Converting shows to a different folder and keeping the original, both in Show menu

[bigbill]

I have been testing converts from inside the sage app and its working but I am noticing something I would think is an anomaly. I convert a show to a folder that's not in any of the defined Sage folders. (basically a dropbox folder to transfer that file to my RV's DVR PC) Its seems like that dropbox folder got added to my Media Ctr Import Directories or Video recording Directories as now both versions show up in the Recordings Menu, but I do NOT see it listed in those settings. Is there a way to not add that folder so it doesn't show up in the source sagetv instance? (PC)

Thanks, Bill

Check your Detailed Setup => Customize setting
Look for: Automatically add converted videos to database
Try it being No if you have it as Yes.
Then check your Detailed Setup => General
Both Video Recording Directories and Media Center Import Directories to see if the dropbox path is there (although you said you didn't see it)
If that is the case, it is probably the Automatically add converted videos to database = Yes for those shows.

What happens if you move them to a different directory and perform a Scan? Do the duplicate entries go away?

Then put the back, do another scan and see if they come back in Sage.

GrayWolf Changing that DataBase entry to No did the trick! Thanks!!

BTW, that Dropbox folder was not defined anywhere. That DB entry made it seem like the Dropbox folder was included, but I guess the DB had an explicit path to the files.
