That is an option I would love to have also, for the same sort of
reasons, but I have never found MythTV to have a way of doing it.

I also have this problem. I normally use mythutil --scanvideos, and get
a lot of junk when it tries to look up music videos or test files.

Are you referring to the automatic lookup when scanning  for new videos
from mythfrontend, mythutil --scanvideos, or some other process?

The easiest way would be to adapt "tmdb3.py" to check for ".nolookup" and return an empty result.

MythTV makes a lot of suggestions on the content type: movies, series, including the way how they are organized (Season/Episode).

As for example a parent directory contains a number it is interpreted as a series.
I modified the MythTV code to interpret specific directories on the content type, or even disable scraping. (actually I am only interested in Movie scraping, for series, documentary or learning videos, I want only the directory structure and no metadata).

MythTV already has storage groups, they should be enhanced with the content type, which scraper (or disable (and it should also allow personal scrapers)), and in case of series the directory structure to retrieve Season/Episodes.
Have a look at Kodi as an example for ideas how/what to implement: https://kodi.wiki/view/Adding_video_sources, see "Set Content".

Hi Peter,

sorry for the direct email, but your email didn't have a Reply-To
header. So here it is again fot the list.

-----

I'm referring to the scan in the frontend. I guess as a workoround I
could run "mythutil --scanvideos" and fill the inetref column in the
videometadata table with zeroes if filename contains the folder afterwards.

But a better way would be to have something like .nolookup in the folder
or if it would be possible to disable metadatalookup per storagegroup.
Then I could put these videos in its own storagegroup.

AFAIK there is only one storage group for videos, i.e. "Videos".

I think that a per directory setting would make more sense. Please
create an issue (Feature Request) in MythTV at
https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/issues and I will look into
implementing it.

At present you have movies and series, how about adding a third group
say "private" with no metadata lookup to put everything else into?

Or an open ended number of configurable storage groups? With the
current two as a default start set?

Yes, of course. I meant directories added to the videos storagegroup.

I just created a feature request.
