How can the data base automatically be cleaned, delete orphan entries each time (or each second, third time etc.) XBMC starts (or closes)? Instead of doing it manually by clicking "CleanLibrary(Video).

Put this in your advancedsettings.xml.
Code:
<videolibrary>
<cleanonupdate>true</cleanonupdate>
</videolibrary>

Things to take into consideration when using this advancedsetting:
If at any point your sources are not available (eg. network problem) your entire database will be cleaned out.

Something to consider for the future
mark library items as N/A (soft clean) and don't show them in UI. If source is on-line again items can be marked as AVAILABLE and could be shown in UI without the need to scrape metadata again.

There is a GSOC project that aims to do just this.

Many thanks for the code, Hitcher.
Many thanks.

The videos themselves never could be deleted autoamtically.
Many thanks.

I'd love to be able to specify a "test" file from my NAS. If XBMC can get to that file, then go ahead and update/clean the library. If it can't, leave the library alone.
