Folder Setup

Post by NaNook » Tue Nov 10, 2009 8:24 pm

When i first set up Twonky on my NAS unit, I somehow managed to get the folder navigation just right as such:

NAS
Videos
Folder
Films
TV Shows
Music Videos

Each section under Videos then displayed the folders relevant to the directory I had pointed Twonky to.

I have had to reinstall Twonky and now when I goto NAS/Videos/Folder I just get ALL my videos displayed in one list rather than them being split down by TV Shows, Films and Music Videos.

I had it right first time around but have played around this time and still cannot get it right.

Any ideas where I may have got it wrong?

Any help much appreciated :)

If Films, TV Shows and Music Videos are all folders in a top level folder then you can do it. Set the top-level folder as the Video content location and then the Folder view should show up how you want it.

If you have 3 separate content entries, one for each of the above folders, then it won't work as you want it to.

So if your folder structure is like this:

C:\Videos
C:\Videos\Films
C:\Videos\TV Shows
C:\Videos\Music Videos

set C:\Videos as the content location for your videos and set up a Folder-type view.

Thanks very much, that worked a treat.

The only odd thing is, it worked before without doing this.

No matter, it now displays on the PS3 exactly how I want it :)
