Do not scan inside archives - Horus107 - 2016-08-30
Hello,
I have the habit of saving music I digitally bought into a zip file (or save the zip file that I downloaded). The extractet music file I normalize according to my naming scheme etc. Therefore I have stores some music twice. Kodi scans inside archives, which makes the music also appears twice in the library.
How can I disable scanning inside archives?
Thanks!

it can be controlled through an advancedsettings file.
the 'excludefromscan' option should do what you need:

another option that might work is to remove the .zip extension for music files:

Thanks!
Code:
<advancedsettings>
<musicextensions>
<remove>.zip</remove>
</musicextensions>
</advancedsettings>Works fine.
But it also seems to have an effect on removing music. That's what I did:
- Quit Kodi
- Modify (create) advancedsettings.xml
- Refresh / Cleanup library -> No effect
- Remove source -> All tracks were removed, only the ones inside the zip file not.
- Delete ~/.kodi/userdata/Database/MyVideos99.db
- Readd source, rescan, no tracks from inside zip files anymore.
Seems to work...
