Cannot see folders shared via Serviio

Hi!

Here is my setup:

VIzio Smart TV ---(wired)---ASUS N66U wireless router ===(wireless)===My Laptop w/ Serviio Server


So I have the Serviio running on my laptop with my Downloads and Videos folders shared (via the library tab on Serviio) with the video icons checked (since im trying to show videos).

However, when I go to my TV and go into the Vizio Media thingy I see the DLNA server, and can access it BUT I get 3 options to choose from
-Music
-Photos
-Videos

So I click Videos and then it brings me to a folder called Serviio\Video\Root\Video

Inside HERE there are a bunch of categories listed as folders(12+) - for example

Author
Title
Movie
Playlist

Nowhere do I see my download/Video folder or any videos from my computer..

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

You will only see videos that Serviio believes your device can play. What profile is being assigned to your TV? If it's set to generic, that might be the issue. I'm not familiar with the Vizio, so I can't make a suggestion as to which profile should be used.
