So is there no way to default to a network share for specific media type?

[Andy_D]

What I mean is, if I go into videos, I only want to see the shares that are relevant.  As of now, it looks like the only option is to see everything shared.   Doesn't make any sense to handle it this way.

I'm not sure I understand your question.  Why would you add irrelevant shares to your media library?

[Andy_D]

I want to go into Videos and only see my Video shared folder.   Instead what I see is every share on my server.  Defeats the purpose of having sections for each media type.  Since I posted...

1)  It looks like I can use Favorites in Dashboard to narrow the view to what would be the relevant folders.  The problem is I have no option to set Favorities to any folder in a network share.   Still trying to figure out why the option doesn't show up

2)  Media Library - Not clear what this actually does.  I tried adding one of the folders to the media library and it found nothing.  I have to delete the share from the media library settings just to be able to see any shares again

What version of firmware are you using?

[Andy_D]

It's the latest one - at least per the firmware update that I got on the device

Enable the media library. Then add each of your shares to the media library manager. Wait for the WDTV to finish compiling the library, then switch the content source to "My Media Library."

this is normal behavior for the SMP if you're browsing your network shares through sources.
if you add each specific share to the Media Library like Tony states it will only show the ones you want.

Ok guys.  I'll give this a shot when I figure out why I can't see some of my shares

Hi Guys, I need some help here too

I did add all my share to the " Files" section, pressed option and added the folders to the media library, but for some reason it only adds 2 of my shared movies folders to the media library. On of them I get a note saying that "this folder or sub folders has been already added to the library, please choose another folder" or sometimes it states that this folder has been added already, choose another folder. I do not see this folder in my "Video" section.

I did a factory reset a few times, after that it did pick the folder that was previously denied, but now I get the same message for the folder that was previously OK

I have deleted the .wd file that was created , and started fresh, but I can only seems to get 2 of the folders into my video library

I hope I am making some sense here

Any help is much appreciated

hey Vinmatrix, 

i don't think you have to add them to the "files" section in the WDTV.

I have a network share from my home server.  I needed to go into the settings/ system/ media manager section and enable the media library as Tony mentioned below.

then in the same area, add folders to your media library.  you can add them a folder at a time from your shared folders on various machines, and they all go into the one large library.

hope that helps! 

kudos if it makes sense. =)
