Plex stopped respecting .plexignore

Investigation / discussion with Engineering reveals:

  1. The photo scanner was rewritten.
  2. It was working as of
./Release-Notes/1.9.3.en.txt:- (Scanner) Some plexignore rules were not being applied for photo libraries (#5866)
  1. Change / enhancement request has been submitted to request adjusting the priority of this work. Be advised however. ignoring specific photos in a photo libary is not the intent of the .plexignore
  2. Best practice for all media is to only put those files you want scanned in the directories.
