I have started using the videos section rather than moving pictures but I have a question regarding adding and removing files...

Adding anything new is fine and works just fine. I'm assuming you have to do a manual scan to update the database though?

When I remove a file from my server and do a scan the it doesn't seem remove that redundant entry in the database for some reason. Is that normal?

    Yes, currently you have to delete the db entry manually, I'm hoping in the future that Deda can produce a smart scan that can remove missing files, as well as adding them.

    Just do a file(share view)/title(db view) delete from MP and all will be good.

    Auto Db clean on File delete is doable relatively easy, but auto scan is another story. Maybe in 1.4.0 (hint: I didn't say that I never tried to do that :))

    Couldn't the code by used from moving pictures as that seems to have always been capable of doing it. Come to think of it, so does the mytvseries.

    People always forget that MyVids is not only plugin for itself. Even you can disable it in configuration, many parts of it is still used in MP so you can not just add things inside and put a :) because 5 mins later you will get :mad: from other parts of MP.
