How to Delete Shows?

I realize I may be in the minority here, so bear with me please....

 

I don't like to keep ever single TV Show I watch. I am a long time XBMC user trying to move to Plex with the Raspberry Pi and RasPlex. When I finish watching a TV Show, I typically delete it.

 

I don't know if this is a RasPlex issue, or a general PHT issue. I have in the server the setting to allow files to be deleted. However, I can't figure out where to find that option in the RasPlex interface.

 

Is this just missing? Or have I just not looked hard enough? Any help would be appreciated.

In PHT/RasPlex the "Delete" command is added to the bottom of the context menu of each media item, in case the PMS server had that option set. This only works for individual media items, such as a movie or a TV show episode. It does not work for deleting an entire TV show or an entire season.

In other words:
Navigate to the movie or show episode you want to delete, either 'On Deck' in the main menu or inside a library section. With that movie or episode selected, press the 'C' key on your keyboard to open the context menu, and there select and activate the "Delete" command.
(If you use a remote control instead of a keyboard you need some context menu button corresponding to "C".)

I was pretty sure the context menu should have been there but I am getting nothing in response to the c button.


I installed OSMC on a second SD Card and tested the keyboard with success (using the exact same hardware).


I am using a genuine Microsoft eHome IR receiver and the M$ Remote Keyboard for Windows XP Media Center Edition. It is an infrared keyboard that added all the M$ Media Center Remote keys to itself.


Is there any type of add on that helps to troubleshoot IR inputs? In Windows there is a utility that shows the signals receive by each key press. Something like that would be a big help.

SSH in the the Pi running Rasplex and then type 'irw' and press 'Enter', every time you hit a key on the remote it will echo back the code.

Now this is where it gets interesting, the code will probaly be meaningless, remapping remotes is complex, suggest you search Google, or whichever search engine you use for 'remapping remotes OpenELEC' and digest as much as you can, different remotes require different solutions, there is no generic solution.

I would suggest that you also search this forum for 'remote' as there have been a number of questions and answers which may help.

This was a big help. Thank you. Searching as you suggested turned up this thread: http://openelec.tv/forum/105-keyboards/66536-ms-mce-1044-keyboard-on-847-nuc-openelec

My keyboard is that model 1044 mentioned and running the command suggested is what enabled the qwerty portion of the device. The IRW still does not reflect these keys as being pressed, but the Plex interface does receive the command now. Now I just have to figure out why I received the error: Delete failed message.

Here is the code I ran from SSH after "su -" for root privileges. It *WILL* erase anything already in autostart.sh if it already exists!:

echo -e "#!/bin/sh
echo +mce_kbd > /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols
" > /storage/.config/autostart.sh && chmod +x /storage/.config/autostart.sh
