robertpolson 1 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Because I use Macs in my house, OS X creates files starting with a period before the name. These files are used for thumbnails or whatever else OS X Finder needs them for. However, unlike Plex and Kodi, Ember indexes files that are names as "._Movie Name" and they show up as duplicated media files in the library. How can I tell Emby to not index files with "." in front of the name? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjp4756 41 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 As far as I can see there isn't a way to tell emby server to ignore the ._ files. I think some code changes would be required for that to happen. For the time being I simply delete the ._* files from my media directories. I also try not to use finder to browse my media. I try to do everything from terminal or on my server via ssh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5055 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 The only thing close that I'm aware of is the .ignore file in any folder will tell Emby to ignore all files in the folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raphaeldavid 0 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I think the problem arises from the use of a MAC with a NAS. Hidden files are created (.file, see attached file) I can erase the file directly on my NAS, but it would be more practical to exclude this type of file.

Luke 37178 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 ok we are already supposed to be ignoring files that start with ._ , and this is out of the box with no configuration required. so i will have to retest that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott84Z28 39 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 If you had your movies in their own sub-folders, you wouldn't have this problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37178 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 are you on the latest version of the server? we have an ignore clause for this very thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasper.j 0 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I'm still on 3.0.5724.6, because it's the lastest edition available via FreeBSD Ports, i was too lazy to setup Emby by myself Was the fix implemented after that version, so an update should fix it?

Luke 37178 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 it has been there for a long time actually but it is best to try on the latest version before additional dev time is spent looking for a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaskitch 0 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Ok, i found it. it's resolved for the next release. thanks. I just installed build 3.0.5781.1 and still see the same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37178 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Sorry, I should have clarified. I meant next major release. 5781.1 is just a path release with a couple fixes. I wasn't comfortable sending this fix straight to release, so it is going through the full dev, beta, stable cycle. By the same token, we will probably have another patch release next week and this will not be included in that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreluizrangel 0 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Same problem with me. Any idea when that next major release might come out? I was considering using the embed instead of plex but this functionality for Mac users is indispensable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
