After I enabled DLNA access to my Media folder I was disappoited with the mess which I saw trying to access media files located under my Media folder. Lot of selection options which I would never use + mixed content and all this in multiple folder layers.
So, I did the following:
-
Accessed Twonky admin console with the URL: httpL//yourIpAddress:9000 (in my case 192.168.1.3:9000)
-
In SETUP section selected “By Folder” option
-
In CONTENT section I unselected my common Media folder which had “All content type” content, and created 3 separate contents: /Media/Music, /Media/Video, /Media/Photos selecting correspondently the type: Music, Video, Photos.
Now, on my TV I have the following structure:
Videos:
-
All Videos
-
By Folder
2.1 Level Up
2.2 Video
… My video folders.
This is much better - less folder levels, less unnecessary selection options, no mixed content - e.g. only video files under video folder.
But still there are redundant levels, I would like to remove By Folder and Video layer. They are not needed at all. But as I understand I can’t change it without editing twonky configuration files, which I can’t configure without recompiling the RAM storage - e.g. the Twonky files are not editable.
Please, if you know any other way how to improve folder structure of the WD EX2 DLNA , let me know. I mean relatevely simple way.
