FTP folder for screensaver - Jwbohrer - 2013-11-03
I have added a new picture folder through the interface to add a picture source. It is an FTP folder. It works to browse the pictures. However, when I try to use that location as my screensaver/slideshow location, it does not work, and instead serves up random images from the movies I have. I can switch it back to a local folder on a USB drive and it pulls pictures from that for the screen saver.
Any ideas on what is going on here?
RE: FTP folder for screensaver - Jwbohrer - 2013-11-05
Here's a little update on this problem. The FTP location works fine for the screensaver IF i just dump pictures into it, not in folders. For instance example.com/screensaver and that exact path is what I use as the image source location. However, if I upload folders of images instead of images it then just supplies random images from my movie directory. For instance, example.com/screensaver/folder
This screensaver can navigate folders when it isn't using FTP, for instance if I have the screensaver set to use "usb drive/screensaver/ but also have folders in that screensaver folder, it will use all the images in the main folder and the subfolders.
Hope this helps describe what I'm seeing here.
