How to automatically remove movies from library ? - Groooompf - 2024-05-21

Hi,

I wish to know if there is a way to make Kodi automatically remove from library movies that are no more in the folder.
Kodi does an auto scan of my folder at launch to add movies in the library, but if a movie is no more in the folder, Kodi does not remove it from the library.

Thank you for your help.

<cleanonupdate>false</cleanonupdate> <!-- default set to false to prevent Kodi from removing items from the database while updating. -->

You mean if it set to "true", kodi will remove movies when it updates ?

Yes, be aware if a source isn't available it could wipe all of the videos on it from the library.
