Hi

I'm working on converting my DVD's to video files that I can host across the network. I'm using the excellent https://b3n.org/automatic-ripping-machine/ .

HEre's my problem. I'm ripping the entire DVD, all the extras too. SO I get anywhere from 3 to 20 files when I'm done ripping. I end up with a folder structure Like this .... Rocky (1978) > 00tr.mkv 002tr.mkv 003tr.mkv

Kodie scans the folder just fine and sees it as the correct movie with metadata. If I browse in videos as folder it works perfect, but in the MOVIE interface it registers all 3 videos as Rocky no matter what the name ... so in this example it sees 3 Rocky movies as opposed to 1 Rocky Movie and 2 extras. I've even tried making an extras folder but that doesnt seem to work, 3 rockys again.

ANyone have any thoughts on how to organize this stuff? It seems simple but I can't find anything specific on how to do it.

You could use the ExcludeFromScan option in the AdvancedSettings. If you move all the extras in a subfolder like "_extras" and than add "_extras" to the excluded folders, Kodi won't scan inside the _extras folder.

Code:
<video>

  <excludefromscan>

    <regexp>/_extras/</regexp>

  </excludefromscan>

</video>

I'm certainly not! And I'm sick and tired of being told that I am.

thanks ... that gives me something to try

You need this add-on here. http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Extras

The wiki page will explain how to save your files and Section 3 will explain how to prevent them from being scraped.
