Serviio

So I have Serviio running serving my library or audio and video files.

On Linux, I have put this under
/mediastore/Videos
/mediastore/Music

With symlink folders under
/Music
/Videos

These two folders I declare to serviio. Under the /Videos folder I have my movies organized by personal category for viewing in teh players... ie something like this



etc. In both my Sony and LG players, when I choose Video from the serviio DLNA server, it will first show the "Videos" folder and then I need to drive into this to get my list of "topics". I realize I could mount individually the "James Bond", "Animation" etc. folders, but thought I'd ask if there was any thought to allow the hiding of the root folder when providing the "directory of videos" (note this is different than the "empty folders issues mentioned below").

Isn't good, if you share the /mediastore/Videos folder instead of /mediastore/?

You are able to make any category "transparent" on the presentation tab, in the console.

You have to choose "content only" visibility option for video and video/folders.

It'll stii show the root folder name. There is no way around it.

Thanks zip. That is what I figured.

Mauvika - I think you misunderstood. I have a symlink at /Videos and /Music and this is what I am exposing through serviio's configuration. So as an end user I am first contronted in the BD players with Audio or Video (which is what I want) but if you choose Video you get the "Folders/Title" etc. classification (which is good) but if you pick "Folders" the first thing you see is "Videos".

So to get to my root folder I need to click three times (instead of two).

I think the way around this is to mount the folder under Videos as mount points in serviio, which I will likely do as they shouldn't exceed 20 and I am the one created them so I can update them on the server (I may just be able to script it to update the config as well with a nightly cron job or something)
