The project is dead, but all the essentials are running (prune, cache, find duplicates, etc.). You don't have to develop a "finished tool" infinitely and fix every little special case.

The project is dead

Better: NO, this Project is not dead, but it is ready developed and covers 99.99% of the intended use!

I use it weekly and it even works for me 100% error free if you follow all the specifications (most important is not to use Python 3!).

This script is an allround tool for editing the databases and the file system regarding media. I would even think it would be excellent if you put this in its own menu with the most important cleanup steps and progress bar directly in the Kodi settings (of course adapted to Python 3 first).

For example:

• Clean up all media files (prune).
• Cache all media files
• Cache movie media (movies, sets)
• Cache TV show media (tvshows)
• Cache music media (albums, artists, songs)
• Edit settings (simply open texturecache.cfg with an editor)

Conclusion: The script works absolutely flawless under current Kodi v19 and v20 (alpha) and with Python 2.7.18. There is no reason not to use it and talk about a "dead project".
