Feature request: exclude folder on import (1 Viewer)

[scythe000]

I have tv shows and movies in separate folders on my NAS, I'd love it if we could exclude my 'movies' folder on import.

If it's a separate folder, why not just have it include only the TV folder?

Spragleknas: MediaPortal is in feature freeze. The feature request is for myTVSeries which is a plugin.

scythe000: i agree with GazpachoKing, i dont see the difficulty especially because the importer for tvseries and movies are separated. They dont need to point to the same folder

Auch ... my bad. Did not notice where the thread was posted :sorry:

I worded it poorly:

NAS Drive: 'movies' folder, plus a bunch of folders with tv series all in the root. I have the root set for videos, but it also scans the movies folder. It would be nice to exclude subfolders with dvd-extras or something, as well.

could you give an example of dir tree?

 

[scythe000]

Sure:
ROOT
Show 1 Show 2 Show 3 Show 4 Movies
Season1, 2 Season1 Season 2 Movie 1 Movie 2

ok so why not put ROOT/Movies in the movies importer, and ROOT/show1 + ROOT/Show2 + ROOT/Show3 in the myTVSeries importer?

try it this way:

ROOT\Movies\<Movie 1>
ROOT\Movies\<Movie 2>
ROOT\Movies\<Movie 3>
ROOT\Shows\<Show 1>\Season 1
ROOT\Shows\<Show 1>\Season 2
ROOT\Shows\<Show 2>\Season 1
ROOT\Shows\<Show 3>\Season 1
ROOT\Shows\<Show 4>\Season 1
ROOT\Shows\<Show 4>\Season 2
ROOT\Shows\<Show 4>\Season 3

Now you can import from ROOT\Movies and from ROOT\Shows seperatly.
