Ignore or Skip Individual Files in a Directory

[kaitco]

I have a number of shows where I've manually appended the Part 2 of an episode to its Part 1. I originally did this because I used to run everything through VLC and it was helpful to have a single file that contained the full story, especially when I had a playlist on shuffle.

My media library is used by a number of different applications, so separating these conjoined files into another folder with a .ignore file is not really an option. I was curious to know if there was an option within Jellyfin that would tell the application to ignore a file, either in the metadata or elsewhere in the database.

My only solution right now is using playlists, but I'm looking for a possible solution within the structure instead.

Check out this plugin. The description only mentions directories, but I'd be curious if it also allowed you to add individual files.

This plugin is more granular than the built-in ignore function in Jellyfin.
