how can I pull in multiple folders and show their content in 'Recorded TV'? I offload the recorded content nightly to a secondary location but I still want them to be avail to 'Recorded TV'. Thanks!

    notdesigned for that. use my tv series plugin.
    or use the tv management plugin to move recordings automatically.
    you can manually import moved recordings in tvserver config.
    or you can create sym links.

    I am using my tv series and it works well but some one-off recordings don't appear there. Am I missing a configuration setting?

    that's what I was thinking but I think this is expected it. Not all shows I recorded will have corresponding season and episode information. Does that mean I can't bring them in to my tv series?

    I do precisely this with my old recordings. I set the recording folder of the tuner with the lowest priority (and therefore least likely to be used) to an 'archive' folder so that its contents appear in Recorded TV.

    Ingenious idea, so long as you have lots of tuners:)

    Any way to make a fake tuner and then disable it to fool the old MP?

The primary genre might be something like Film (or Movie in the USA). The secondary genre for Film might be something like: Action, Comedy, Crime, Fantasy, Romance, Science...

    Well, I had already recognized your problem, but I still wanted to point out the basic connections once again. Unfortunately, I don't have a fundamentally different solution for you, but with this approach you should achieve your goal. ;) The idea of first setting the current genre colors with the defines is certainly a good one, as...

The TV Server parts of MP1 and MP2 start when the system boots, and TV Server runs all of the time, even when it is not recording and live TV is not being viewed. If both TV Servers were active, they...
