Question
Oldnog
I have an oled55c7V and a storage device on the same wireless network. The storage has lots of music and photos. The TV can access the device and see the data on it. It seems to deal with photo albums fine. However it doesn't present the music information in a good way, making it effectively useless. Grateful for help!
The music on the external storage is, as you would expect, stored as albums and tracks. The tracks are files and the albums are folders. The issue is that I can't see a good list of folders, ie albums, which is what I really want.
If on the TV I select music, it shows me the device and can then click on folders. Unhappily, it shows me 10,000 individual files (ie tracks) first) so it takes 10 minutes to scroll down to find the folders. This looks to my naive eye to be a fault: if I search on folders I should get folders.
Another search option is on albums. Trouble with that is that it finds only about 20 albums, and the remaining 10,000 tracks are bundled into a single 'unknown' folder. So that's no good either but why is this happening? Why has it failed to identify the vast majority of albums. When I look at them on my PC I can see no difference between the folders and their contents for the few the TV does recognise versus the many that it does not. For example, we have a fair few Beatles albums with only two recognised by the TV. Those two did not arrive on the storage by a different route than at least some of the others, and they look identical on my PC (they are basically MP3 files, the folder also contains a very small file called ID). Whe I try to seach by other criteria, eg artist, I get the same very small sample.
What seems to be going on here is that some attribute in the folders (which I can't see) is causing some to load as albums but most not.
One way out of this would perhaps be for me to navigate down the file structure on the NAS as I do on my PC. But I can't find a way to do that on my TV. Is there one?
Grateful for help!
