[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1263223, member: 141969"] I use MP1, but my understanding is that MP1 and MP2 use the same "TV Server" code, although packaged differently (so you cannot use an MP1 TV Server from an MP2 client, or vice versa). As far as I know, TV Server has no understanding of the nature of what it is recording. What it [i]does[/i] distinguish is the type of recording request -- either a single ("one off") recording or a repeated ("series") recording. You can specify the recording location on this panel in "TV Server Config": [URL="https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/Recording#Recording-Custompathsandfilenames"]Recording[/URL] Notice that for the first drop-down menu, it shows [b]Movies (manual or single type recordings)[/b]. The use of the word [b]Movies[/b] here is misleading, as TV server does not know when it is recording a movie. So, I think that the only choices that you have are: (1) Store all one-off recordings in the same folder. (2) Store repeated recordings in a different folder for each recording request (by using folder notation with substitutions in the template). I record quite a few one-off documentaries, which (of course) are stored in the same folder as movies, since that is the only capability that TV Server provides. It may be that MP2 provides some post-processing to identify movies using information from the EPG or downloaded from the internet, but I have never used MP2 so cannot advise. However I am fairly sure that TV Server does not provide this capability. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
