[Solved] Don't want local media folders displayed
[Solved] Don't want local media folders displayed
I've created virtual folders using the VirtualFolders.conf file and this works fine.
There's no need for me to add physical folders in the Shared Content tab, so I leave "Shared Folders" in this tab empty.
However, for some reason UMS now adds my Windows local media folders (Music, Video, Pictures) to the Shared Folders, which I do not want. I just want to navigate through my virtual folders and don't need (and don't want) these local folders. When I delete these 3 unwanted folders, they are added again when UMS is restarted.
How can I prevent UMS adding these folders?

Clearly a tough question.
What I ask is not possible?
Of should I perhaps ask this question in the Help and Support section?

Re: Don't want local media folders displayed
I'm not sure it is supposed to do that.
I think on a new install those are added as default for new users if no folders are set, but maybe they is a flaw in the logic so if you delete those then UMS thinks it is a new install and tries to be helpful by adding them again.
I'm sure this was not the behaviour on older versions.
I have noticed something similar with the web content folder, If I delete everything it will be repopulated when UMS is restarted. I have to leave at least one item.
I have created an issue on GitHub for the devs to look in to it
