Use the "files" dialog to navigate to the folder and press the right arrow a bit longer. This brings up the context menu, there select "Playlist" and follow the menu to your liking.

However I can't remember what file or location, which isn't a lot of help to anyone.

Just create an empty file "database.ignore" in the folder you want to be ignored

Hi,

There's now a wiki page for rockbox:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Rockbox

Hopefully this will help to combine all the infos from this thread

Cheers,

Thomas... but it seems that the program scans the whole system... root included... :/
So i think that there are really too much directories in which put the file..
A reverse procedure could be the best solution.. :/ (A file that indicate the program if the directory has to be seen, not to be ignored..)
Or maybe, for not leaving files around the directories of the whole n900, could be great adding the "watched" directories in a simple text file, with a patch to a directory for every string.
No way to do something?

If this was bash i could help you :/

I had the same issue so I did as thomas said. I created a datbase.ignore file in root (just open notepad and save an empty file with that name) and a database.unignore file on my music folder. Hope that helps

/me wonders how those commands end up on the n900. Maybe on dbus?

Yes, it's dbus.

I've got a couple of devices, I can do dbus-monitor dumps if you like. There's skip forward/ back, pause and stop, afaik volume controls the local device.

There's some dumps here in the meantime;

Thanks this works great, does it impact on any other application? i.e is the database.ignore file a generic one used by other apps for example the stock media player or is this specific to Rockbox?

This is rockbox specific and should not affect the stock media player.

btw: I'll test the new bluetooth headset support today, let's see how that works out...

Bookmarking doesn´t work. can i fix it manually or do i have to wait for the next update. Bookmarking is one of the most important features of rockbox for me.

thank you very much guys
