[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1263225, member: 109222"] Hi. In MP2 all "one time only" recordings are treated as a "movie" and all "recurring" recordings are treated as "Series". If you want to recognize those as series or movies you need to define different sub- folders for both types of recordings. Means you have one recordings folder but in "custom path and filename" you need to define sub- folders for both types, Example how this could look for movies: [ATTACH=full]202820[/ATTACH] At first there is a static (means with a fixed name, no variables used here) folder named "movies". This is the same for all movies. Then there is another folder with name and year of the movie. This is different for every movie. In there finally the recording can be found. It's he same naming scheme that I use for cleaned movies in my library... For series you also need to define this sub-folder (a different one than the movies sub- folder of course) [ATTACH=full]202819[/ATTACH] If those folders are "static" then MP2 automatically imports both types accordingly. To have the same effect in Kodi you need to define 2 video sources, one for movies pointing to the "movies sub-folder" and one for series pointing to the "Series sub-folder". As long as you record all your series with "recurring" recordings and your moves as one time only everything is working as it should. Only the online lookup can be a bit of an issue, if the TV station don't name their program properly (happens very often here in Germany). With "wrong" names the movies/series can't be found during online lookup... I'm using Kodi 18.4 together with MediaPortal 2.1.3 for TV. It's working flawlessly and opposite to the MP1 "standalone" TV server you don't need to install a full blown MySQL database server only to serve the tiny little TVE database... [/QUOTE]
