Hi all. Some movies come with an additional "extras" folder, containing various clips. The clips can have various names, and do not follow a clear naming convention as such. The main movie is in the parent folder, and has a Kodi-formatted nfo file, which gets correctly imported. Directory structure is like this: /M/Mad Max - Fury Road (2015)/Mad.Max.Fury.Road.2015.Some.Scene.Tags.That.Are.Not.Important.As.Scan.Is.Done.With.NFO.Prio/ Mad.Max.Fury.Road.Same.Scene.Naming.mkv Mad.Max.Fury.Road.Same.Scene.Naming.nfo Mad.Max.Fury.Road.Same.Scene.Naming.srt Mad.Max.Fury.Road.Same.Scene.Naming-fanart.jpg Mad.Max.Fury.Road.Same.Scene.Naming-logo.png Mad.Max.Fury.Road.Same.Scene.Naming-mediainfo.xml Mad.Max.Fury.Road.Same.Scene.Naming-poster.jpg extras/ Fury Road - Crash and Smash.mkv ...etc... Is it either possible to exclude any files found in an "extras" folder, or add the files as extras to the main movie? As stated, the extras-files can be named random things, and does not follow any naming convention. TIA Chris
Yes - see naming conventions in the file below: http://forum.zidoo.tv/index.php?attachments/hometheatre-file-suffixes-and-naming-jan-22-pdf.8654/
Hi @Markswift2003 Thanks once again for taken the time to answer. I did read the PDF and various other naming-convention threads here, before posting, but as far I understand from the PDF, I would have to rename the files and put them in the same folder as the main movie, and then add numbers to each file, where the main movie would be #1. In that case I would rather just exclude the extras folder from the scan, if that's a possibility? /Chris
@Markswift, thanks. Maybe I haven't enabled an expert setting, but as far as I can see I can only enable filtering on a top level, meaning I can mark folder 'M' to be skipped, but not dive into the sub folders to mark Mad Max Fury Road's "extras" folder and still have all of 'M' scanned. Is there an option to state that the scanning should skip all folders which has the name: "extras"? /Chris
Sorry, no, you can only exclude top level sub-directories in the Source directory I'm afraid. However, if all your extras folders are called "extras" or contain the string, you can add an exclusion in Preferences:
@Markswift2003: This is exactly what I'm looking for (I think). Thank you very much for taking the time to help me (and maybe others) out.
