Exlude directories from indexing about auxio HOT 5 CLOSED

The feature has been finished and will be released in 1.3.2 today. Thank you for this suggestion.

This would benefit my own usage, and it seems to be a reasonable addition to the codebase. I'll implement it.

The caveat here is that it would elongate the loading times, since I would have to now load a database of the blocked directories and cross-reference them with the loaded music items. I may study how Phonograph implements the same enhancement and try to implement it in my own system efficiently.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi @OxygenCobalt, it seems that Auxio excludes the ~/Podcasts folder unconditionally, is that correct? When I rename ~/Podcasts to anything else, the files appear in Auxio, and when I rename it back they disappear. I can't find any use of the word podcasts in the source code so maybe this is a decision by the android mediaserver.

I was actually hoping to use Auxio just for my podcast files!

@voussoir I believe this is intentional. Auxio uses the IS_MUSIC=1 selector when indexing audio files so that certain audio (like ringtones) aren't indexed. By extension, anything in the Podcasts folder will not be labeled as music and Auxio excludes them. I might be able to get rid of this and replace it with a predefined set of excluded directories, but I have no idea how effective that would be.

@OxygenCobalt That makes sense, thanks! It's okay, I can just rename the folder. I didn't know android's media framework made that distinction.
