I've just set up remote access on my WHS 2011 box. It's working well so far, but can anyone explain why I can see video folders and all their background and folder jpgs as well as my photo folders in the Browse Pictures view? I simply don't get it. The Pictures server folder is baked into WHS whether you want it or not, so you'd think Microsoft would have no problem limiting Browse Pictures to image files within it and not let other stuff leak in. Just to be absolutely clear, my movie files and all metadata are stored in their own folders, nowhere near Pictures. My photos are all stored in organised folders, all of which are in Pictures. What could possibly go wrong? I have gathered from wider reading that DLNA/uPnP leaves a lot to be desired, but this is verging on the ridiculous.

*Edit* Oops. Mods, please move to the appropriate WHS 2011 section of the forum. Thanks.

Moving the topic to WHS 2011 forum.

I noted this very annoying issue not quite two years ago: http://www.mediasmartserver.net/2010/04 ... nd-review/

Looks like you didn't get your wish! Two years ago! A shame there's no solution for this after nearly a year of the full release of WHS 2011.

Well MS listened, but have "postponed" a fix for it, vote it up here to raise the profile more.
