How to find the physical location of a file on Disk

I am running the free Serviio 1.51. I am running it on a Windows 7 desktop

I have a tons of media files (mostly video and photos). There are times when I want to be able to get the actual file location (folder name) the file(s) are stored in. Is there a way to get this info via Serviio

thanks

If you find the file in the Folders category it's where it is on the disk

Yes, I know I can look at the folders.

Here's the challenge

I have videos and photos on six physical disks with folder structures like this

>Disk Name 1
\Video
\DVD
\MKV 720p
\MKV 1080p
\Music
\Lossless
\Mp3
\High Resolution Audio

>Disk Name 2
\Video
\DVD
\MKV 720p
\MKV 1080p
\Music
\Lossless
\Mp3
\High Resolution Audio
....

>Disk Name 6
\Video
\DVD
\MKV 720p
\MKV 1080p
\Music
\Lossless
\Mp3
\High Resolution Audio

Since each physical disk has the same folder structure, is there a way to see which physical disk a video is on. For example all I see in Folders is multiple named folders "DVD", "MKV 720p" and "MKV 1080p" . So though I can see the folder names, I can't tell which physical disk each folder is on.

Hope I am clear

thanks

No, unless you enable detailed logging, play the file and check the log.

thanks Zip. I will do that

Is there a way to physically delete a file from any Serviio user interface. I would guess not but can't blame a guy for trying :-)

No there is not.
