Hi,

I used to archive off TV series episodes to DVD once I'd watched the current season to save drive space.
However, I've recently bought a new NAS box and have begun 'un-archiving' my files.

This has meant that some TV series folders have over 100 episodes / files in them.
If I browse to these directories in the media browser I can play any file.
If I go via the videowall however, one of two things happens.
One is that the media has a think for a second or two then reboots. The other is that I get a dialogue message saying unsupported format with the only option being to clcik/select agreed.

After a little testing this only seems to be in directories with a very large number of files.
Is there a known limitation?

I'm sure I could get round it by splitting out each season in to sub-directories, but I'd rather not.

My files are organised as follows

Movies
-Movie1
--Movie1file
-Movie2
--Movie2file
TV
-Show1
--Show1ep101
.
.
.
--Show1ep924
-Show2
----Show2ep101
etc

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Adrian

Any ideas?
Should I report this as a bug?

Looks like you run into some design limitation.
Question has been forwarded to the devs and waiting for their input.

OK, thanks.
Was hoping it would be you Maas that would reply.

Happy to do some testing if they need it.

Did you already try to splitting up into some folders to see if that solves your issue?
