Without changing the name of the file to remove it starting with the “.” is there any way to get Plex to read into these locations and files on a Linux based OS?
Have a number of cases where the title of the album starts with … ( I.E. Sister Hazel - …Somewhere More Familiar) that Plex scanner will not pick up. I assume it is because on the Linux OS that the . is indicating that it is to be hidden. My structure is Artist/Album Title/Songs .
Thanks!
This may have to do with the fact that files starting with ‘.’ in Linux are hidden files.
All file name beginning with ., due to linux rules, are expressly ignored else an infinite loop would form with ./ and ../
Keep those dots in the embedded meta data of your files.
But remove them from the folder and file names.
This is working just fine.
