Is it possible to limit UMS to some specific folders ?

Post by Blackeyed »

First time user of UMS and i have problem, can't find option to just add 2-3 folders for scanning. Instead, UMS start to scan whole of my drives and I don't want to do that.

Is it possible to limit UMS to some specific folders ?

And you restarted UMS after you made the changes?
"All drives" should only appear when you have not defined any folder.

If that's not the case, it may be a bug

Hmm, i don't know. Does it happen with all files? or can you get some formats working?
Can you get files playing if you try items in the #--transcode--# folder?

I would create a new topic, and call it "<YOUR EXACT TV MODEL> Cant play files"
And follow Problem Reporting Guidelines

I'm sure someone will be able to help.
