How do I keep ogg audio files out of my Miro video library?
How do I keep Miro from listing all my .ogg audio files in the library as though they were videos? I have hundreds of .ogg music files I'd prefer not to sort through in the Miro video library.
I’m confused

Inappropriate?You can click "remove" and remove them from your library. This should work, as long as they weren't downloaded from a feed, you *should* get prompted to remove the listing or delete. Try it on something that you're not super attached to first.

Inappropriate?I wish I had found this before "removing" several hundred mp3s from my Miro library. I clicked "remove" next to the mp3s expecting them to be "removed" from my Miro library. Miro deleted them from my HD and they are not in the trash folder. There was no confirmation that the files would be removed from my HD and I have now lost a bunch of mp3s. :( :( :( This is terrible behaviour.
Is there any way for Miro to not index my mp3 collection? Right now i have 15000 items in my "new" folder.
I’m sad

Inappropriate?So I'm a little confused as to what happened. Miro shouldn't have indexed your mp3 files if you did a search on startup. If you did a watched folder, it would have found your mp3 files, but as Dean said above, should have prompted prior to removal.
Can you give some more info on the version you are using, the steps you took to get the mp3 files in your library, os, log files? -
Inappropriate?Hi JED, I'm using Miro version 2.0.3 on linux. As far as I know didn't do anything to import the mp3s. I previously had one watched folder which contained only video content but Miro has index all of the audio and video content on my computer, most of it outside of that folder. I have sinced removed the one watched folder (the watched folders section is now empty) but all of the content is still indexed. As far as I can see it is only listed in the "New" section.
One point is that the all of the external content has todays date next to it, could that mean that it is being reindexed everytime I open Miro? Miro also takes around a minute to load after I launch it which makes me think this is happening.
There was definitely no prompt prior to removal. -
Inappropriate?By default, Miro does not indexes nor displays other folders than ~/Movies/Miro at least that's what it does on Linux.
Easiest way to not include any folder / files would be to edit your Miro's options to look only for a Miro folder, then move (or better, symlink) only folders / files you want it to see into this folder.
I don't see the point to put thousands audio files into Miro's folder (or tell Miro to deal with a big audio folder).
BTW i feel sorry for your loss :-( -
Inappropriate?I tried adding a new watch folder which contains only one file. It is the only folder in the watched folders preference. Although it did successfully start watching that folder, all of the audio and video files on the rest of my computer are still being indexed. Incidentally, the file that I put in the test folder is indexed twice by miro.

Inappropriate?OK - I think I may know half of what happened, Your audio files have a .ogg extension? Up until about 2 weeks ago, .ogg files were considered video, not audio. We have corrected this, for the next release.
So on startup, when you searched for files, the .ogg files were found b/c we assumed they were video. The search ignores audio files.
We still should never outright remove any files found on startup like that, so I'm going to try to reproduce it.
In the meantime, we are working to get 2.5 release which will reorganize the Library into Audio and Video sections. This should make things better from the organizational view. -
Inappropriate?Most of the files were mp3s so I guess that wasn't the problem.
BTW, I have actually resolved the problem accidentally in the mean time. I added a file via the "Open" menu and after adding it, all of the additional content suddenly disappeared from my library. I've since restarted Miro several times and the mp3s are longer being re-indexed.
