Exclude from scan - what am i doing wrong?
#1
I want to exclude all videos that have "tmp_exclude" in the file name. However, it's not currently working.

In my advancedsettings.xml i have:
Code:
<advancedsettings>
    <video>        
        <excludefromscan>
            <regexp>tmp_exclude</regexp>
        </excludefromscan>
    </video>
</advancedsettings>
..and in my debug log, i have a match on a test video with "tmp_exclude" in the file name. Why is it matching and how can i change it to prevent this?
Code:
10:59:17 T:3140 M:4294967295   DEBUG: VideoInfoScanner: Found episode match smb://onyx/data/compressed/tv shows/fetch.with.ruff.ruffman/season.4/fetch.with.ruff.ruffman.s04e05.ruffs.just.fueling.around1-tmp_exclude.mkv (s4e5) [[Ss]([0-9]+)[][._-]*[Ee]([0-9]+)([^\\/]*)$]

From the debug log, I can see that the contents of advancedsettings.xml is being successfully read, so that is not the problem.

That looks correct. Does the debug log file show that it is even reading the advancedsettings.xml file?

Yes. the Debug log shows it is reading the advancedsettings.xml successfully.


EDIT: Found the problem. I missed that you need
<excludetvshowsfromscan>
for TV Shows!

pornographic content, private video collections, or other restrictions as per user preference.
Use mythicalLibrarian to make a library out of your MythTV files. Leave the recording to MythTV and use XBMC as your library.

For me, it's needed as part of a long and complicated PVR integration program I'm writing.
For others, maybe to exclude low-quality videos that are only intented to be viewed on mobile devices.

There are many possibilities really.
