How to find file on disk - through the media library?

Hello,
I have a wierd problem, I have a couple of folders taht have general films that we watch -
somehow I've found a 'totally inappropriate' video in Serviio's library... It's wierd as I take special care not to mix such files.

In any case, I'm trying to find and remove the original file on my drive but with no sucess - probably because the name shown in Serviio and the media library on the computer is different to the actual file name...

I wasn't able to find the original file via the media browser - perhaps theer's anotehr way or admin mode?

Many thanks!

Which category is the inappropriate file found in (eg is it under Movies, Titles, or is it under the Folders category when viewed in MediaBrowser or on your TV)?
If you play the file, does it play the inappropriate material (or does it play something else)?

Thanks mate,
I thought it appeared under movies and sinec eiit had along and detailewd name (taht arenb't in teh actual fuile name and I coudn't find anything simply searching for those words) I suspect that maybe Serviio downlaoded the meta data for the file?

In any case, the movie category is now empty and I can only browse by titles... I wasn't able to find that file again, but then I'm not entirely sure about the name (didn't write it down...;-)

Is there a way to completley reset the media library?

Thanks,

Firstly check your Presentation settings in Serviio Console and ensure the Movie and Title categories are enabled.

You can delete your library (everything in the Serviio\Library Folder). This will delete your library and your settings.
