[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1167073, member: 109222"] Hi. There are only a very few container out there that can be used for DVB- recordings (mainly .ts and .wtv) but mp4 definitely is not. After you've converted the videos they are no longer "valid" recordings at all. Aside this, MCE-Buddy deletes all related metadata from the recordings during transcoding. The information about recording time, channel, description and so on are lost this way. So you don't have any benefit from using the "Recordings" section for mp4 files. The "Recordings" section is meant for "short time usage". This is like: record something, watch it and delete it. You can use recordings as source for movies/series to store (like I do very often). But then they are kept in the Movies/Series section much, much better. Let MP2 scan online for metadata on TMDB and/or TVDB so you will get a nice view with description, posters and so on. This is for "long time usage", means for "keeping" the videos. The Series section then could look like this: (sorry for German metadata) [IMG]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/attachments/zwischenablage-4-jpg.171567/[/IMG] And the Movies section like that: [IMG]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/attachments/zwischenablage-2-jpg.173114/[/IMG] Just an example from my own theme, there are lots and lots of possibilities to have your media presented nicely...
