truexfan81 0 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 as the title says in some folders it shows that there are a number of files in the folder but does not show the files or even the names of the files, so i cannot play them, have done several scans, the files in question are xvid avi files.

Yogi 367 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 UNC folder shares are still the recommended way to setup your media,the clients will communicate with the server much better in the long run. http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/703-how-to-make-unc-folder-shares/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14960 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 That depends on what client you use and on what device Yes it does, but setting them up that way from the get-go means all clients and all devices will work best. Even ones you may start using in the future but aren't now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14960 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Looks like a library structure problem. Your items are not being recognized properly. Be sure you have followed one of the supported structures and naming conventions for your items and that you defined the media folder with the proper type.
