Plexignore not ignoring #snapshots

Server Version#: 1.40.2.8395

Hello,
I’m investigating issues with Plex crashing periodically, and while looking through the logs I notice a ton of these:

I am using Snapshot Replication for this folder and this seems to indicate it’s attempting to index the snapshots. I do have a .plexignore in place at the root of the folder, with the following

*#recycle/*
*#snapshot/*
*recycle/*
*snapshot/*

As far as I can see, there is plenty of space, but either way it shouldn’t be trying to add watches to this folder.

I believe this has been working for ignoring the recycling folder. Does anyone have any clues about what might be happening here?

thanks!
Jason

There is an open issue about this with Engineering.
From what I can tell, it’s scheduled for this coming cycle to fix.
