hi vbat99, sorry to bother you but how exactly this .nomedia work? i create a folder "the matrix" inside that folder i create another folder and called "extras" and ad a text file inside that folder and name .nomedia, but MC3 still scan that folder, what is that im doing wrong?

thanks

Just tested the latest release, MC 3.689b, by doing the same as you mentioned above.
In Root Movie folder created folder called "The Matrix"
Withing this created text file called "The Matrix (1999).mkv" - dummy file
Then created new folder in The Matrix folder called "extras"
Inside the extras folder, I created "The Matrix Reloaded.mkv" - dummy file.
I also created the .nomedia file as suggest on Kodi Wiki, to fool windows you need to rename the file .nomedia. full stop in front of and after nomedia.
Set Content and Scan - Excluding directories/folders
Ran Media Companion, and it only scraped "The Matrix (1999).mkv" file, no other movies found.  

this is really strange because im doing exactly what you doing but in my case MC scan the matrix reload, are you excluding the extras folder from common settings?
