Album artwork impacted by .AppleDouble sub folders on NAS

[wriezebos]

It would be nice to have an option to simply ignore .AppleDouble folders while scanning though.

You can create an .mpdignore file in the root of your music share containing a list of names and wildcards that mpd needs to ignore e.g.

Code:

echo .AppleDouble >> /path/to/music/.mpdignore

An empty .mpdignore file causes mpd to ignore everything in the location of the file and under.

Aha! That is very helpful; thanks for that. From this I get that the thmcache.php routines will now not encounter the problematic files (I indeed see the code listing the folders through mpd, so that makes sense yes); which in turn avoids the problem.

Maybe a feature request for the backlog though: for the less technical music lovers amongst us it would be helpful to maybe build this behaviour into thmcache.php somehow?


Anyways, thanks for your help Vinnn!
