Exclude files from being added to database (samples)

[Former user]

Hi, Is it possible to add a feature : - Serviio excludes files from being added to Database. Sample files. i mean, files with the "smpl", "sample" in file name. or files stored in "sample" sub-folder of movie folder. Thanks and Cheers!

One comment: User should define the on/off state of the feature.

I thought of it again..

well. there should be this option: not to include samples in database ( decided by the user) or what is more interesting create a ghost (virtual) directory called SAMPLES and store samples there for easy access.. ( when you download a 4GB movie, it is good to download sample and check if it is played by TV via DLNA)

sounds good. Just to let you know, the fact that sample plays on the TV doesn't mean the full video will - I have an example like that (looks like the full movie is encoded on higher profile than the sample)

Thanks for the info. I haven't encountered that yet.. That's bummer.
