Sure thing - the top of My Libary is there to make it easy to see all of your media together (all movies, all music, etc). If, like me, you organized all your music by directories, you can simply go to the drive itself - it's listed below "Active Copy"; click there, and all your folders will be there, just like they appear when your drive is plugged into your computer.

The Pogoplug creates a "web-friendly" (low res, no need to seek around the file to play) h.264 encoded version of your file, which it puts into the cedata directory that gets created on your drive. We don't actually touch the original file; that will remain intact.

So - if you have your Media Settings set to Auto-transcode full, we'll make a transcoded version of your video for you that will play on your iPhone. Hope that helps!

I have the same problem as you, but not only in the web interface, it's even worse when I'm looking at my videos from my ps3. All my videos show up one after the others while they are all very well classified. Very unpracticall when you have numerous seasons of different shows, including 25Gb of XFiles and you wan't to watch say, season 6 episode 19. You have to scroll down all the way to X through all the other videos... would be nice to be able to browse through my pictures and videos using the folder classification that's already present on the drive.

It's also helpful when you have hidden some X pictures or videos in a separate folder, for them NOT to show up among all the other pictures and videos.

What can I (or you) do to fix this it's very annoying.

I'll leave the comments below, since I still have some issues with the way it allows editing, but for the most part, I've found what I need.


This may sound stupid, but one basic question; where can I access my transcoded videos? They go through the process and "poof" I don't see them in "Movies" anymore. If you say there are in some "cedata" directory, why is that not visible in the web gui? I'm truly not impressed with the gui at all. It's not very configurable and not intuitive. I'm my opinion anyway. I should be able to easily locate, rename, and organize information and this product just doesn't allow you to do that. If it does, there needs to be more documentation for it. Ooh, I don't intend to SSH into the machine to do my work, it should be in the web gui.


Again, if I'm missing something, please point me in the right direction. I want to get more out of this thing than I'm getting now.

I appreciate the response, but if I transcode the file so I can "share" it, why is it in a hidden directory? Is that not why we're supposed to transcode the videos? I can't browse them in my windows directory when when i'm 4000 miles away and trying to access the file. Ooh well....
