed and the actual media source still exists.

I was talking about clean library. Whenever you try to play a non-existing file from the library view you will get prompted to keep or delete.

Me too: to Clean Library command from Settings menu
Can i tune it in such a way that it just removes library entries when the vid sources is no longer there, but without asking Remove/Keep?

I would just enable file deletion in Kodi (
Settings/Appearance/File lists (wiki) -> "Allow file renaming and deletion" ) and then remove things from within Kodi. When that setting is enabled and you remove a show/episode/movie from the library it will ask if you also want to delete the file, so you can do the two actions at once.

You have to do this from within your underlying OS. Kodi does not have a native scheduler (there might be add-ons ofc).

You can trigger that via JSON API but i have no idea how to do it on android, sorry. I bet you will find some information about this on the web.
