Shuffle is including tracks in Podcast folder in newest version

(1/1)

jingoro:
I had an old version, not sure which to be honest, of Rockbox on my Sansa Clip+ and I never had a problem of my Podcasts coming up when I'd Shuffle.  When I'd go to Database, Tracks, and then I'd pick a track with Shuffle turned on I would only get music tracks, but with the current version I just updated yesterday the tracks in my Podcast folder are now included in the Shuffle.   Is there any way to fix this problem?  it's the only problem i have with it. 

Lear:
You could add a database.ignore file in the podcast folder(s). That would prevent podcasts from showing up in the database at all though, which might not be what you want.

jingoro:
well, i never look up my podcasts through  database.  i go to the podcast folder, so yeah i guess i do want that.  that would fix the problem.  how do i do that?  just add what you typed into the database folder?

cereal_killer:
Hello jingoro

you can create the "database.ignore" file by using a text editor. save a blank text file and rename that file to "database.ignore". make sure that you are not hiding file extensions if you are using windows, because "ignore" must be the extension and "database.ignore.txt" won't work.

Place that file in every folder you want to exclude from the database. See also: http://download.rockbox.org/daily/manual/rockbox-sansaclipplus/rockbox-buildch4.html#x7-450004.2.2
