Summary0016380: DLNA: videos represented incorrectly in various views
DescriptionClick Devices & Services > DLNA > NAS > Video > Folders > Path > MovieDir to see a movie that contained only a single file in the folder,
1) Different views show different and often incorrect representations of the tracks (the issue doesn't occur consistently)
- Browser/List views showed no entries (though the status bar indicated 1 file)
- List by Album view, showed an entry
- In grid view, the video is always shown as 'Unknown album'!

2) Click BACK to go back to the PATH directory
--> the view doesn't update!

Note: These issues don't occur with Bubble UPnP. Also, this is probably a separate issue, but there's no thumbnail for the video (bubbleUPnP shows a thumbnail).
Additional InformationI tested this because of the report at: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=95614
However, I was unable to replicate the issue that was reported there, though I suspect it's just a different manifestation of what I've reported above.

I can repliate issue 2) with some servers (e.g. my NAS). To be fixed...

As for the issue of showing 'Unknown album' for videos in "Grid (by Album)" view, this is actually expected behaviour (as all the videos have unknown album value).

1) Re. Videos always appear as 'Unknown album', yes it could be expected from the perspective that the 'album' field is undefined (same holds true for Video > Location > Path [Grid]) but I think that it's safe to say that any user browsing a directory of videos would expect to see to see something like what MM4 displays for Video > Location > Grid: the Title of the Video (if the Album is absent) with a thumbnail (like BubbleUPnP displays).

This is probably a larger issue, since it's not specific to UPnP.

2) I'm able to replicate this as follows:
1 Navigate to Devices & Services > DLNA > NAS > Video > Folders > Path > MovieDir
--> view updates
2 Click BACK 2x to go back to the PATH directory
--> view updates
3 Click FORWARD 2x several times to get back to
4 Click BACK 2x
--> directory fails to update
--> the view doesn't update!

Note: it's a long video but the issue occurs once near the beginning and a second time towards the end

1) OK, I added 'Grid' in addition to 'Grid (by Album)' for all location/folders.

2) Fixed in 2230

Tested 2231
1) OK
2) This is still problematic. As the user browses up and down the hierarchy and/or switches Views, MM gets stuck on 'Reading files...' and/or fails to display content (I was only able to capture the latter in the screencast)
3) For the [List (by album)] view, MM never displays any content
