Newbie question: Directory view

[andele]

Sorry for crossposting, but I found out that Twonkymanager was the wrong group.

Dear board members,

I'm rather new to this, so my question might be silly, but I did not find a solution in the board.
I'm using a QNAP TS-112 and 6.0.34 Twonky server to stream music. I would like to use the browse my music files by folder as stored on the drive, but I'm unable to show m3u playlist files in the directory structure. Another problem is that the directory is not sorted by filename, but obviously be the name tag? This brings my file structure in disorder.

Is there any possibility to show the directory structure exactly as it is on the drive?

Thanks for any help.

Hi

Twonky default is to sort folder view by tune name (alphabetically) as opposed to album sort order. This can be changed, but you have to edit the default-view XML file to change the folder container from the below:

<container name='byfolder' id='music/folders' class='object.container.storageFolder' createClass='object.item.audioItem.musicTrack'>
<container buildon='res' createClass='object.item.audioItem.musicTrack' class='object.container.storageFolder' />
</container>

By adding sortcriteria='+upnp:originalTrackNumber' as shown below:

<container name='byfolder' id='music/folders' class='object.container.storageFolder' createClass='object.item.audioItem.musicTrack'>
<container buildon='res' sortcriteria='+upnp:originalTrackNumber' createClass='object.item.audioItem.musicTrack' class='object.container.storageFolder' />
</container>

I've done this in my custom music trees and posted them here. The instructions at that link show how to replace the existing trees, but that also explains where they are (so you could modify the existing tree by using Notepad++ if that's all you wish to change). You might have to join the forum to see the pictures in my post.
