As posted in the .255 and .256 threads:

- In using the Hard Disk Location view scheme with TiVo, the <this folder> returns "This folder does not contain any playable music", when in fact there are .mp3s in that folder.

Most of my files are organized by artist/album.  Occasionally, there are files (mp3s) in the artist directory in addition to some album subdirectories.  When viewing it via the Hard Disk scheme in TiVo, the <this folder> comes up at the artist level along with the album subfolders, but when I click into <this folder> I get the error message above.

Example directory structure:

s:\music\enya\remix.mp3
s:\music\enya\remix2.mp3
s:\music\enya\album1\track1.mp3
s:\music\enya\album1\track2.mp3
...
s:\music\enya\album2\track1.mp3
s:\music\enya\album2\track2.mp3
...

When I view s:\music\enya on TiVo, this comes up:

<this folder>
Album1
Album2

If I go into Album1 or Album2, it shows all of the subfiles as expected.

If I choose <this folder>, instead of showing the tracks: remix
remix2

I get "This folder does not contain any playable music".

It seems to occur when a folder has both files in it and subfolders with tracks.

Thanks Jim,

That helps a lot. Yes it is caused by folders containing both music and folders. I'll work on it.
