Small "My Music" library improvement

[amadawn]

hi!

i normally use the "library" mode to access my music collection from my xbox with xbmc. it works pretty well but there are some problems related to the handling of removed and new files that i hope could be fixed:

- when xbmc gets to a file that has been removed but which is still in the library, it shows an error message to which you can only click ok. instead the error message should also give you the optionto remove the file from the library. there could even be an option to automatically remove files that are not found from the database.

- if i add new files to the database, i can only access them from the "file" mode. there i must manually add them to the library. i'd be nice if files were automatically added to the database when they are played (i.e., when a file is played, xbmc could check if it was in the database, and if not, add it to it).

just small things, but it would make the database handling a bit better.

as usual, thanks to the developpers for the wonderful xbmc application!!! :d

cheers,

amadawn

in response to your first point about removing deleted items, have you found the 'clean music library' option found in settings>music>general? it does exactly what you want (removes all deleted files from the db).

i know about that option and it works well, but with a large database the "cleaning" process can be pretty slow. if xbmc already knows that a file is not there anymore, and shows an error message, shouldn't it give you the option to remove it from the library right away?
