.ignore file is not working

[You4eea 0]

When I place a .ignore file into a directory under a "Movie" folder (example /path/to/movie/foldertohide/.ignore the "foldertoignore" is present when I got front end.

Note:

It was working, but I ran into issue with my original file/directory structure (seperated out tv from movies, fixed it, refreshed emby database and now .ignore files are ignored.

I have search high and low, no joy.. .Any suggestions?

Thanks

See screenshot

Put the .ignore file in the movie folder - not the sub-folder.

In your example - put it in ..\2010 Space Odyssey (1984\.ignore

This should then work after a 'Scan Media Library' in the scheduler.

edit - Ah - I just realised what I think you are trying to do ..

You want the converted media to show (the mkv etc) but you want to hide the original DVD folder structure ?

If you go into the DVDFiles folder - what does it show ?

What you have 'should' work - did you run a Scan Media library ?

@LukeActually it looks like ".ignore" files are not working of DVD structure itself as I tested this nested and normal dvd item in a movie library and it was not removed. 

Works fine on normal video file folders.

Do you want to ignore all dvd folders? You could just uninstall the dvd folder plugin.

issue resolved in beta 4.7.0.28, in my tests.
