I have rclone serving a a single directory of movie file over HTTP (rclone serve http G:/ ... )

Kodi is running on a different system and has a media source configured as  http://192.168.0.1:8000/Movies/

When the file name contains a colon character ':', rclone writes the HTML with a ./ in as the first characters of the filename.

<a href="./Jumanji%20:%20Welcome%20to%20the%20Jungle%20%282017%29%20-%20Remux.mkv">Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle (2017) - Remux.mkv</a><br />

Filenames without a colon characters look like this, in the rclone web directory list

<a href="Jumanji%20%281995%29%20-%20Remux.mkv">Jumanji (1995) - Remux.mkv</a><br />


Kodi retrieves the list of files from the remote web server, but ignores every movie with a dot in front of the filename.  Movies without a dot are processed and imported into the library.

I have 428 out of 5688 movies in the library that contain colon character that are not being imported into the library.

What can I do to make Kodi accept these files?

I do not want to rename files with a colon characters as these file names are automatically generated from IMDB data.

Please take a look at: https://kodi.wiki/view/Settings/Media/Ge...irectories

"2.3 Show hidden files and directories"

Files with a leading dot could probably be treated as hidden.

"2.3 Show hidden files and directories"

Files with a leading dot could probably be treated as hidden.

I tried setting that option, but it didn't make any difference.

I started with a new Kodi 18.1 installation - rm -rf ~/.kodi
Then set the option to show hidden files and directories.
Added the same media source as before
The list still doesn't include those files that have a leading dot.
