zachmo826 1 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I'm trying to use both Mediabrowser and XBMC in the same environment. After installing the Movie Theme plugin and running that, it created several backdrop folders next to each individual movie, as expected. Problem is XBMC treats each of these new files as an individual movie. Does anyone have any recommendations on how best to get XBMC to ignore those files on a scan? Is there something different I can do in MediaBrowser to have it create some type of ignore file for each backdrop folder in XBMC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xnappo 1593 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) There is a way to tell XBMC to ignore directories - not at home though - will respond with more info tonight. Long term though, hopefully you will be able to use my AddOn instead! https://github.com/xnappo/plugin.video.XBMB3C xnappo Edited November 14, 2013 by xnappo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachmo826 1 Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 Tried to give it a shot but I don't think I have enough knowledge in this area. I'm using an unraid server as my backend, but attempting to mark folders as hidden from my windows 7 machine. Every time I check hidden in the properties and apply, the settings don't stick the next time I open it back up. I haven't tried doing this from the unraid command line yet, but I'm thinking the issue is with windows to linux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37020 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 see if marking them hidden can prevent xbmc from seeing them. if it works, then radeon can update his plugin to save that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xnappo 1593 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 You want something like this in advancedsettings.xml <video> <excludefromscan> <regexp>-trailer</regexp> <regexp>[!-._ \\/]sample[-._ \\/]</regexp> </excludefromscan> </video> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Found the xbmc wiki page on it, thanks for pointing me in the right direction Edited November 15, 2013 by zachmo826 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
