Movie Organization is Aggrivating me!
OK,
I guess I'm still in the 'honeymoon' phase since its only been a month since I've purchased Sage, but certain things drive me nuts. I have over 500 movies recorded from my years with BeyondtV, and I keep them safe on a network storage device. Now under sage, all those are found in VIDEOS section. However, any new movies I record under sage are found in my TV section, which is just fine...but even after I've transferred the actual file from the recorded location to my network drive, its still in the TV section. This just doesn't seem right. I'd like to clear out this TV RECORDINGS list. If I move a file from the recorded location to the network drive, I wish it would also move from TV RECORDINGS to VIDEO FOLDERS....is that too much to ask?

There are lots of options for changing this - perhaps the best is to use the Diamond UI and set up a custom movie menu item that will include both "imported" and recorded movies.

I would like to ask you to check out the SageTV PDF manual that is installed with SageTV (also available to download separately). In it, there is a section that covers the video browser, including its option to treat imported recordings as either recordings or imported videos -- see page 94 of the v7.0 manual.
I think all new users should check out the PDF manual rather than ranting about something. There are probably lots of options you are unaware of. - Andy

I think you might be able to do this in the default UI but I don't know because I never use the default UI. The plugin has tons of nice enhancements, including a movie wall and is well worth trying out.

//Kids Movie //PG13+ and I personally put the new recorded movies into the correct folder myself. now, on page 94 of the manual is says Quote:
i don't want all my videos on the network to show up under tv recordings...i want them to stay in video folders like they are...which means, if i put a tv recording in the imported directly, IT SHOULD BE LISTED IN THE VIDEO FOLDER with all the other imported videos as well, right?

Then you set that setting to treat them as Imports. the issue you are seeing is that sage embeds information in the recordings about the media. Upon importing those videos back into sage after the move/rename (you SHOULD rename the files), if it finds that embedded information, it will restore it to full recording status (if you leave the setting as default). Sage treats recording folders and import folders as the same. the only exception is that it will record to recording folders.

when i record a new movie, i want it to record to the local hard drive and be accessible through the tv recordings section...after viewed, i move the movie to the network drive and would then like it to be accessible through the video folders (imported) UPDATE: after I changed the file name, I rescanned my imported directories...now, the movies in question are duplicated in TV RECORDINGS section and they still aren't listed in VIDEO FOLDERS It makes no sense

Please read the referenced section of the manual again because you have missed that it describes an option for you to set. As we said:

are you referring to the part that says
"TV Recordings in Import Directories are:" Choice 1 is Recordings Choice 2 is Imports is this what I'm looking for? because it is set to imports and my recorded movies are still in tv recordings, not video folders...

Yes. That means that they should be showing up as imports not recordings. Try changing the option to imports and running a sage scan to see if anything changes. It won't instantly change, you have to let sage rescan.

It has to realize that they should be put in a different place. It seems it has to do with changing the location in the metadata. If you look at how BMT handles imported content you can change anything imported to recordings, but it actually has to modify the metadata to let sage know that is what is happening. Best way I can explain it.

As far as I know, changing that option will only affect newly found files in import directories, not those already imported -- they are already known, so they don't need to be updated during a new scan. You are only telling SageTV what to do with recordings it finds in import directories in the future.
So, try moving them to a non-import directory, perform a scan, wait until the scan is done, then move them back & scan again. - Andy

Maybe try using bmt to take the recording property away? If possible...
