Shared USB HDD with videos - gabmartini - 05-20-2018
Hi to everyone!
This is a simple question (sorry if it's repeated): I have a USB HDD that shares music (mostly flacs), videos and epub files, everything in different subfolders. How can I do to avoid the "unknown" item in the library (that scans the rest of content the hdd). Is there a way to specify where the "music" library is located?
Thanks in advance!

simply specify only folder with music content on your NAS and not whole disk
Example
192.168.x.x/NAS/music

Hi! Thanks for the reply.
I can't. I haven't specified any NAS source, it's taking the HDD as a USB and scan it completely.

Sorry, but I don't understand. Why you can not do it???
You can specify what ever path you like

@gabmartini
From the mpd docs (https://www.musicpd.org/doc/user/music_directory_and_database.html)
Quote:To exclude a file from the update, create a file called .mpdignore in its parent directory. Each line of that file may contain a list of shell wildcards. Matching files in the current directory and all subdirectories are excluded.
Tedious but doable.

That did the trick! Thanks @TheOldPresbyope
Just do:
Quote:echo "*" > </path/to/directory/to/be/ignored/>.mpdignore
Source
Thanks to all!
