[SOLVED] Shared USB HDD with videos

[TheOldPresbyope]

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!

From the mpd docs (https://www.musicpd.org/doc/user/music_d...abase.html)

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.
