Too many folders in PLEX

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops
,

Hi
I have PLEX on my PC , and my films are on a seperate HDD in a folder named Films.

Inside this folder - I have sub folders IE
Musicals
New Films
Watched films
Testing.

I look at content in all the above folders

I have bought a Dune media player , and when I find PLEX in the uPnP area , I have to then click on a folder called Video.
Music and Photos are also visible - it would be nice if I could hide them
Then in Video , I see another set of options -
IE
Movies
Video Channels
Shared Video
Remote Video
Watch Later
Recommended
Preferances

So I click on Movies

Now I have yet another load of folders IE

All Movies
Unplayed
Recently released
Recently Added
Recently View
On Deck
By Collection
By Genre
By Year
By Decade
By Director
By Staring Actor
By Counrty
By Content Rating
By Rating
By Resolution
By First Letter
By Folder.

Now I want to only really see By Folder as this shows my file structure on my HDD.

My question is this : Can I customise or hide or get rid of what I dont want to see please ?

Many thanks

Steve

No, you cannot customize the folders in the DLNA portion of Plex.

Side note: using Plex server with a DLNA client is not really using Plex .

Ok , I appreciate the answer.
However , if I am not using Plex correctly , then Im more than open to suggestion and guidance as I have never really got to grips with it

What I meant by this:
You won’t be able to use 80% of all Plex features, if you are using a generic DLNA client.
I recommend you to get a device, which has a “real” Plex client available
