Description

Hi,

my initial index keeps running into memory errors. Just noticed it always happens on a .m2ts file. This is several GB big and I suspect if fulltextsearch passes it to elasticsearch things go crazy. Moreover indexing videofiles in general might not be a good idea.

How can I tell the plugin or elasticsearch to ignore certain extensions, filesizes or paths?

On another note: Do I need to do anything special to have PDFs,TIFFs etc OCRed besides having tesseract installed?

Regards,
JP
