Hi. I'm trying to setup a virtual folder structure.
It's mostly working except that I would like to hide some folders.
The structure looks like this

X:
--.Temp
--Breaking Bad
--Sopranos

Z:
--Modern Family

and the VirtualFolders.conf file
[
{
"name":"TV Shows",
"files":["X:\\","Z:\\"]
}
]

What I would like to do is not inlcude the folder named .Temp. I don't want to see it when i browse my media server. Is there any code or command I could add to my VirtualFolders.conf file to hide or ignore that folder?

It seems to me that you set the drive not the folders. I f you set only folders you want to share everything will be OK.

Yeah. I set the drive because they only contain folders with tv shows. Apart from the few folders I want to hide.
The alternative would be to add all the tv shows folders manually as children, but adding 30 folders seems a little much if I can just hide 2. I would also have to manually update it if I ever get a new show.

Try to use some of the methods described here https://github.com/UniversalMediaServer ... d-Security

Thanks.
That kinda works. But for the UMS.deny file it only seems accept one regexpression to block and I have 3 folders. It just seems to ignore all lines after the first one.

I was hoping the just was some easy command to add to the virtualfolder.conf file. for example

[
{
"name":"TV Shows",
"files":["X:\\","Z:\\"]
"ignore":[X:\\.Temp"]
}
]

And then it would just ignore listing that folder.

bump

There is no such functionality. I'd have to reorganize your folder structure instead, so that things you want to hide isn't inside your shared folders.

ok.
Is it possible to add a condtion to UMS so that it ignore folders that start with a ".", for example .Temp

Almost anything is possible, but somebody has to make it. UMS is open for contributions, reasonable modifications have a good chance of getting merged. Simply make a pull request with the modified code here: https://github.com/UniversalMediaServer ... ediaServer

I would love to add this feature myself. I just don't have very much experience coding. I have no idea which file I even would edit or add to.

Thanks for the replies.
