Hi

Is there any way to hide certain file types by extension? I keep my music in two formats - FLAC and .m4a - in the same folder structure.

As Itunes doesnt recognise FLAC, its not a problem pointing the library at the given folder. But as XBMC sees both formats, all my music is repeated twice.

Is there an xml file somewhere I can remove support for the .m4a extension so it doesnt appear, or doesnt try and play it?

I used to use MediaPortal and extension support was a user configurable option.

Thanks

CHeck the wiki - http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Advancedsettings.xml

In particular look at http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Advancedsett...ensions.3E

<musicextensions>
<remove>.m4a</remove>
</musicextensions>

great thanks, sorry I did try searching but didnt spot it

OK ive tried creating an advancedsettings.xml file with the following text:

<source lang="xml"> <advancedsettings>
<musicextensions>
<remove>.m4a</remove>
</musicextensions>
</advancedsettings> </source>

and putting it in the userdata folder in xbmc directory as I use portable mode but it isnt working. Tried several variations with and without the first and last lines, with just the musicextensions part with source included.

Am I correct in expecting this should cause it not to display .m4a in the file view (not library mode)

I think it should just be what's below:

Code:

<advancedsettings>
<musicextensions>
  <remove>.m4a</remove>
  </musicextensions>
</advancedsettings>

thats done it!

Bit misleading with the source tag in the wiki? Maybe its just me.

Thanks again.

Where do you see that? I should have edit rights to correct it. I dont see it on the AdvancedSettings.xml page.
