General

Treat Stacked Files as a Single File Will cause stacked files to be displayed as one file. Auto resume from last position When enabled, XBMC will automatically resume videos always from the last position that you were viewing them, even after restarting the system. Note: You can also start a movie from the last stopped position by opening the context-menu on a movie file (white button on the gamepad) or by just clicking the "Play" button on the remote without the need to have this option enabled. Enable Autoswitching to Thumbs View Can be used to automatically view the contents of a folder in the thumbnail view when 50% of all the items (files and folder) have thumbs. Use Large Icons Will use large thunbnails, as opposed to normal-sized thumbs when autoswitching. Clean Library This item will perform a number of 'cleanup' tasks on your video database and should be run if you have removed or renamed the physical files after a database scan. Tip: XBMC puts a video in it's database if you change any OSD setting while watching, also resume points are stored here. Removes any videos with invalid paths + all information tied to these files. Removes all removable media (example: DVD) without checking for existance + all information tied to these files.
