Is there a way to block certain sub folders? I just set up Serviio and so far it is working great. My shared drive with videos on it also has a slew of family videos that I would like to avoid listing since they are boring as all hell and we never really want to watch them. I know I could just move them elsewhere but it's current location has some benefits. Either way, thanks for the fine software, I'll be paying for the pro version asap.

I just noticed the "Support and Help" area of the forum. Sorry. I'll let this hang here and hope for an answer before spamming things up in that forum.

You can exclude any sub folder
and it's subdirectories being added to the library by adding an empty file (empty text file should do it) called
.nomedia to the folder. Version 1.5+ required. See
https://bitbucket.org/xnejp03/serviio/i ... -directory.
