10.11 .ignore files not working - trahajopro86 - 2025-10-24

After upgrading to 10.11, it seems like my .ignore files stopped working

I have had the same file structure for the last several versions of Jellyfin:

/Music/Artist/album

I also have a a couple folders for other files that have .ignore files so they don't get added to the library
Music/!comedy #comedy albums excluded because they are not music
Music/!pre-sort #random music files that need metadata clean up, duplicate, and other misc files

before the upgrade to 10.11 all the "!folders" were being excluded from the library, but now everything (all subfolders) from /Music are being added to the library.

This is running the official container in docker under Unraid.
Volume paths mapped directly to Unraid volume set to cache-only (running on btrfs SSD cache vol)
