My LinkStation Mini has a customer folder tree set up. When I connect from WMP 11 on Vista, it doesn't see that - instead, it seems to see kind of a default structure. Why would that be so - is "Windows Media Connect" getting in the way somehow ?
In addition, it seems that WMP only sees a subset of all titles - many albums and titles appear to not be found.
What would cause this ?
WMP 11 / Vista as client does not see custom folder tree ?

Re: WMP 11 / Vista as client does not see custom folder tree
If you can see your songs/albums on the Twonky media browser pages then we are serving them to clients on your network. Sounds like WMP might be filtering things. I don't see how we could fix that on the server side. Seems like a question for the WMP guys to me. If you try TwonkyManager, I'm sure you'll see everything.

Re: WMP 11 / Vista as client does not see custom folder tree
For all of the three UPnP servers on my home network, I have specific / different custom navigation trees set up. All of my "hardware" type UPnP clients (including a couple NOXON devices and a WD TV streaming media player) will see these ok. WMP displays the same navigation tree for all three servers, so I have to agree it's a WMP thing; it appears to impose its own view.

All songs/albums appear on the Twonky media browser pages, and it works great with my DLNA-Clients (Onkyo Receiver and Samsung TV), only the WMP has this problem. (I want to use the play-to extension).
I´ve tried different configurations on the Twonky media end-device page for the WMP, but WMP doesn´t take notice of this
