Hi All,

This maybe a dumb question, but I am having a hard time figuring it out. I have a movie that has extras. I don't want the extras to be seen in my library. So when I remove them from the library they go away.

However, whenever I scan again, the movies appear again. So what I would like is to permanently delete the extras from the Library. Is there any way to do this?

I am on ATV2.

Thanks,

The simplest way would be to remove the files for the extras (i.e. extra.mkv) from the directory you are telling XBMC to look at for your movies... VOILA no more extras.

Yeah, but I still want the files.

What I figured out, in case others are reading this, is to do this:
- Create a sub folder called extras
- When adding source, make sure to shut off Scan Reclusively

In this way it does not look to that second layer. Worked fine, but if there is a better way, I am open to hear it.

You could add a specific string to each file, let's say "-Extra" (with the hyphen), something unlikely to trigger a false positive. Then in your advancedsettings.xml add something like:

Code:

<advancedsettings>
<video>
  <excludefromscan action="append">
    <regexp>-Extra</regexp>
  </excludefromscan>
</video>
</advancedsettings>

Should also work on a folder name, if you don't want to rename the files.
