Jellyfin Ignore Plugin

This Jellyfin plugin allows you to specify filepath patterns to ignore when performing a library scan. It can for example ignore specific file extensions (like .m3u). The patterns can be specified on the plugin configuration page.

Install plugin

Go the the Jellyfin plugin page (in the admin section). Add a new repository (in the repository section).

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fdett/jellyfin-ignore/master/manifest.json

Select "Jellyfin Ignore" and install (in the Catalog section). Go to the plugin configuration page and add patterns to ignore on library scans.

Manually update the sourceUrl in the manifest to ensure we can download the zip file in its raw format (this should be updated eventually).

• The image/logo is not included in the plugin archive but as a link in the meta.json and in the manifest.json files. The image is hosted in this repository.
• Make sure the build instructions (.vscode files) are still valid
