Would it be possible to build logic so that subfolders with the file ".nomedia" would be ignored

    Kodi uses a ".nomedia" file to designate a folder that is to be ignore during any scan/scrape. [http://kodi.wiki/view/Set_content_and_scan#Excluding_directories.2Ffolders]

    Can Media Companion be built to respect that same paradigm? I usually create a subfolder for SpecialFeatures, and I'd rather they not be scanned by Media Companion, but my only option right now is to add them and then remove them from the list.

    THANKS!

    Under the settings, in the common settings tab, there is a setting for adding folders to be excluded from scrape.

    Excellent, thanks for that. The settings are overwelming and very confusing...

    Acutally, that is a good idea to have in Media Companion hard-coded.
    I will add ".nomedia" as an exclude from scanning function for Media Companion.

    Next release will support excluding folders (and their sub-folders) from scanning if a file called ".nomedia" is detected.
