I just re-named all backdrop folders to .backdrop and made sure all .backdrop folders were hidden

Here is the folder structure

Now upon rescan the themes are showing up as movies right next to the movie itself

I'm on the latest beta .78, Windows 11

Any way to hide these backdrop themes from showing in the Movies folder?  I thought that adding a dot to the front of the directory name and hiding then folder would do the trick.

HI, other than deleting the files, no, not really. Did you decide you don't want to use backdrops anymore? You can just turn that feature off in the UI.

Luke thanks for the quick reply.

This only happened when I changed the name from backdrops to .backdrops.

I'll change it back to see if it makes a difference.

Right I was just asking why you changed the name in the first place. For instance if you wanted to stop using them you could also just disable them in the UI.

Luke I figured it out.

The only reason I decided to change the backdrop folders to .backdrop was because a few showed up in my movie list and I thought by hiding the directory it would not scan the directory.

The only thing with me changing the subfolder name from backdrops to .backdrops was a even more showed up in my movie list. 

I changed it back and everything is working.  No themes in the movie list  Everything looks good now.

 

Thanks for the help
