Preventing Extras Being Added To Library
Extras are video files the same way the main feature movie is a video file. This may cause Kodi to see your Extras as additional movies. To prevent each Extras video file being scraped as a movie, and adding random or duplicated movies into your library, you must tell Kodi not to scrape the Extras folder.
A number of methods are available. A listing is found here Excluding folders and file types or use the Advancedsettings.xml method using the code below by simply copying and pasting the following code into your Advancedsettings.xml file. If you already have an advancedsettings.xml file, do not duplicate the <advancedsettings></advancedsettings> tags.
