Add Windows 7 library as a Serviio library

Hi all

Firstly - I've been using Serviio for a while now, streaming my content locally to my TV and online using MediaBrowser and I'm really impressed :)

One thing I'd like to be able to do is add a Windows 7 library (i.e. the "My Videos" library) to the Serviio library. The reason why: I have a lot of videos and they are spread across multiple HDDs. Currently, I add each to the Serviio library separately (e.g. d:\Videos and e:\Videos) which works fine. However, in order to browse them, I have to look in each directory separately, as they are listed as separate folders.

I'd like to either:

1 - add a Windows 7 library to the Serviio library. That way Serviio shows all my media in one place, much like the Windows 7 library does.

2 - Use another method (suggestions welcome!) to create the same kind of "virtual" folder in Windows 7, that I can then add to the Serviio library.

Any help very welcome.

Nick

Simplest way is to rename the folder to someone more meaningful like "Videos - Personal", "Videos - Old Movies", "Videos - Funny Collection" ect

Thanks for the reply :)

That's essentially my backup plan if I can't get my original request to work...but my videos will have to be arbitrarily split into genres and it's MUCH more convenient for me to have them all under one folder...
