Title:
  Wishlist: allow user to set file  extensions to serve

Status in “tangerine” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “tangerine” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: tangerine

  Tangerine does a very good job of serving files over daap, and is
  significantly more reliable than the more common mt-daapd. However,
  one visible difference between the two is the number of files offered
  - on my music collection Tangerine offers about 500 files more than
  mt-daapd. This is caused by Tangerine's policy of serving ALL files it
  can - so if your music folder contains any album art, then those album
  art files are offered up as invalid music files.

  My attached patch allows a user to configure an extra config line in
  their ~/.tangerine, specifying which file extensions are permitted.
  The default behaviour is to serve all files - the new behaviour
  requires specific enabling in the config file.

  The attached images show a small music collection being served as
  standard, and being served by a patched Tangerine with the following
  stanza added to ~/.tangerine:

  filetypes = .ogg,.mp3

  Multiply the effect by a few hundred albums, and the effect is
  striking.
