[QUOTE="HTPCSourcer, post: 1185904, member: 74879"] MP2 contains an in-built movie and series management. While it may not be perfect yet, it offers basic functionalities, including episode listing and fanart display. In order to let MP2 know about series, you will need to set a directory path for series (and movies), which you have probably already seen in the setup. Series will be automatically recognized as such if stored in the respective directory [I]and[/I] if named correctly. EPG information is often not that good that you could count on a 100% detection rate. If you cut your recordings you can as well name them correctly and store the file under the correct path. A possible directory tree structure could be [FONT=Trebuchet MS]NAS/Series/"Series name"[/FONT] with each file being named like [FONT=Trebuchet MS]Series name - 1x01 - episode title, whee 1x01 stands for season 1/episode 1. Everybody has different ways of managing his or her recordings, however a complete automatic while leaving all recordings in their original directory without touching the recordings at all is IMHO unlikely to work. Note that you can set repetive recordings to comply with this file naming standard but this will always be dependetn on a good EPG quality. [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
