Hi 2 all :-)
have a small problem using the actual release version of xbmc on ubuntu linux 11.04... but I think this is a problem with every linux system and more than one HD.
I use the standard /srv folder to store movies, music, documentaries and series... each on an own harddisk:
/srv => sda4
/srv/movies => sdb1
/srv/series => sdc1
/srv/docu => sdd1
/srv/music => sde1
Everything is woking from here... Thank you al for this great work :-) BUT, in every folder is the linux system folder "lost+found" ... I have found the "advancedsettings.xml" and have entered the following:
<video>
<excludefromlisting>
<regexp>lost+found</regexp>
</excludefromlisting>
<excludefromscan>
<regexp>lost+found</regexp>
</excludefromscan>
</video>
But this is not working :-( Does anyone know how to hide this folders?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, but I have had the surrounding <advancedsettings> tags in my settings file... but this doesen't work? Now I tried it with a more "plain" directory like "movie" and this worked... so the problem might be the regular expression, perhaps the "+" ?!?! Can anyone help?
... playing around with that... I mentioned that this exclude stays for all "profiles" after loading a different profile... But after a restart of xbmc the correct profile settings are restored from the advancedsettings.xml for the last profile... This might be a Bug in the profile loading/settings?!

Seems like something we could do by magic, please start a ticket and cc me.
Afaik that folder depend on the filesystem and not that its linux right? i.e. its an extx thing?

Yes, the folder exisists on any ext3/ext4 partition (perhaps ext2, too) to store blocks or files which are found during the file system check... like checkdisk with Windows. And yes its a Linux thing ;-)
I think this is a requirement... but actually it is possible to hide directorys with the advancedsettings.xml and <excludefromlisting>, but perhaps the problem is only the spelling of the regex and I need to mask the "+"?
Do you mean to create a bug for the second thing regarding the profiles? I think this one is really a bug... because it seams, that loading a profile does not dump all settings from the old profile, so that some are still active even though that they are NOT configured in the new profiles advancedsettings.xml...
Thanks and best regards!

@topfs2: I hope this one is OK... Ticket #11685... It was my first xbmc ticket :-)
What about the other thing with the profiles? Does anyone has an idea if this is a bug?
). I haven't used reiserfs and the other linux filesystems so wasn't sure if it existed in those too.
