Latest Emby, are .ignore. files no longer respected?

Hi all, 

Coming from a perfectly working/stable previous Emby server version, I updated this morning to the latest version. All seems fine, except, my Movie library now has a bunch of random files listed. Upon investigating, it appears they're originating from folders within my Movie library that I have .ignore. files in (in order to have Emby ignore them.) 

Unraid (latest stable), Emby (latest stable)

Ah, I must have missed the memo on that one! Cheers, I'll set about updating my ignore files!

If only someone had flagged the lack of backwards-compatibility during the beta phase and predicted that it would cause issues once it hit stable...

All sorted now, cheers. I was doing it manually, and realised I'd way more .ignore files than I thought I had. So, in end, I used the Terminal in Unraid to automate it for me.

find /mnt/user -type f -name ".ignore" -execdir sh -c 'rm -f "$1" && echo "*" > .embyignore' _ {} \;

^^ This scans all my SMB shares for any .ignore files, and replaces them with .embyignore files that contain the asterix character within. Simple and effective. A full library scan then resolved any remaining unignored files.
