Official moOde 8 support thread

@Relocated2007 The mpdignore route does work and if it isn't working for you then you have something else wrong with your installation, so I agree with @TheOldPresbyope (when does one ever do otherwise?) that you should address that problem rather than trying further modifications.

The easiest way to create a file that works is to navigate to the folder you want to exclude in the command line:

Code:

cd /path/to/folder/

Then run this command to make the file:

Code:

echo "*" > .mpdignore

The in the moOde interface, go to the Library tab and press the "Regenerate Music Library" button.  Note the instruction to stay on this screen until the spinner clears (move too soon and you will not get all the library, go drink coffee for 20 minutes to be safe).  If once the library is rebuilt you are still seeing files in the directory with the ignore file in it, please post the results of:

Code:

ls -la
cat .mpdignore

From within the folder where you made the file.
If you are doing this from the Pi, you might need to use the /mnt/ directory to be able to write to the folder rather than through the /tmp/ and it's symlink.
For eg, my exlcuded folder on my NAS is this:

Code:

pi@Orpheus:/mnt/NAS/Claudia/zzz_EXCLUDE
