Config option to exclude whole libraries [Feature Request]

Open jhein05 opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The component displays new items from all libraries of type movies or tv shows, but it would be nice, if you could exclude libraries that contain media, that you don't want to show up in Home Assistant. The "exclude_keyword" option only works on the title of media items, not on library names.

Describe the solution you'd like Add a new config option "exclude_libraries": Allows you to specify a list of library names to be exclude from the sensor if in the title of the library

Describe alternatives you've considered The alternative I am actually using, is to put a keyword into the title of the media items you don't want to show up and then use the "exclude_keywords" option to hide them.

+1 for this. Having Libraries defined in Plex as "other videos" showing up for movies. Would love to exclude by library, or even video type.

Did anyone solve this? I tried using exclude_keywords: "library name" but that didn't work. Is there any other way to do it?

Unfortunately "exclude_keywords" only works for keywords in individual items, not for a whole library. That's why I created this feature request.

This was added in the more recent versions of this integration.
