Hello and thank you for the addon and support already !
To clarify my setup a bit.
I have added this "upnp:xxxxxxx" as any other video source using the "Add Video Source" menu. This is to navigate easily to it from the standard "Video skin menu" and watch these personal CAM videos. Plus doing it this way it only expose the avi files, and not the other jpg, or mp3 files I have also there and don't want Kodi to even be aware of.
As far as I can see, no actual scanning or scraping is ever done at all of this source when I run Video Library update manually, or automatically via your addon (having unticked the "check sources before scan" obviously).
I don't know why in fact, I don't remember doing anything special for that.
Anyway I am happy with this behaviour of the scan. You're right it would be very stupid to scan/scrap it, being only personal videos
, plus hopefully these tons of avi's do not clutter my Films video Library ...
As a summary I seems to me that the scan/scrape already skip the upnp:xxxxxx source, for whatever reason (and it is ok!).
But the "preliminary check sources before scan" of the addon returns false when checking it and this is enough not to trigger the scan of the other valid sources.
Maybe there is another way to do what I wanted at the beginning. E.g create a kind of shortcut or favorite to this upnp: address, filtering only videos, without adding it as an official video source ?
I looked at adding it as a file source from the File Manager but then I'd see all tens of thousands files I have there not just the avi's...
In the mean time I will explore a bit the "set content" options you recommended to see if it can help. But my problem is probably not to exclude it from the scan as it seems already done automatically or by chance, so not so sure...
