siu99ss2 13 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Hi, I posted a similar question for Android app and was informed the app was not fully complete/functional yet. So not sure if the same applies to Samsung app. I still use folder levels to organise and to navigate my media library ie TV shows\Drama\series1 and TV shows\Comedy\series1 and Movies\Kids\movie1 and Movies\3D\movie1 etc. However when I try to navigate my library via Media Folders option, all files in those categories are amalgamated into a one and the folder structure is not maintained. Makes it alot harder to navigate my collection/setup. Is this to be expected or am I missing a setting option somewhere? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siu99ss2 13 Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 Sorry forgot to mention I'm using v0.560b with latest server build. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6770 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) It's due to the views you have set up in the Dashboard. If you want separate folders, I think you have to remove TV as a view. I don't use views so I have, TV, Movies, Classic Movies, Kids Movies, Kids TV etc as my media folders. .

siu99ss2 13 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Thanks @@CBers. I've tried unchecking the group options from my user dashboard but all items continue to be grouped together in either all movies or all tv shows views. My setup is very similar to yours and I rarely if ever use the views. Will try settings again tonight as I really need this to work. Thanks again.

chessdragon136 677 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Yeah I would setup Comedy, Kids... as a separate library of type tv. Think that resolves your issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siu99ss2 13 Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 @@chessdragon136 yes I might have to consider setting up my library this way if the app is not able to navigate/display multiple folder levels. But I will probably end up with loads of entire in media folder view. Currently I have movies, tv shows, music etc on the home screen. Then movies is split further based on language ie english, indian or foreign And then each language section is split even further into 3d, animation, kids, etc Tv shows is also split but only by genre, eg drama, comedy, kids etc Might have to just setup mbc on a htpc if easier. Thanks for all them help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6770 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 What you have described sounds very personalised. Are you able to see it in the web client as you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siu99ss2 13 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Sorry CBers been ill for a few days. Never used the web client so just checked it now. It also groups all media together (even with group items unchecked) so I'm guessing it's my setup which is probs outdated. Only ever used MBC (Pearl theme) which works perfect with folder level navigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidman 589 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Have you tried adding each sub folder as a separate media library... This should allow you to separate the folders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6770 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 @@siu99ss2 - in MB, are your Drama and Comedy folder separate libraries? Or do you have TV Shows as your main TV library? Can you put up some screenshots of how they are configured in the Library page of the Dashboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siu99ss2 13 Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) Hi I've attached screenshots of server library. I've also included pictures from iPad app navigating my library via 'folders' route which works as desired. Also works perfect in Android app (in mobile mode). All my media subfolders are under single root folders eg movies or tv shows (using flexraid to combine folders into single structure). I'm happy to consider a new library setup if that's the only way forward (with other future apps aswell) as I'm guessing the Samsung app is unable to navigate and display individual folder levels. Thanks for the help and advice. Edited March 6, 2015 by siu99ss2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will spend the weekend experimenting with @@Vidman and others recommendation and upgrade my setup from prehistoric MB2 (folder navigation) to MB3's views-set. If I added the below into library as type 'movie' would this allow me to keep the sub-folders separate or will they still be all grouped together under eg. english movies? Movies --> English Movies --> 3D --> Animation --> Kids Movies --> Indian Movies --> 3D --> Animation --> Kids etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidman 589 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Yes if you remove the root movies folder from your first screen shot and then add each sub folder as a separate library you will be able to set media browser to show them as separate folders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
