Remove @eaDir

[thry.martin1]

Could there be a function that deletes or hides the @eaDir (created I believe by an NFS share with a Synology… I have doubts about this theory because on the NAS, I don’t see them)

THANKS

if you search on this forum there are some posts on lines you can add to advancedsettings.xml that suppress these.

Video Scraping slow & hangs on Synology mounted shares

Since there is a few derivations here that might prove confusing for some here is what the entire file would look like. Note that the “append” modifier (despite what Kodi’s wiki seems to state) is not needed as excluding it does not remove defaults. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <advancedsettings> <video> <excludefromscan> <regexp>(?i)(\@eaDir)</regexp> </excludefromscan> <excludetvshowsfromscan> <regexp>(?i)(\@eaDir)</regexp> </excludetvshowsfromscan> <excludefromlist…

This change will be included as standard in OSMC’s release of Kodi v21.

Hello SAM
nope,
osmc is up to date and I still see these @eaDir! even after reboot.
Does this prevent new ones and those that are present have to be removed manually? (it’s tiring, there are some in all seasons of all series for example!)
Or should we do something else?

thank you

Kodi v21 has not been released as a stable update yet. We are waiting for v21.1.

The change we added will both hide these folders in Kodi, as well as keep them from being scanned during library updates. No changes are need by the end user.

OK, thank you
