Whenever I copy a file from my mac to the XBMC pc, it creates a .filename for that file. When updating the library in XBMC, it shows the file two times (one for the actual video, and one for the ._filename file).

Is there any way to make XBMC ignore files starting with a dot? Or even better: can I stop OSX from creating this files?

google for "stop DS_Store", that will have the info.

Thanks, but i've already disabled that. What I mean are the ._filename files that are created for every single file. (As far as I know) these can't be disabled from OSX. That's way I'm hoping XBMC could ignore these files.
