Ignore small files

Post by bradleytf »

Is there any option to ignore files that don't pass a size threshold? I've noticed that some files, usually 4MB or so, are being renamed and added to the library thanks to deceptive naming setup. These could be either advertisement video files or menu video files from a dvd rip.
If this feature isn't there, is there any easy way to add the ability to ignore small files?

Are you using the amc script? The default minimum size / length limits are 50 MB and 10 min respectively.

If you're using other commands you can easily ignore small files by being a bit smart with find | xargs | command, e.g. something along the lines of this: http://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic ... 96#p315004

I am using the amc script, but I'm using a local copy that is a bit out of date. Has this option always been around? Or was it added more recently?

I'll update my scripts and see if that helps.
Thanks.
