paulyuk6 0 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Hi folks I recently received Emby as an included app with my TerraMaster network backup system, It runs fine and lets me access my network music library on my Cambridge Audio CXN player, as well as my TV - connecting across my network using DNLA The only problem is, on any of these devices it offers me way too many folder choices: Latest, Playlists, Albums, Album Artists, Songs, Genres, Favourite Artists, Favourite Albums etc. Where can I find a menu option that lets me set which folders are shown over DNLA? I only really want to see Album and Artist! The version of Emby I am running is 4.3.0.33 on Linux. Many thanks in advance Paul Link to post Share on other sites
Happy2Play 4519 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 There is no way to control the sub-folders displayed in DLNA that I know of. Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 26174 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Hi, yes there's currently no configuration for this, but it's definitely possible for the future. thanks. Link to post Share on other sites

I posted this a year ago. Just wondering if there has been any progress yet? Just to recap, when I connect to Emby through my TV or network music player it gives me way too many folder choices, such as: Latest, Playlists, Albums, Album Artists, Songs, Genres, Favourite Artists, Favourite Albums etc. How do edit the list of viewing folder options? I don't need Genres , Favourite Artsts etc. etc. So I just want to turn off the ones I don't need. Is this possible yet? Thanks Paul Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 26174 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Hi, there are no options for this yet but it remains a good idea for future updates. Thanks for the feedback. Link to post Share on other sites
gruni 2 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) I am waiting now for two years about this issue. I actually tried to find a solution using a profile - isn´t it possible with it? The standard structure for network player like pioneer N-50/N-70 is horrible. The only item twonky is doing much better since 2010. Edited December 18, 2020 by gruni Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 26174 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 It's currently not possible, sorry, but the layout we present in Dlna should be consistent with what you see in the web app. Link to post Share on other sites
gruni 2 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Meanwhile EMBY is detecting my pioneer N-50A by profile settings "... 2020-12-29 18:40:42.260 Debug Dlna: Found matching device profile: Pioneer N-50A 2020-12-29 18:40:42.261 Info Dlna: DLNA Session created for N-50A - N-50A/SYXEV8" I gave a special user "N-50A_Benutzer" to that profile but my N-50A shows always the standard user settings. Logging in the N-50A-User via PC shows the correct settings. protocol.txt Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 26174 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Quote I gave a special user "N-50A_Benutzer" to that profile but my N-50A shows always the standard user settings. Hi there, what user settings are you referring to? Link to post Share on other sites
gruni 2 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 this are my settings. My N-50A is identified by Emby by profile (Model-Name: N-50A/SYXEV8). The User-profile "N-50A_Benutzer" works, if I choose it via PC, IPad etc., I see only musik, no Pictures or videos. My N-50A instead shows everything. ................................................. ................................................. Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 26174 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 @gruni, @cayars can jump on with you and take a look, but I think this will come down to the user library that you've configured for the Dlna profile. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks ! Link to post Share on other sites
cayars 1890 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Those options look like they should work assuming that's the correct profile. You could also try setting up the default profile the same way only showing music as well. If this isn't working I'd be happy to do a remote session with you and look things over. Just send me a PM and we can arrange it. Link to post Share on other sites
gruni 2 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 sorry, I had a lot to do last days. I will check changings of default user and come back. Thanks for your support 1 Link to post Share on other sites

paulyuk6 0 Posted Sunday at 10:06 AM Author Share Posted Sunday at 10:06 AM It seems that there is no actual way to tell Emby which folders to display. So there is no way to get rid of unwanted folders such as 'Playlists' or 'Recorded TV'. Paul Link to post Share on other sites

There's no need to configure it separately just for dlna, right? Link to post Share on other sites
gruni 2 Posted Tuesday at 04:32 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:32 PM what has worked: I set "N50A_Benutzer" (only access to music) as default user. after that I could not see "Fotos" and "Filme" on my Panasonic TV I set "Panasonic_Benutzer" (access to music, video and photo) as profile to Panasonic Viera-profile Panasonic vierra seams to be recognized and assigned correctly. Last item to become happy: if I like to hear for example "Jazz" at N50A, I want to see all my 200+ jazz-titles and start shuffle at N50A. What I can choose is: Jazz/Album/Songs to see 1,2,3... titles of this one and only album I must choose to see songs so the filter for choosing songs is going 1-2 steps too deep. Any solution to become 100% happy? PS: its the only item for me the oldfashion TwonkyServer is doing better Link to post Share on other sites
gruni 2 Posted Tuesday at 04:36 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:36 PM Perhaps it will be an idea to start with "intelligent playlists", filtering the complete content of songs according to defined features. Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 26174 Posted Tuesday at 04:40 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:40 PM What do you mean by 1-2 steps too deep? Link to post Share on other sites
gruni 2 Posted Tuesday at 04:57 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:57 PM What I see at N50A is: - music -- genre (for example) --- album to see only the 1,2 or 3 songs of the one album I must choose to see my songs What I like to have is: - music -- genre (for example) --- album to see al the songs of genre for example jazz to hear a mix from all of my 200+ songs of jazz - not additionaly filtered by album or sometimes additional interpret.

Luke 26174 Posted Tuesday at 05:49 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:49 PM Ok. I think the way we have it now is the way that most users want, but more options are possible for the future. Thanks for the feedback. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
