Full Version: excludefromscan not working for series library

Hello!

I like to exclude files containing "-backup" from the library. Here is the video section of my advancedsettings.xml:
Code:
<video>
<excludefromscan>
<regexp>Bonus\ \-\ </regexp>
<regexp>\-backup\.</regexp>
</excludefromscan>
</video>
This works well for movies, but not at all for series files. Does anyone know what's wrong?
It doesn't seem to be a common problem, so I guess it is misconfiguration.
Is there a special section for series? (haven't read about)
I probably don't have to escape blanks and dashes, but normally that doesn't hurt in regular expressions.
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
Yes, configured incorrectly.

Thanks! That's it - solved!
I've overlooked that excludetvshowsfromscan is not excludefromscan.
Thread marked solved.
