Hi all,
Since changing to an AFP based network storage which also exports as CIFS/SMB for XBMC I've come into problems where my media is doubling up when scanning and being added. This is due to the creation of .AppleDouble folders which houses a file named the exact same for every video I upload from my Mac.
Is there a way to tell XBMC to ignore all files starting with a . when importing into media mode?
I've looked and I can't see anything...
Additionally, I've used the following command to remove these files:
$ find /sata-front/ -type d -name '.*' -print0 | xargs -0 rm -r -f
The problem is that any newly uploaded files then creates these AppleDouble files and it all starts again.
Is there a way to remove some of the double ups which have appeared in my media mode without erasing the whole media mode library and re-scanning? This takes quite some time as it then has to download all the covert/art/info again.
Thanks and apologies for the long post, just thought I'd try provide as much information to save people asking.
