What data sent to Client and can things change

Post by dtsig »

When I bring up my server on my MMA, I get the 'All Files', 'Location', 'Actor', 'Director' ... listings. When I use the client on my blu-ray player I get similar (my guess is they simply display whatever you send .. yes?).

The problem comes in with the differences between Movies and TV episodes.

I go into location and I get a large number of 'folders' like '000-Current' (where i store current episodes recorded but not watched and added to series folder) and then folders for all the series (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Wagon Train etc) and movie 'series' (Harry Potter, Terminator etc).

Finally when I go into the folder, for example 'Wagon Train', I get a list of episodes names ... In this case it *seems* to be okay as I am guessing that you are showing them in Episode# seq?? Is this right?

Since I have a lot of films that are not in folders I have to go to ALL to see them (i think). In case of using all I might see several *files* with the same name and there is no way to see what they are .. tv eps AND IF SO which series, or films.

When using the ALL it would be very nice if more info could be added .. like Series or user selected.

When looking at TV would it be possible to see the episode number? Or again allow user to define this.

You can't modify how MediaMonkey shares file info. You can control what is shared in the Media Sharing settings. You can also use Magic Nodes to customize the folder navigation: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... agic+nodes

Not being able to change things (though some settings) is very sad making :( and the options really don't do anything but define which 'tree' elements you will share.
I will look at 'Magic Nodes' and try to figure that out.

Node customization has been requested (http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=8740) and is possible through Magic Nodes, tag customization has been requested (http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=8742).
