Stop system files showing as TV shows - BaffledBadger - 2025-05-27
Just moving over to JF form the 'other one' and have just one questions:
I'm running Sonarr etc on DietPi (Debian based OS). My TV Show section on the client JF client app is showing a number of system files as TV Shows (log files and the like). How can I get JF to ignore these files/folders?
I have zero knowledge of debian commands etc, so will need a foolproof set of instructions
I found this discussion but got lost at the github page - something I also have zero knowledge about. However the 1 answer to the OP's question referenced a 'built-in ignore function'. But I can't seem to find that anywhere 🤷
I've read about creating a folder called .ignore and placing the offending UpdateLogs, backups, Invisible Sentry, Mediacover files/folders in there... but not sure if that will mess anything up with Sonarr (appreciate that might be more of a question for a Sonarr forum).
Many thanks
PS I don't have a similar problem with the Film library (that comes via Sonarr)
