Server - Option to ignore media in scans

[Veggav 8]

Nice! I'm glad you guys got it working. 

This makes a huge difference in scanning time and API hits to google drive.

The API is very powerful .. just be careful as it can also cause a lot of damage if used incorrectly

As another example which may be useful for those looking to use the above script example - you can also list all the folder ID's as follows :-

curl -X GET "http://<emby>:8096/emby/Library/SelectableMediaFolders?api_key=<your_api_key>" -H "accept: application/json"

This is likely quicker than finding them all manually if you have lots of libraries.

edit - combine the two.. and you have the start of a Plugin where you could select the libraries you want in the external scan ..
