Yes, hide updates - that's currently the only way.

I assume REMOVE is removing outdated URL links to previously streamed Video catch-up and related thumbnails, but have noted that this can have an unexpected result i.e. removing watch status "ticks" of previously streamed episode items, when going to look for latest episodes of a popular series. (In my case when using plugin.video.itv addon)
@popcornmix, this is behaviour introduced by a newclock5 patch: https://github.com/popcornmix/xbmc/commi...d7a33b4cb5
(At the very least label 15010 probably now needs to be 15012)
It seems to be removing "optical, non-existing files, files with no matching source" but the "... items from addons?" prompt is a little confusing.
Are there any plans for this to go upstream (I couldn't find any related PR), if not should it be dropped?
