Weird issue when using my WDTV Live

Ever since switching to Servioo v1.5.2 (previously I was using Twonky v6) I haven't been able to use the built in search feature of the WDTV. This is the search feature which, when used, you can either specify "Starts with" or "Contains", and all matches as you type them on the virtual keyboard will be displayed. Is it because Servioo tries to display titles using metadata ?

Is anyone aware of any incompatibilities between Servioo and WDTV ?

I've started with Servioo v1.5.2 Pro Eval, and now it's converted to v1.5.2 (free). I'm running in on Windows 7, and I have the media folders indexed.

I do use the WDTV in one of my rooms with a non-smart TV (ie no wifi or ethernet) just perfectly, but do not use any search function.

Are you using Serviio under Windows or Linux? What version of the OS are you running?

If possible, if you could do a quick test with your WDTV and try using the search button (lower left hand corner of the remote, the "magnifying glass"), that would be great.

Thanks

Joe

Not sure if I did it right, but if I search for anything starting with "H" for example, I get everything in my library back, whether it begins with "H" or not.

Well that's the exact opposite of what I am seeing. Let me ask you this - when you go into the search feature, on the left hand side you have a virtual keyboard, and on the right hand side, would be where the list of matching titles is displayed. My initial matching titles, instead of listing the movies, lists "Audio, Image, Video". I think this is where the problem is - I'm just not sure how to get around it.

Are you seeing the same thing ?

Yes.

I'm stumped. I've tried changing the folder structure, I've tried using network mappings in Serviio (instead of drive letters)... nothing makes a difference.
