Hi@all.

Everything is working fine, but i've got a problem with my DLNA / UPnP enabled TV. The TV recognizes the twonkyserver.
When i select it, i can choose between Music, Picture, Videos. When doing this i get a folder view, showing these 3 options again. I don't know how to change this, i don't want to choose these options twice.

I already tried to change the 'View Template' to Simple View, Folder Navigation on Web Configuration UI as Standard Template and Device specific:

My Share - Configuration is:

/pictures -> Pictures only
/videos -> Videos only
/music -> Music only


My TV is a Samsung LE40C750 and twonkyserver is running under Ubuntu 10.x, but this should't be an operating system issue.

best regards

This is not an answer to the problem, but may add some insight for the developers to ponder on

I have/do see this question asked here on the forums a lot

I too see this on all devices, except for the xbox, go figure!
From the sony PS3 it shows all 3 tree's under each root tree
I have also seen this on a freinds sony XBR tv

I was thinking if this was just a twonky problem, of which I dont think it is
It may have something to do with DLNA, but then again
If I turn on media streaming on windows 7, and navigate to it from the ps3
the experience with the double tree is similiar to that of twonky

in that from the ps3 one selects video from the xmb
then one is presented with music, pictures, and video
one then has to go through that second video to get to the actual nav tree
