I seem to have a few entries in the xbmc database for tv series that I've long deleted. Is there anyone to remove these entries - apart from cleaning the db and starting from scratch. I dont want to lose the database of all the shows I'm busy watching.

Code:

If you've removed the shows from your filesystem then you need to perform a library clean (Settings -> Video -> Clean library...).

The clean will only remove movies and shows that are no longer accessible, so it won't remove anything you are busy watching (as long as the files remain accessible to XBMC).

Thanks. I always thought a clean library trashed everything Smile

It shouldn't do - just make sure your sources are all online (removable HDD connected etc.) when you perform the clean. Prior to Gotham, media on removable storage was at risk of being removed if the storage wasn't connected, but there are some checks to prevent this now.
