I'm using the "Extras" add-on, and it works great, however, whenever I need to scrape my library, whenever Kodi sees any of my hundreds of movie sub-folders titled, "Extras", Kodi keeps identifying those sub-folders as a movie titled, "Extras", and wrongly adds it, cluttering up the movie library with that title. This forces me to remove all the movies it wrongly identified as "Extras", which can be a long task when you have over 2,000 titles in your movie library. I was wondering if there's any way to tell Kodi not to scrape for any movie titled "Extras", so it won't create this problem the next time I need to scrape my library. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Add this code to an advancedsettings.xml in a video column:

Code:
<excludefromscan>

            <regexp>[-\._ ](extrafanart|trailer|extrathumbs)[-\._ ]</regexp>

        </excludefromscan>

        <excludefromlisting>

            <regexp>[-._ \\/](extrafanart|trailer|extrathumbs)[-._ \\/]</regexp>

        </excludefromlisting>

        <excludefromscan action="append">

            <regexp>/extras/</regexp>

            <regexp>[\\/]extras[\\/]</regexp>

        </excludefromscan>

        <excludetvshowsfromscan action="append">

            <regexp>[\\/](auxdata|backup|clipinf|playlist|stream|certificate)[\\/]</regexp>

            <regexp>movieobject\.bdmv</regexp>

            <regexp>/extras/</regexp>

            <regexp>[\\/]extras[\\/]</regexp>

        </excludetvshowsfromscan>

Here is an example of mine:

    <try10bitoutput>true</try10bitoutput>

    <nvidia12bits>true</nvidia12bits>

    <splash>false</splash>

    <tvshowmatching action="append">

    <regexp>[\\/\._ \[\(-]([0-9]+)x([0-9]+)([^\\/]*)(?Sad?:[\\/]bdmv)?[\\/]index\.bdmv)$</regexp>

    </tvshowmatching>

    <video>

        <dxvaallowhqscaling>true</dxvaallowhqscaling>

        <maxtempo>2.0</maxtempo>

        <excludefromscan>

            <regexp>[-\._ ](extrafanart|trailer|extrathumbs)[-\._ ]</regexp>

        </excludefromscan>

        <excludefromlisting>

            <regexp>[-._ \\/](extrafanart|trailer|extrathumbs)[-._ \\/]</regexp>

        </excludefromlisting>

        <excludefromscan action="append">

            <regexp>/extras/</regexp>

            <regexp>[\\/]extras[\\/]</regexp>

        </excludefromscan>

        <excludetvshowsfromscan action="append">

It seems that you're experiencing an issue with Kodi identifying your movie sub-folders titled "Extras" as a movie and cluttering up your movie library. One possible solution could be to create a new folder, say "Additional Content" or "Bonus Material," and move all your "Extras" sub-folders into it. You could then tell Kodi not to scrape this folder, thereby avoiding any future issues with incorrectly identifying them as movies.
To do this, navigate to the "Settings" menu in Kodi, select "Media Settings," then "Library," and finally "Exclude Folders." Here, you can add the path to your "Additional Content" or "Bonus Material" folder and instruct Kodi to skip scraping it during library updates.
I hope this helps resolve the issue and prevents future cluttering of your movie library. Let me know if you have any further queries.
