Play files by just browsing existing folder structure on PC?

Hi All,

Just got WMS working with my Samsung 7 series, it's working great!

Question is, how can I use it to just browse to a file that is already in a nice structure on my PC. E.g. for music, I have over 90Gb of files, already in folders like:

/Rock/ACDC/High Voltage/

or for video (not just "Movies")

/Documentaries/Construction/Megastructures/

etc. I don't really want it scanning and categorising all my stuff, I already know where it is!

If I point it at my Comedy folder, it justs attempts to list about a thousand episodes in one list which is useless. :/ Is there a way to do this, if not I'm gonna revert to PS3MS, and just use WMS for when I need more settings or more Internet TV content.

Many thanks! :)

Right-click in the folder list, you can hide or delete them. You can still use the settings: Settings - Media Resources - Scanning - "Skipping intermediate folder (containing one folder)". Settings - Device - "Exclude empty folders in navigation"
