Excluding rar files with advancedsettings.xml - rickles - 2012-07-01
Some of my movie folders include .rar files containing subtitles. When I do a video library update, XBMC pops up little windows that seem to be scanning inside the .rar files, and they even pop up when watching a movie (my library auto updates once per hour).
So I am trying to exclude .rar files from my library scans using advancedsettings.xml. I have added this entry but it hasn't worked:
Code:
<regexp>.*\.rar</regexp>Could someone help me correct this?

From the wiki this would exclude 'crap and morecrap'.

<advancedsettings>

<excludefromscan>
<regexp>crap</regexp>
<regexp>[!-._ \\/]crap|morecrap[-._ \\/]</regexp>
</excludefromscan>

Not sure if wild cards are allowed.
