Windows 10: sort photos and videos into corresponding libraries / folders automatically?

i have my windows machine set up as a dnla server to watch videos from my pc on my tv. problem is the photos app imports everything pictures and videos into the pictures app, and none of them show up in the dlna server video and picture library / folder. it looks like when i choose 'videos' on the tv via the dlna interface, it displays the contents of the 'videos' folder / library on my windows machine, which is empty because windows does not store videos there. any way to automate this process?

Map a network drive folder to my video library

To Include folders using Manage Library Tools, we suggest that you perform the steps below:

• In File Explorer, select or open a library (ex: Videos) you want to include a folder or drive to.
• Click on the Library Tools Manage tab, and click on the Manage library button in the ribbon.
• Click on the Add button
• Browse to and select a folder or drive that you want to include in this library, and click on the Include folder button.
• When finished, click/tap on OK.

Keep us updated with the result.

 

Consistent Folder View and Sort Options in Libraries

Is there any way to make the subfolders within libraries to maintain a consistent view and sort options?

For example, the default pictures library has sort by 'name', 'date', 'tags', etc, but I want my pictures library to have sort options similar to the document library default, e.g. sort by 'name', 'date modified', 'type', 'size'. If I change the sort options
in the top folder in my picture library, it only affects that folder, not the subfolders. If I wanted all the folders in my picture library to have consistent sort options, I would have to change every single folder manually. I have tried optimising the pictures
library for documents, so that all folders have the intended sort options, but that changes the folder view to 'details', whereas I want 'large icons'. I have the same problem as before, as I would have to manually change every folder's view to 'large icons'.

I have seen other threads refer to using 'folder options' to apply a folder's view and sort options to subfolders, yet the 'apply to folders' button is greyed out in libraries. Folders located in libraries also lack a customise tab in their properties. Such
a problem does not occur in folders under 'This PC', yet I would much rather use libraries as folders are always sorted to the top of the window, unlike in 'This PC'.

 

Sort Files in folders

Thank you, regretfully I must not be expressing myself clearly: Previously in W7 when I opened a Photo folder in large icon view, so that all the photos from that folder were showing, I was able to click on a photo from (for example) the bottom of the display and move it to, (for example) the top of the display or to any location in the image display, It would then stay there, not in any "sort by" protocol but just because I had randomly inserted it to the new location in that folder. I hope that I'm making things clearer. Many thanks for assistance
