Unnecessary Movies/Photos/Music selection

[RHR]

Streaming videos on WD TV Live requires following selction:
Video - Media Server - Mezzmo - Movies/Photos/Music.
The latest step is unnecessary because this selection was done in the first step.
This step is not required on some other UPNP software (Twonky or Windows Media Player).
Please skip this in Mezzmo also.

regards, RHR

Thanks for the suggestion, RHR. We'll fix this up for the next release.

[RHR]

The selection is still necessary in Mezzmo 3.0.2.0.
Is this no more on your to do list?

[Paul]

Thanks for the reminder, RHR. It has not been forgotten. We'll look into it soon.

Hi Paul... My Samsung devices (TVs and BDPs) would benefit from a similar update. Once Mezzmo is selected, the UI presents you with an option to view Videos, Photos or Music... Regardless of which I select, Mezzmo then presents the same folder options. Is this update available to test on the SamsungBDP profile?

If you have kept the default playlists in your Mezzmo library that Mezzmo creates when you first install Mezzmo (i.e. the top-level Video, Music & Photos playlists), then certain Samsung models* will browse directly into them when you are choosing that mode on your Samsung device (e.g. go directly into the Video playlist when choosing Videos on your Samsung device). If you have removed these default playlists and created your own folder/playlist hierarchy in your Mezzmo library, then you will see all top level playlists and folders.

*We have found that Samsung BDPs and Samsung B-series TVs don't seem to browse directly into the Video, Music & Photo playlists, but Samsung C-series, D-Series, etc. TVs do. We cannot alter the way that Samsung BDPs navigate since this behaviour is inside their firmware.
