Hi
Is it somehow possible to add required words to the plexignore file?
There isn’t much information about the plexignore file and it doesn’t look like it works with normal regex.
Best Regards
Have you referred to this article for using the plexignore file?

Hi @shark2k
Yes, exactly. But in this article I only see a way to ignore files if a specific word is inside the path or in the filename. But what I would need is a solution to add a word and it should ignore all files not containing this word (required word).
It looks like it doesn’t work with normal regex. Otherwise, I could add a regex like the following to have a double negative which would result in a required word:
/^((?!german).)*$/gmi

No, that’s not currently possible.
Depending on the goals, options might include rearranging the filesystem, changing permissions, or (ab)using a filesystem to only present the desired files to Plex.
Depending on the directories and files, sometimes it’s possible to make a complicated .plexignore behave in that way. Typically the best choice is to adjust the filesystem.
You could also create a feature request.
