What actually is a .ignore file?

[theguymadmax]

Ensure that extensions are visible if you are using Windows, and there isn't a .txt at the end of the file. Having an .ignore file will cause Jellyfin skip whatever folder you have it in. In the example below, only Movies 1 & 2 will be shown in Jellyfin. 


Movies/
├── Movie 1/
│  └── Movie 1.mkv
├── Movie 2 /
│  └── Movie 2.mkv
├── Movie 3/
│  ├── Movie 3.mkv
│  └── .ignore
