Great app, couple questions and request

First of all let me say that this is the best DLNA server I have found. I tried all that were free and for windows and most of them don't even work and those that do are not as lightweitgh, don't have as friendly interface as Serviio.

Now, I have one question and possibly one request.

First, what about .sub subtitles? My Samsung LE40C550 should support both .srt and .sub, is there a way to use .sub instead of .srt - my library is huge and it would be unbeliveable amount of work to change all subtitles to .srt....

Second, I have several series and as I understand, Serviio should be able to detect these and put them in special "Series" folder. Now, my episodes are in format S01_E01 - Episode Name.avi or just S01_E01.avi. From the FAQ page I found that S01-E01 would work but S01_E01 (with underscore) would not. Is it possible to make user-defined separator or add _ as a separator?

Another question...

I have 2 NASes. If they are added to media library on Serviio, and turned off, would Servio, with auto-update library turned on, erase these from database? :) That would be a pity as it takes several hours to add them! :)

regards and thenx for the great program,
Dalibor

They should be supported, but are not ATM. Create a ticket on bitbucket and I'll implement it.

Is it possible to make user-defined separator or add _ as a separator?

Again, create a ticket with some filename examples, please.

Yes, they'll be removed from the library. There is a new feature in 0.5 which will enable you to allow scanning for new/updated files per folder, so you could disable that functionality for your NASes.
