I have a very specific way that I'd like to display my media (keeps things simple for the wife and grandmother...).
I have a WDTV Live, and I would like to only display the watched folders for each media type. In 1.04, when I go to Videos, I see Movies, Music, Photo, and Service. Is there any way to conceal this level of the hierarchy? I actually only use this for video, never photos or music, so ideally, if they were gone entirely I'd be alright.
Any help you can provide is appreciated!

Re: Extra media folders displayed
1.) Be sure to only add folders that contain the videos you wish to view. Under Settings >> Media Resources. De-select the "green button" so only movies/videos + sub folders are scanned for that particular folder.
2.) You can hide and rename folders under the main 'Movies' menu (Rt-click 'hide folder' and/or 'edit title'). I have everything hidden but one folder and I think I renamed the default watched folder to "Movies & Videos"
3.) When connecting from the WDTV; select Media Servers >> the name of your server >> and you are in!
I have also asked if it is possible to decrease the number of folders you need to drill into, but it seems to be a limit of the WDTV Live -not WMS....
