Issue in opening folders

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am using PS3 Media Server v1.03 on Windows Vista.

My problem is that the PS3 can't open certain folders through the PS3 
Media Server.

I have found that past the 7th level of folder, it cannot view/play files 
inside that folder, or open that folder at all.

For example, this is how far the PS3 Media Server allows me to go when 
browsing on the PS3:
C:\Users\Myname\Desktop\AFolder\BFolder\CFolder

If there are folders in "CFolder", such as a hypothetical "DFolder" I can 
see them, but I can't open them. I can play files in "CFolder", but 
because I can't get inside "DFolder" I can't play any files in it or go 
further. On my PS3, when I select "DFolder", nothing happens at all. It 
makes the click noise but sits there and does not open the folder. I can 
open all folders and play all files below this 7th level of folder.

I have also tested this. I copied a video file and put it in different 
levels of folders and it was able to be seen and played at all levels, 
except when past the "CFolder" level. 

I also made a folder and put some videos inside it and put this folder in 
different levels of folders. Once again, it was able to be seen, opened 
and played at all levels, except when the folder resided inside 
the "CFolder" level. Here, I was able to see the folder name, but was 
unable to use the PS3 to get inside the folder and play the files.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks for any help in advance.

I have this same problem even with the newest version of pmediaserver. Is there 
any fix for this in the app's settings?

It's a PS3 limitation:
