0.5 is an excellent step forward. Thanks!

Hi!

I just wanted to say thanks for the new 0.5 version of Serviio.
With the ability to disable all those useless subfolders in the library, I can now browse my shares much easier and quicker.
All those virtual folders were some bullshit for people with chaos on their harddisks and Serviio is the first DLNA server I found which can disable them.

I'm wondering about two default settings though:
Why is Serviio configured to use only one CPU/kernel, instead of all four?
And why is it set to downmix to stereo? Why would I want to do that?

I concur: Serviio is now eminently usable.

What is lacking is some documentation, or a skeleton help thingie.

Like: What do the different colours in the leftmost column on the detected devices list mean?

BUT: I am very impressed by the sheer quality of serviio: And that it actually works out of the box, doing much more than I thought it promised.

Mousing over the entry for my Sony BD player it says "Unknown", shown as orange. But it seems to be known. And it works.

The Reciva radio has been turned off for ages, but says "Active".....

It's Unknown status, because the device doesn't respond to search requests.
Click Refresh and the other one should change to Inactive.

Indeed!

What are those search requests supposed to return in the way of data??

URL to the device's description. Basically if you can seethe device in DeviceSpy, it supports it.
