.plexignore not working

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops
1

I have a sub-folder I don’t want scanned, but no matter what I put in the plexignore file, the folder gets scanned anyway. I have it down to this now:

/*

Shouldn’t that be enough to take care of all subfolders and folders within the subfolders?

Edit: I’ve also used folder exclusion strategies like naming them “Extras” but that’s not working either

Windows 10
Plex Version 4.34.4

Try using */*. I recently tested and that prevents the scanner from scanning the current directory and at least 3 sub-directories deep (I didn’t test past that).

I find this feature very useful. For several Plex libraries I have a text file “.plexignore” with the following:

#*HIDE*
#*/*HIDE*
#*/*/*HIDE*
#*/*/*/*HIDE*
*PLEXIGNORE*
*m2ts*

Thank you both. Helped!
