- would it be possible to have a user definable "Folders to exclude" (similar to the Words To Exclude From Media Names in the Settings), so that these folders don't show up on the movie/tv items list. This could be used to filter out folders named like "extras" or "featurettes"
- would it be possible to add a search/filter text box for the movies?

what's with the blue star?
both blue starred and non-blue starred shows work fine with kodi set to scan for local content.
how to do i resolve this?

The Blue star to the left indicates a TV Show or movie that is considered to be "New" by Mediaelch. 
The program will scan the directories/files at start, and if it doesn't find an ".nfo" file that matches what it thinks is the title of the media file it will mark it as a new file and mark it with the blue star for easy identification.
This allows you to go through and find all the new stuff and scrape/scan/download whatever is missing from your catalogue of media files.
When you hit the "Save" button Mediaelch will then save the downloaded information into the folder of the media file.
Kodi is able to work with media files that do not have ".nfo" by doing an internal scan and adding the files to its own library, but will not save ".nfo" or the pictures that go with the media files into the media folders unless you ask it to specifically. IE "export library".
To get rid of the blue star you would have to do a scan/scrape/load information(down arrow button on the upper left) - and save(upper second button for individual or third button for multiple files)- of the media files that are considered new by Mediaelch.

And I dont know why but the program is crashing for me every 10 minutes or so, sometimes less sometimes more.
Edit: Every time it crashes its when I am browsing pictures to add to a show.

Came to request this, just wondering if there's any news on it? Not a big deal, just that it can produce...interesting...results (not that there's anything wrong with it).

Or alternatively, is there any way to "hide" the blue starred stuff, extras etc, that can't be scraped?

(2023-05-21, 03:51)burcs Wrote: The github request I linked to is about MediaElch, not kodi. I use .nomedia files for kodi and that works fine. After umpteen times of reloading it finally stopped scraping 8 things from the Extras folder, but is still scanning the subfolders, even though they all have .nomedia files in them, as well. Again, not really a big deal. Using 2.10 on Win 8.1.

(2023-05-31, 22:05)bugwelle Wrote: I never looked into it after having replied in that issue. I've never used `.nomedia`. Is it supported in all directory hierarchies?
