I have my tvshow in this following structure :

Code:

-West Serial
--A-E
---Almost human
---Alcatraz
.
.
--F-J
---Falling Skies
---Fear the Walking Dead
.
,
etc

Whenever i Scan i always get non existing serials because of that parent name, such as

"Extreme A&E" from A-E

So i exclude A-E using regex in advancedsettings..

Code:

<video>
  <excludetvshowsfromscan>
<regexp>[!-._ \\/]A-E[-._ \\/]</regexp>
</excludetvshowsfromscan>
</video>

problem is now any new items under that path is not scanned, the log says it's because the full path matches the regex rule..

Is there a workaround for this?
Changing parent name is kinda short term solution because one day there might be a tvshow with similar names..

I've thought about changing sources.xml, but then the alphabet is flatted and makes the navigation harder..

Scan the A-E folder first, then exclude it from updates using the set content window. Other than that, I haven't figured out a good way to do something like that, where a sub-folder creates a false positive.

EDIT: alternatively, throw something in the folder name to really confuse the scraper. Maybe some unicode character like the smiling poop emoji:

Code:

→ A-E

EDIT EDIT: the forum does not like smiling poop emoji. OSes might not like it either. Maybe something else? Just a thought.

Hmm changing the parent name means I have to re-scrap the whole library for that path right? or is there another way to do it without rescraping again?

Not that I know of. At least not easily.

Tried this.. seems to work

Just gonna post it here, Hope it helps others with the same problem

But it's not the most ideal solution IMO because one day there might be a library item with the similar name...
