Here is a simple way to remotely start the Kodi's Video clean process
Of course, you can use the web interface to do so
If you don't want to open any program, you can create a script that will call the JSON RPC of Kodi
For Linux and Mac client systems :
#!/bin/bash
##
Configure your KODI RPC details here
XBMC_HOST=192.168.1.50
XBMC_PORT=8080
XBMC_USER=osmc
XBMC_PASS=osmc
function
kodi_req
{
curl
-s
-i -X
POST
--header
"Content-Type:
application/json"
-d
"$1"
http://$XBMC_USER:$XBMC_PASS@$XBMC_HOST:$XBMC_PORT/jsonrpc
}
#
Clean
kodi_req
'{
"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method":
"VideoLibrary.Clean", "id": "mybash"}';
#
simply add a CR LF to the concole output
echo
"
";
