Music In Hidden Directories

Postby Klau3 » 02 Jul 2012 20:40

Problem:
It would be nice if VLC could index hidden directory files too.
Right now all I can do is to set the hidden folder as main directory, but this will prevent VLC to find higher level folders.

Use Case:
I use Ubuntu One a file sharing cloud service. All purchased music is saved (can't change it) under /sdcard/u1/.ubuntuone
https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... iles&hl=en

How it should be:
I would like to set the main directory to /sdcard and then add (with a plus button or so) certain hidden folders. This way I could get only the folders I'm interested in.


VLC rockz :geek:

Create a symbolic link or something.

The sd-card is FAT32 formatted - it is not possible to create system links :cry:
