Video Titles/DVD's/folders

[Toddupton]

I installed Sagetv 7 and in videos then folders DVD's do not show up only .avi's I have to select DVD/BD to get to my ripped DVD's and in this the avi's don't show up. Is there a way to make everything show up. Titles will not show everything either. What am I doing wrong?

I've got the same problem, so I doubt you're doing anything wrong.
On my setup, DVD/BDs shows all DVD rips using VOBs in folders.
Titles shows individual ISO, AVI, and mpeg files.

I too would like an option to display BOTH in the same list.

The FOLDERS view should show both... its the view I use and I can see all my AVI's and DVD VOB folders/files in the same view.

Yup, you're right...just discovered it on my own while browsing Sage7 features.
Thanks!

I had a similar question in another thread....

Can I display DVDs/BDs in the same view as Titles... I like the synopsis/fanart you get in titles, so prefer that view over folder view, however I hate having to browse to dvds/bds to get a list of my DVDs.

any ideas??

No, for me the folder view does NOT show DVD's it only shows other files. Anyone know why?

imstillme2, did you look at the very bottom of your folder list? For some reason I've noticed some DVDs/blurays sort different than the folder name provided and drop to the end of the list.

Yep, I've noticed that too... why is that?? not a big fan of this - I prefer DVDs to obey by the sorting rules for the rest of the titles.

I played arou d with my media files tonight and I think I see why the sort for folder view is so strange. It appears that the sort is taking into account whether or not the files are in folders or not. I store all my tv movies in their own folders to keep the edl and properties files apart...not really required but it makes it look neater. I do the same for DVDs/bluray. So for the tv movie commando the path is p:\movies\commando\commando.ts and for the Anastasia DVD the path is p:\movies\Anastasia\Video_ts. Currently that ends up with a sort where commando comes before anastasia. I think that's because sage knows to ignore the videots folder and thus sees 3 steps to get to commando and only 2 for the DVD. I renamed the videots folder to get p:\movies\Anastasia\Anastasia and rescanned and that moved Anastasia up into the expected slot as opposed to being at the bottom with a bunch of other DVDs/blurays. I also tried moving commando out of the folder to get p:\movies\commando.ts and rescanned and verified that moved commando to the bottom of the list with all the DVDs/bluray. I'm not sure if this is a bug or by design. I don't mind moving all my shows out of their folders but that does present an issue where any sets will show up out of alphabetical order. For instance I have all the Harry potters on DVD in a folder as such...p:\movies\Harry Potter\Harry Potter 1\video_ts, p:\movies\Harry Potter\Harry Potter 2\video_ts and so on and those DVDs show up in the top list of video recordings...not in the bottom list with all the other DVDs. If I shorten comma do to match anastia then Harry potter will come before both. I guess the other option is to add a folder level to all DVDs/bluray to get them to move up. I'm thinking this has to be a bug though...I'll file it and see how that goes.

I have the opposities problem. My titles wont go away. I added 3 folders to my video imports.

Removed one. It no longer shows up in folder view.

But if i go to titles, they contents of the removed folder is still there! How do i get rid of it??

[ma22xx]

I've had something similar in the past...only way I was able to clear was to remove the import folders completely, rescan, and add the import back, then rescan again.

And, to the OP, I believe there is a plugin to bring the DVDs and BDs into the Titles view.

Is .iso DVD supported for v7? I thought I read something about .iso? Maybe that was for Bluray only?

[Fuzzy]

yes.. You'll have to read the patch notes, but I believe you have to install Virtual Clone Drive or something like that on the server for sage to mount the iso with.
