Well iv’e given up with the itunes thing as i cant get that to work!
New “niggle” - iv’e had reasonable success with wifi streaming to my wdtv smp, albeit the wifi tends to be a bit flakey at times (router and box about 15ft apart!) and the box saying no content when i turn it on, its becoming more of a pain than just sticking a dvd in the player.
Soooo. I know you can attach the drive to the wdtv smp and use it locally - and that always worked fine - is it possible to have the wdtv smp and the hd attached locally and still be able to “send new” files to it from the pc via the wifi connection?
So with a little digging i have got the smp and goflex drive connected via the rear usb (which doesnt seem to be having any issues or sudden dropouts etc as described by some - so far…) and i have mapped the drive to the pc network and can send file direct via the wifi link which is just about perfect as it gets for me as least!
I just have one issue that bugs me and thats not related to connection/playback problem etc, its more of a display issue - i have a “Movies” folder thats sorted by genre and thats perfect - the file structure for that is:
Folder: “Movies” (with folder.jpg) with subfolders as follows:
“Action” (with folder.jpg)
“Comedy” (with folder.jpg)
Folder “New Releases” (with folder.jpg)
etc
etc
That works and displays perfect.
Problem is with the “Pictures” folder and its sorting. i have the same folder setup as above for movies and its putting folders in i did not create - what i would like is:
Folder: “Photos” (with folder.jpg) - then sub folders as follows:
“Wedding” (with folder.jpg)
“Holiday” (with folder.jpg)
“Misc” (with folder.jpg)
etc etc
What i’m getting displayed is the above, but it’s adding extra folders/images of just case artwork etc found in the “Movies” folder and the “New Releases” folder - which i don’t want - is there a way to suppress folders? - the sorting options dont seem to help much - am i missing something obvious here?
