Re: [slim] How to make SC keep out of some folders?

[Michael Herger]

 - ?? something I may have missed ??

There's an undocumented pref without UI - thus almost forgotton by most of  
us...

if ((my $ignore = $prefs-get('ignoreDirRE') || '') ne '') {
return 0 if $item =~ /$ignore/;
}

You can define a regular expression which recognizes the folders you don't  
want to scan. If you eg. add the following to server.prefs:

ignoreDirRE: '(?:backup|brothersmusic|badstuff)'

Then folders with the above words in the name will be ignored.

Could you change the security settings on the specific album
folders/directories so the account you run SqueezeCenter under is
denied access to them ?

Not sure how SqueezeCenter rescan would react to being denied access to
a specific subfolder, I assume it would just bypass it and carry on to
the next folder/directory. 

Worth a try.

If only some albums are common to both libraries then it's not much of
a backup.

 
 Possible solutions would be:
 - erase all duplicates (not an option due to the backup requirement)

Hard disk storage is cheap these days.  Clean up the library and do
regular full backups.

Uh oh, sounds illegal to me ;)

 or a file with a specific name (e.gl .keepout) to prevent SC to scan
 the folder.

I'd like this option myself. Could also be handy if you want to keep
albums in different formats (mp3/flac) and allow SC to access only one.
