Sort by Date

[drdree3]

Hi, I have MyCloud connected to a Samsung Smart TV 6 series.
When entering the MyCloud service via the TV the option ‘by date’ was available, but not any more.

Is this a MyCloud setting or Smart TV setting?

Thanks

Since you are accessing using a TV, I suspect you are accessing the DLNA Media Server.

I would use the Twonky UI (Sharing/Media Receivers) to check the Media Receiver Type and Navigation Type for your TV. Set the navigation type to ‘Advanced Media Navigation’.

'[FAQ] Twonky DLNA Media Server Setup & Use

Some Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Twonky, And Some Answers The MyCloud includes a Twonky DLNA Media Server. Sadly it doesn’t seem very well integrated into the MyCloud, and the two fight for supremacy. I’ve spent a long time trying to understand how it works, and reading the forum, I see many other people also have trouble with it. So I thought that, rather than trying to answer these questions individually, I’d try to write an FAQ covering the things I’ve found, and the problems I or …

Having said all that, I don’t see a ‘sort by date’ option when browing Twonky with BubbleUPnP.

Has your TV recentyl updated its firmware?
What settings are available under ‘Opties’ ?

thank you cpt_paranoia,

I’ve checked the Twonky settings. There I don’t see any setting for ‘sort by date’, same as you.
Tv software could have been updated, this goes automatic.
Under ‘options’ I can only filter pictures and video’s.

This little change is really annoying, especially since the source of this change is unknown.

What service / app should I use best to access my WDCloud media from my Samsung Series 6 TV?
The standard access has now become close to useless unfortunately.

Rgds,
