Wildcard to ignore files
Posted: Thu Sep 03, 2020 12:17 pm
Is there a way that Serviio can ignore files via the filename? Something like a special character or string at the beginning of the filename for Serviio to detect and filter out/ignore?
For example - If I have a file named movie1.mkv and movie2.mkv which are both recognized by Serviio. If I add a hashtag (#) symbol at the beginning of the filename and these become #movie1.mkv and #movie2.mkv then these can automatically be ignored (skipped) by Serviio and will not show up in the list of available files/movies?
I am aware of the feature to ignore folders and subfolders by placing an empty file named .nomedia in the folder, but this is hashtag (#) feature is a good and quick way to ignore/filter out files by the program. I have a setup where some files are organized and have to reside at the root of the shared hard drive and cannot be placed inside folders. By having to simply add a special character at the beginning of the filename like a hashtag (#) (or any other special character that you guys feel to be more appropriate) would be a quick and easy way for Serviio to ignore them from showing up.
Thank you and hoping to hear your response on this. Hoping the next update of Serviio Pro will have a feature like this.
Cheers!
