Universal Media Server | Forum

Hello! I just started using universal media server after trying other media servers and I'm sticking with this one because is the one that better handles the .srt files.

But one thing I'm missing that I could see in other servers like plex or serviio is the way the files were automatically sorted by seasons or tv shows. I'll give an example.

With other servers, when I browse my media, I see something like:

>How to get away with murder
>>Season1
>>>Episode 1
>>>Episode 2
>>>etc.

But with UMS I see the items exactly as I have them in my computer, in other words, it's a mess xD:

>How.to.get.away.with.murder.1080p.DIMENSION,AC3
>>S01E01.WEB-DL.DIMENSION.AC3
>>How_to_get_murdereds01e03_1080_english.AAC
>>etc.

So, my question is if it is possible to get automatically sorted and renamed all the files that are shown by UMS. I guess it has to be possible somehow but I haven't been able to make it happen

Thanks in advance.

On the "Navingation/Share Settings" page you can enable "Prettify filenames" - that will try to "clean up" the filenames so they look more like you describe. When it comes to sorting by series, I don't know if that's one of the available views, but if you make sure that "Enable the cache" is enabled and "Hide the cache folder" is disabled, you should see a meny item called "Cache" when browsing. If you enter this, you can see your media organized in multiple ways.

Thank you so much, I will try that later
