Music Assistant and SMB folders: skip certain subfolders possible?

Third party integrations
1

I have all my music ripped in a single SMB folder.
I would like to know if there is a way in Music Assistant to avoid scanning/scraping certain subfolders via:
a file: .nomedia
a configuration line like:…/notthisfolder1/,notthisfolder2/,thisfoder/butnotthissubfolder/.
Or a exclude.yaml file
whatever?
Documentation:

does state wants stuff more or less like Kodi. But does not act as kodi (.nomedia doesn’t work f.e.).

When using kodi and foobar I have no problem, but in MA some various artists albums and other music have created hundreds of entries of Artists and Albums empty of with one song.

Hello Calamar,

Is there any particular reason you didn’t ask in the thread for Music assistant? The people that are watching that thread are all either interested. users of, or authors of Music Assistant. They are likely your best resource.

There is also a discord server for it. Not certain if this invite link still works, but here it is.

I didn’t realize there was a centralized topic. I’ll write there.
