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?

    fixed the episode naming above ^. There was no error in the naming of the file itself. Every time I enter TV Series, it tries to re-scan the episodes. The series appears for just a few seconds and disappears again.

    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1
