importing other TV recordings into archive

[Belgrath]

Hi all,

So I've done a few recordings in another PVR software package and have since seen the errors of my ways. I'd like to import these recordings into the SageTV archive in order to keep them all together in one location. Is there a way that I can do this? Or am I only going to have access to these via the Imported Videos option.

Second question: Is there a way in which I can create folders in the existing imported video menu, or is there an addon that would give me more flexibility here...

Many thanks ahead of time,
Belg

Check out this thread: Importing old BTV recordings into Sage 5.04.

Check the Video Library section of the v5.0 manual - there is info about how it automatically imports from subfolders, starting on p. 92. You have to create the folders & add the videos outside SageTV for that.
