Hi.

I am debating whether this represents a bug or not?

I have a separate folder for each movie as recommended. I have exported (multiple files) the library back to the NAS and exported actor thumbs. So the NAS now has for each movie...

moviename
|
|------- .actors
| |----- actor1.tbn
| |----- actor2.tbn
|
|------- movie.avi
|------- movie.nfo
|------- movie.tbn
|------- movie-fanart.jpg

When the scraper scans this structure, it attempts a lookup of the .actors folder (which fails). However - it does this on every library update... this is a loooong process.

NOTE - I have both "scan recursively" and "folder name contains movie name" options selected - but I don't think this should be an issue since the UI allows both options to be selected?

At the moment, I have deleted the .actors subfolders throughout the NAS share - but shouldn't .actors be excluded from the update?

Thanks, J.

it should.

Oh. Errrmmm... I don't think it is though

Unless I'm talking poo - however, the update library function is taking a huge amount of time to complete with the progressbar just flickering.

Since this may be an issue - I'll stop talking abstract and get a debug log from the installation tonight and upload it to pastebin.

Thanks Spiff.

should as in it should, not should as in it does

try adding <expression>.actors</expression> as a excludefromscan one and see if it helps.

Ah! With you!

try adding <expression>.actors</expression> as a excludefromscan one and see if it helps.

Now, why didn't *I* think of that, d'oh.

OK - I'll give it a go. Thanks.

I have added these lines

Code:

<video>
        <excludefromscan>
            <expression>.actors</expression>
            <expression>tmp</expression>
        </excludefromscan>
    </video>

but I get the error

Code:
