I've been using WMS for a few days now and it's amazing. Easy interface and so..
BUT ... i dont know if this is even possible on other dlna/upnp-servers ... is it possible to search items thru the whole media-database?

I've a WD TV Live and kinda 25.000 mediafiles (all in order in different directories) ... but if i e.g. want to listen to "System of a down" i've to skip hundreds of directories before i get to the desired directory.

Any suggestions or infos if this isnt even possible.
Thanks in advance

Well .. that's what i just found out a minute ago ^^ ...
BUT ... the result always give me a list of files. Is there a way to search for folders?
If i use the search-button i can search for artist, album and genre (if i remember correct) and no matter in what view i'm at that time ... it always give me a list of media-files.
