The rules are simple: comment on this topic with the single feature you are missing the most in Serviio currently.

The competition will run until October 24th 1:00 PM BST and the winner will be picked randomly from all the commenters. Make sure you only add single comment, users with multiple entries in this topic will be removed from the competition. Also only apply if you live in the EU (sorry about this).

This competition is sponsored by the very cool people at Sony Europe.

Hey zip! Thanks for opportunity! Ask for a feature + chance of a prize it's a win-win situation ;)

I would love to have implemented a "sort by" feature in each folder, or if not possible several subfolders (each of them sorted by a field).
I'm mainly looking for a "sort by creation date DESC" feature, in order to see file list starting from last created file to first one (all files not just 10 like in "Last Added"), but i believe that if you could select from various fields (date, name, size, type...) will be amazing ;)

Thank you so much for your work,
Nicola

Parental control for specific folders

  • Mark in library some folder that it should use parental control
  • Set some 4 digit PIN in settings.
  • When connecting to the server from TV you will see folder called "Parental Control" which initially shows only "PIN" folder
  • This "PIN" folder will contain subfolders named 0,1,2,3,4,5...9
  • Each sub folder will have another 10 subfolders and the whole tree is 4 levels deep
  • Only if you choose correct folder(PIN) combination protected folders apeear in "Parental Control" folder
  • You must enter the PIN every time TV closes the connection (turn off TV, switch in TV menu from DLNA to other input source),
    eventually there is another subfolder in "PIN" called "Invalidate"

This feature is based on assumption that there is something like session in DLNA.

Better visability of what the server is doing. For example when refreshing media or adding folders, it is impossible to tell how far is is through the process.

Automatic extraction/conversion of subtitles. Would be nice to be able to play subtitled mkv files without having to rip/convert subs to srt.

Ability to create playlists that are seen as folder frome the DLNA player. So we could be able to create virtual folders.
