Serverversion 1.15.1.710 on QNAP ignores my .plexignore

Plex Media Server Plex Pass Betas

After updating from 1.15.0.659 to 1.15.1.710 I’ve noticed that Plex ignores my .plexignore files.
Have I missed sth and they are not supported anymore or is that a glitch?

My Win10 server is seeing them fine.

I have been frustrated by issues in the past, and I usually find its my error :o

Show us how you have it written. 99/100 of the time there is an ambiguity or over-restriction of the regex which causes it to behave counter to what you expected.

This is what I use, as I have my raw files residing in the same folder as the jpgs:
*.cr2
*.x3f
*.raf
*.arw
*.X3F
*.RAF
*.ARW
*.srf
*.SRF
*.RW2
*.rw2

What puzzles me is that with Plex Server Versions <= 1.15.0.659 this works fine.

We are seeing some other things with the 1.15.0 beta.

I recommend going back to 1.14.1 and holding there until it gets all ironed out.

Install on top of the existing 1.15.0 and you will be ok.

The problem exists for me as well, continuing in to server version 1.15.1.791. My previously working .plexignore files are being ignored resulting in thousands of RAW photos being added to my photos library. (Works fine in 1.14)

7

exists also in 1.15.2.793

8

we (I) haven’t figured out where it is misbehaving yet.

If anyone can help me with examples which used to work but now don’t, please share a line or two from your .plexignore

Just did a quick test with the .793 build:
My .plexignore from above usually resides in the root directory of e.g. the “Vacations” directory.
I have copied it to the subfolders, and for some of the directories its working but not for the majority…

Hello,

As asked by @ChuckPa if this can help.
This used to work but now don’t:

# Ignore files with the extension “.cr2”
*.cr2
*.nef
*.dng

The .plexignore file is placed at the root folder of the library. I only have one folder in this library but many subfolders.
My plex server is on readynas (x86) and v1.15.2.793.

Regards,

11

Thanks.
Put it on Monday’s list.

Here are examples from my .plexignore file that used to work but now don’t:

*.cr2
*description*
*noplex*

This is in the root folder of my photos library. I also tried adding *.CR2 in case it’s suddenly case sensitive, that did not fix the issue. I tried deleting my entire photos library and rebuilding, also didn’t fix anything. I copied the same (previously working) .plexignore file into every subdirectory, it’s still not working.

13

As promised, I got time to work through this today.

I did confirm the behavior and, using *.cr2 as one example, showed the expected versus actual behavior and submitted to Engineering.

Thanks for the good examples.

Tested with new release 1.15.3.835, plexignore is still broken.

15

plexignore remains broken in version 1.15.3.858

16

The bug report / ticket is still open with Engineering. When fixed, it will be close and you will see this listed under FIXES: in the release notes.

17

Since 1.15.3.876 didn’t come with any release notes, I will satisfy everyone’s curiosity:

plexignore remains broken.
