![]() ![]() ![]() One may be locked into a certain folder structure based on how the manufacturer coded the DLNA client…Ī third way to possibly deal with the structure is to use proper metadata tags, specifically those for the “album” and or “artist” then view the media by “album” or “artist” from the DLNA client menu. The other issue is the DLNA client itself on the TV or other end device. The Twonky media server coding has a bunch of predefined enteries for DLNA clients that may also affect the way things are displayed. One can access the Twonky Administration page (for example and change the " Navigation Tree" setting (to “By Folder” for example) for new and existing DLNA clients and see if that improves the folder display on the SmartTV. One is the Twonky media server on the My Cloud. There are several issues at play with how the folder structure is displayed when using DLNA. (BTW, the WDTV has been out of production for a few years now, so look into the FireTV/Kodi combo to keep your costs down. Bottom line is the smart tv is actually not so smart, because it only has the media server view and not the SMB view.You need an appropriate media player between the My Cloud and the TV. There are other ways and media players out there, too, that could be used. Another way to view is by using an Amazon Fire TV stick with a media player installed on it called Kodi that allows for viewing either way like the WDTV. I always use the SMB view and it all looks as it does on Win PC. ![]() One way is I use a WDTV media player that gives me both views 1) as media server, and 2) as Network shares (i.e.Samba (SMB) view. Although I do not have a smart tv, I do have other equipment for using and viewing my media folders. As others have suggested, you are seeing the folders only one way, as presented by the My Cloud media server, and if this is a smart TV, you may be stuck with this view only. ![]()
