Is it possible to exclude certain directories when browsing or indexing? My nas contains directories like @eaDir in every folder or root. I like to exclude them from my library update and do not have them on the screen when browsing the files. Is this possible?

It looks like there is no way to do an exclude for all in one shot -this would be nice (hint hint)

Here's the code for the advancedsettings.XML...


<video>

<excludefromscan>

<regexp>@eaDir</regexp>

<regexp>@EADIR</regexp>

</excludefromscan>

<excludefromlisting>

<regexp>@eaDir</regexp>

<regexp>@EADIR</regexp>

</excludefromlisting>

</video>

<audio>

<excludefromscan>

<regexp>@eaDir</regexp>

<regexp>@EADIR</regexp>

</excludefromscan>

<excludefromlisting>

<regexp>@eaDir</regexp>

<regexp>@EADIR</regexp>

</excludefromlisting>

</audio>

I'm not an expert but I play one at work.
