Filter on files for indexing

Postby pemholder » Thu Dec 01, 2011 3:00 pm

Hi,
I would like to have a filter for files that I don't want Subsonic to include in the index.

Reason:
I include dummy MP3s in my folder structure when I have tracks of albums but not all tracks.
These MP3s are only part of a second long, are tagged, serve only as placeholders and tell me what other missing tracks belong that special album.
But with a search for a special song I naturally don't want to list songs, that I don't have.

As the tracknames in theses MP3s would be something like "Track missing - Beatles - Help" it should be possible to set a filter on a string like "Track missing" to exclude these songs.

Another point is, that Subsonic should not count these files so that there is a correct number shown in Music Index count.

I would appreciate any hint too, if someone knows how to mod the code to achieve this behaviour.

I do not what OS you are using but why don't you give the dummies a file ext. that SS will not recognise?
e.g "Track missing - Beatles - Help.dummymp3"
If you want to show those files in SS you could put them in as video files in SS (Just don't try to play them :lol: )

Due to the confusion from too many genres of music, we have decided to put both country music and rap music into the genre of Crap music.

If someone chooses to play a whole album it is necessary that these dummy files are played and don't confuse the player. Because they are less than a second long it's no problem to play them and they don't interrupt the playing-sequence for e relevant time.
I need real MP3s, because I want to tag them.
