Hide main folder from navigation

I am using Serviio 1.3.1 on Win7 with Samsung F6750 TV (latest firmware 1114).

For video content I am only sharing one folder called Video. Inside are all video files because this is easy - when you have a new video you just add content to the folder, and Serviio will automatically scan and import changes to library.

On a TV I select Source "Serviio", then "Video content" and then I see all folders in Serviio maching this type - so my folder "Video" - and then content folders.

For occasions where someone is sharing a single folder for one media type it would be useful to skip folder "Video" and go directly to content. Less clicking and less confusion.

I didn't find any such property in the console, nor did I find anything like this written on the forum. Is this included in a standard package or should this be marked as a feature request?

Go to Presentation settings in the console and use the Only show contents option for the required categories.

Thanks for the answer, but this doesn't work.

If have this issue for example with Audio, and in console in presentation I have Audio and Folders both set to "Display content only" (all other opions like Albums, Artists, ... are set to "Disabled").
On my TV I still have to select source - Serviio, then type - Audio, then main folder - Audio, then I can see subfolders with music files.
The underlined step is not needed.

This normally works, if you use the Samsung profile. Not sure if it still works on the F series, but didn't get any such a report so far.
