Any way to exclude a Library folder from MinimServer

[mightyoakbob]

I have some hi-res flac files in my library. Unfortunately, we also have a couple of sonos speakers on our system which cannot play hi-res. So we a folder with 44K1 16bit copies of the hi-res music. I would like to exclude that folder from MinimServer. Any chance?

Thanks.

Bob.

You can do this with the excludePattern property (see this section).

Hello! I am sorry, but I do not understand the exclusion settings.
Tried anything mentioned in the description - it has not excluded anything on MinimServer 2.2 update 240 on LinuxMint

I would appreciate a copy&paste solution for the the simple exclusion of anything in this folder:

/media/JukeBox/00000_NEXTCLOUD_00000/Share/

i have tried:
/media/JukeBox/00000_NEXTCLOUD_00000/Share/*.* -> did not exclude
/media/JukeBox/00000_NEXTCLOUD_00000/Share/*.mp3 -> did not exclude
/media/JukeBox/00000_NEXTCLOUD_00000/Share/*.flac -> did not exclude.

but when i searched in the logfile i could not find anything matching "0000_NEXTCLOUD_00000/". ??? So it actually did not scan as I intended ????
But the content of this "share"- folder is in the library.

Tell me the secret please!

ThankU!

I believe the logic is based on file or folder matching.

Are you trying to exclude everything under "/media/JukeBox/00000_NEXTCLOUD_00000"? If so just "00000_NEXTCLOUD_00000" should work.

I'm not aware of a way to specify a multilevel path.

As simbun has said, matching is for one level in the hierarchy (file or folder). This one-level match can include wildcards (*).

Thank u both for your quick and nice response.

I do not understand anything.

BUT the hint simply to use 00000_Nextcloud.... instead of "00000_Nextcl..." or as I formerly tried with wildcarts *.mp3

Brought the result.

Thanks a lot.
