Verify Sources Before Clean on Gotham #29

"Verify Sources Before Clean - Frodo only! This feature is no longer needed with XBMC Gotham."

It looks like you removed this feature from Gotham because it is no longer needed? I'm running Gotham and having issues - when the auto updater plugin runs it performs a clean even though my media server is asleep, and the client's library is wiped out. Any ideas how to fix? Thanks.

Do you have the addon set to run a clean on every update, or do you have something set in the advancedsettings.xml file to do this? Also, is this happening on video or music?

For video this should no longer happen as in Gotham the cleaning function should prompt you if the parent path is no longer available (ie, source is off). Here is a brief description of that process: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=182715

I have the addon set to clean on every update. it's happening on video.

Here's what is happening. If I put the server to sleep and then try to update from a client then it hangs for a long time, and eventually a pop-up dialog appears in XBMC. I don't remember the exact wording but it was something like "do you want to keep or remove the files for this directory"? I chose keep the files but XBMC still seemed to remove them. So maybe a bug with XBMC Gotham or maybe I'm misunderstanding what the pop-up dialog is intended for. Thanks.

Also, since that time I gave up trying to update from client; I migrated from the SQLite database to the MySql database, and then I just scheduled only my server (which is also running XBMC) to perform the updates. It works very well.

Killing this since Gotham is several years old at this point.
