how to clear the search history kodi/ tsmedia

[orange1234]

Does anyone know how to clear the search history in Kodi?
When I go into Kodi I have clicked on config and I can't see an option for it there, and I've looked at the 'virtual keyboard' menu too, but that only has 'keyboard map'.

[mfaraj]

Delete file /etc/TSmedia/history or etc/Kodidirect/ history
or from TSmedia/desktop/settings/clear search history

[orange1234]

Thanks I found the delete history in TS Media I missed it. one down one to go

TS Media>Desktop>General settings>the blue button "Delete history"

or a quicker way...TS Media>Desktop "Yellow Button" (settings)>the blue button "Delete history"



Now for Kodi

I went to plugins and downloaded a file manager. I can't see how to get to etc>Kodi>History.

File Browser>Kodi direct then I have got Parent Directory when I click on it it takes me back to File tree.

Am I in the wrong place?

Thanks for helping

I went further down the file tree on etc...and near the bottom there is a directory called xmltvimport >with a file called "history"

Thats the only history I can find and I am hesitant on deleting it, mfaraj, Is that the one you mean?

[mfaraj]

for kodidirect the history file
etc/history

[orange1234]

for kodidirect the history file
etc/history

Thanks mfaraj for your help. The problem on my solo2 is that in the Kodi Directory I have

<Parent directory>
KodiDirect\
<Parent directory>
favorites.xml

and nothing else

Am I looking in the wrong place I wonder?

[cactikid]

wonder if he is using filezilla to see the history file
etc/history ?? is that what you mean i wonder?

Hi cactikid, in addons, I am using Filebrowser. Is there something else I should be using? Is Filezilla the one to use, Where do I get that?

You would think there was a delete history button in Kodi perhaps on the virtual Keyboard, instead the keyboard seems to hold an infinite list of everything you have ever searched for.... grrr.

[cactikid]

if that happened me probably delete kodi from plugins and start again .will have a look in my kodi to see anything
is there a settings?

[cactikid]

ok i used filezilla and directed to etc folder and scrolled down i see history there

filezilla is a ftp program i use to send files to box [ client version ]

[mfaraj]

in next close update of kodidirect and TSmedia delete search history function will be added to virtualkeyboard itself when pressing menu

Thanks mfaraj, that will be much easier and intuitive for the user.

Mfaraj do you have any plans to make Istream available on Kodi or TsMedia? I have to keep reverting to my android box to use it for finding movies and prgrames even solar and primewire does not find.

i tried with old version of istream to convert to enigma but failed but i will try again with new version

Thanks again mfaraj, Istream is worth the effort, it's excellent at finding working links...to almost anything!

Hi cactikid, in case anyone else is still scratching splinters off their head looking for "history" in Kodi then I thought I post this.

I have downloaded filezilla client and connected to the vu+ solo2 via ftp

If anyone needs to know how to do that

1) Go to menu\setup
2) System\Network
3) Device setup
4) Adapter settings
5) current settings\IP address (mine is 192.168.0.9)

Write your IP address down.
Download filezilla client and install
In the host box (top left) enter your IP address, and in the Username type root, click quick connect.

I have a screenshot of what I can see ... etc/Kodi only has one file, favourites.xml

A couple more questions,

I can see a directory for Dreamplex and XMBC

I Installed Dreamplex to have a look at it and I have since uninstalled it. Dreamplex has empty folders am I safe to delete these. (I am wondering why it was left behind if it was uninstalled)

XMBC folder has what looks to be either Kodi or TSmedia files.

I can see a folder xmbc\pic that has lots of .png files of every thing that has ever been watched, there hundreds of .png files. The current folder size is 25,467,387 bytes (25 Megabites)

Can I delete all these?

I am wondering why does Kodi or TSMedia does not erase these old redundant files automatically on exit, or, is there a setting somewhere, so I can do this?

At this rate I fear my HD will be full of useless files taking up valuable hard drive space needlessly.

If this is a fault in Kodi and TS Media, I am wondering if there a system tools somewhere (like CCleaner for windows) to clean all these redundant old files out?

Thanks
