Have you only seen the changes they are including in that version or have you actually tried it? Iā€™m on 1.16.3.1402 right now and there are no new updates for me. I can only believe this if Iā€™m going to see it with my own eyes. Iā€™ve mostly given up on it by now.

I actually tried it, tested it, and confirmed it works! So far so good. After I did the install, the pictures I wanted ignored were still there - I had to click ā€œscan library filesā€ on my photo library to get the ā€˜ignoredā€™ images out of my library.
The library scan took a little while as usual, but plexignore kicked in and 24,436 pictures are no longer in my library.

Iā€™m still only seeing 1.16.3.1402 available as well. Do these updates generally go out in a rolling fashion? This issue has been bugging me for months now. Really want to get it fixed ASAP.

edit: I see now that the new version is ā€œbetaā€ still. Any ideas when this will be made available to non-plex pass users?

Just installed 1.16.4.1469 and did a scan of my pictures and plexignore was applied properly!

Iā€™m seeing another new server update, but am scared to apply it now.

Can anyone please confirm that v1.16.5.1488 does not break this function again??

Iā€™m already on Version 1.16.5.1554 and itā€™s still fine. But letā€™s not keep this thread alive with questions like this.
