Full Version: Can't get rid of Extras no matter what I try
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Extras are being scanned and misidentified as episodes of TV shows by Kodi, so I end up getting lots of false duplicates for various shows. I've tried every method I can find for removing these but none of them work:
  • .nomedia folder in every Extras folder
  • Rename "Bonus" folders to "Extras"
  • Moved all "Extras" to top-level folder within the TV show, outside the seasons folders
  • VideoExtras add-on, selected option to update advancedsettings.xml to ignore "Extras"
  • Changed content type of "Extras" folder to "None" and selected option to exclude from folder scan

After every change I've:
  • Removed the TV show completely from the library
  • Scanned for new content
  • "Clean Library" in settings

No matter what I do, the Extras show up incorrect as Extras within my TV shows. I can't seem to get rid of them.

I'm using the latest version of Kodi on an Nvidia Shield TV, pointing at an SMB share, which is backed by a Windows Server 2012 R2 NTFS network share.

Anyone else want to suggest another method of making my extras not show up in the TV library?
