I'm in the process of switching to plex and I have a problem with handeling folders with extras in it.

I try to exclude folders named "other" within the movie folders.

So I added a line in the AdvancedSettings.xml as mentioned in the Undocumented AdvancedSettings thread.

<Setting Section="*EmberAPP" Content="None" Name="NotValidDirIs" DefaultValue="">other|.actors|extrafanart|extrathumbs|video_ts|bdmv|audio_ts|recycler|subs|subtitles|.trashes</Setting>) 

But the folder keeps poping up when I re-scan the movie folder. Am I doing this wrong?

Hi Dan, any advice on this?

Works for me with

xml:
<Setting Section="*EmberAPP" Content="None" Name="NotValidDirIs" DefaultValue="">other|.actors|extrafanart|extrathumbs|video_ts|bdmv|audio_ts|recycler|subs|subtitles|.trashes</Setting>

Please check if you added the node inside the <AdvancedSettings> node like:

xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<AdvancedSettings xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

  <Setting Section="scraper.Data.IMDB" Content="Movie" Name="DoCast" DefaultValue="">True</Setting>

 (... lot of other settings)

  <Setting Section="*EmberAPP" Content="None" Name="NotValidDirIs" DefaultValue="">other|.actors|extrafanart|extrathumbs|video_ts|bdmv|audio_ts|recycler|subs|subtitles|.trashes</Setting>
