Hi to all

I've one qnap and I use it to store my media folders, so I've
Movie folder and inside it all movies
Tv Show folder and inside it all tv show, each one on a different folder

The problem begin if I need to surf through my media files with qnap filestation, because qnap make a thumb files that is like that
.@__thumb/s100nameofthemovieortvshow.samefileextension
or
.@__thumb/defaultnameofthemovieortvshow.samefileextension

as you can see qnap generate a hidden folder .@__thumb and inside it place a "dummy" file with the same extension, so for kodi is a "media" file, but isn't! And I've many duplicate video on library

So I tried to edi the advancedsettings but with no lucky

I tried to add this

Code:

<excludefromscan>
    <regexp>.@__thumb</regexp>
  </excludefromscan>
  <excludetvshowsfromscan>
    <regexp>.@__thumb</regexp>
  </excludetvshowsfromscan>
  <excludefromlisting> <!-- Regular expressions that if evaluated to true won't be displayed in Files View -->
    <regexp>.@__thumb</regexp>
  </excludefromlisting>

Any idea to make it possible

Go into Settings/Appearance/File lists (wiki) and make sure the setting for hidden files is off, so that they are not shown. Kodi should then treat anything starting with a period as an invisible file, and ignore it durning a scan.

Tnx for the reply.

I don't remember when I activated the hidden files, maybe in past I need it but ... anyway tnx for your suggestion, that works I cleaned the thumbs, I cleaned the library and tried to make a full scan with new thumbs and tadaaaaa, no duplicate files on media library.

Tnx, Jo

I have the same isue, isn't it possible to hide it in/for kodi?
I also tried this in advancedsettigs.xml but it doesn't seem to work:

Code:

<video>
    <excludefromscan action="append">
        <regexp>\.DS_Store</regexp>
        <regexp>\#recycle</regexp>
        <regexp>.@__thumb</regexp>
    </excludefromscan>
    <excludefromlisting>
        <regexp>\.DS_Store</regexp>
        <regexp>\#recycle</regexp>
        <regexp>.@__thumb</regexp>
    </excludefromlisting>
    <excludetvshowsfromscan action="append">
        <regexp>\.DS_Store</regexp>
        <regexp>\#recycle</regexp>
        <regexp>.@__thumb</regexp>
    </excludetvshowsfromscan>
</video>
