pyTivo Discussion Forum

My NAS (Unix - Synology) creates sub directories in my Photos and Music folders automatically. It does it to store thumbnails and metadata for other apps on the NAS that use Photos and Music. Problem is these aub directories (all named @eaDir) show up on the Tivo when browsing through pyTivo. Is there a way Dirs with a certain prefix can be set not to display in pyTivo? In my case I dont want pyTivo to show any Dirs starting with the prefix '@'.

If they would've used the standard Unix convention for "hidden" file and directory names -- starting them with a "." -- then you'd already be covered. If you want to hack it, look for this line:

Check on telling my NAS builder they are idiots, there is a long line of people on their forum telling them they are idiots. But I did take the time to remind them again. No reply as of yet.

I can find the line you mention in the py files, however, I am clueless about py. Could you tell me how I need to modify/hack this line of code?

[wmcbrine]

Just use a text editor, and change the '.' to '@'. Or, perhaps this, to cover both cases:

Great Thank You. Works perfect for photo.py and music.py but video.py doesn't fix the problem, I still see the @eaDir directory.

You didn't say you had the problem with videos. The line you need to change for that is in plugin.py.

Thank You works awesome.
