I'm in a process of moving away from MS windows to Linux. Always used shortcuts pointing to my mediafolders placed in another windows folder and then just had LMS pointed to that shortcut folder for my LMS library setup. So in that way avoiding the whole HDD being scanned.
Now on a linux LMS I can't figure out how to use neither the "Ignore files and folders" plug-in or the "ignoreDirRE" line in server.prefs file. First I installed the plugin but I don't understand the explanation for it. Then i googled a bit and found some posts about putting "ignoreDirRE" line in the server.prefs file but I didn't manage to get it right there. For example I've a folder named "Y = OK" which I didn't want to be scanned. So I put a line like this : "ignoreDirRE: /Y = OK" but it resulted in a whole bunch of other folders also "disappearing" from library named in a similar way, e.g; H = OK, G = OK e.t.c which was not my purpose. I only wanted the "Y = OK" folder not being scanned! Then I tried some other combinations of the "ignoreDirRE: /Y = OK" theme but sadly all failing from what I want. Then gave up since I couldn't figure out the logic behind it. I actually managed to reset the whole LMS install with my sad attempts :-/ Anyone who could point me in the right direction? I would be happy using any of the two mentioned options as long as it works. What would "-Define a regular expression to match file and folder names you don't want to be scanned or visible when browsing your music folder.-" from the "Ignore files and folders" plug-in explanation look like if I for example would like to avoid a folder named like say "MP3" or earlier mentioned "Y = OK"? What really puzzles me is when using the line "ignoreDirRE: /Y = OK" ALL folders named similar (with only the letter being different) vanish from being scanned but whlie using "ignoreDirRE: /MP3" _absolutely_nothing_happens!__What am I missing here folks?** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ doggod's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=46431 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112642 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
