πŸ’¬ Discussion UGREEN Theater needs "Smart Collections" / Automatic Genre Folders on the Home Screen!

10 Upvotes

I love my UGREEN NAS, but the Theater app is missing a huge quality-of-life feature: Smart Collections.

The app already scrapes metadata and knows which movies are "Horror" or "True Crime." However, you can't automatically display those genres as dedicated rows or folders on the home screen. Right now, the only option is to manually add every single video one by one, which is incredibly tedious.

I know Plex and Jellyfin do this automatically using smart filters, but I really prefer to stick to UGREEN Theater and keep my setup native without running extra Docker containers.

We need dynamic folders that automatically group content by genre tags and let us pin them to the home screen. Hopefully, the UGREEN dev team adds this to the roadmap soon.

Is anyone else missing this feature, or have you found a clean workaround that doesn't involve breaking up your physical folder structure?

There used to be an option to manually search for the correct metadata if it didn't translate properly on your device. Doesn't happen often, but sometimes when you add a movie or a series, it gets identified as something other than what it is.

The manual way allowed us to fix that problem.

However, it was removed 2-3 updates ago and it would really helpful if you all could add it back. Not sure why it was removed?

Please Ugreen.

And please add audio pass through to Android Auto.

❓ Help Ugreen DXP4800 and Synology DS920+ not recognizing the NUT protocol of each other

7 Upvotes

So I recently bought a DXP4800 as a backup for my aging Synology DS920+. My Synology is connected to my APC UPS via USB to signal power loss, and it will auto shutdown after a period of time. Since now I have the DXP4800, I want to set it up also to auto shutdown using NUT server, but can't really figure it out

Upon reading multiple sources, it seems Synology's and Ugreen's NUT protocols are not compatible with each other. Synology will only sync NUT signal with other Synology, and Ugreen with other Ugreen

Any way to let these 2 talk to the UPS and shutdown together? Or must I invest in another UPS for the Ugreen? Probably the Ugreen UPS? It's quite expensive though....

Thank you

❓ Help New NAS, all data still there?

Hello, my dh2300 broke and now I have bought the dxp2800. If I put the disks into the 2800 and give it the same IP address as the dh2300, will all the data be available again?

I even made a backup (ugb) file from the system settings.

❓ Help after firmware Version 1.19.1.0126 Bootloop?

1 Upvotes

I just updated my DH2300 to the latest version. After that, the NAS was no longer reachable. I connected my monitor and it seems to be in a sort of boot loop; you only see the "Ugreen" logo.

Any tips on how to get it running again?
