video directory browsing?

[jughead]

well, i'm sure there's a thread on this but i can't find it...

i've imported my video files which are organized by directory. when i use sage to view "imported video files" i have to page down past 400 or so video clips before i get to my movies. what a pain! also the path names are so long that i can't read many of them.

can i view them by diectory instead of this giant list?

Starting with SageTV 2.1 you have a folder browsing Video Library with cover art. What version are you using?

cool i think i have 2.0.20... maybe. i'll need to check but i know it's not the latest. i hadn't updated bc things are finally workin somewhat smooth, ya know? is it not an option on earlier versions?

Not with the default STV. There are version 2.0 STV's though that have this.

If you go to 2.1 I would recommend not starting out running it as a service. This can be difficult to configure.

ok, i'll give one of those a shot. thanks for the 2.1 tip too, i'll keep it in mind when i eventually upgrade.

thanks for turnin me on to those STV's mlbdude. they're a great impovement over the default! seems very stable so far too.
