Perhaps there's some orderly reason why one would put movies and TV in the same folder (compatability with other media players perhaps?), but the most common reason is because people like to download scene releases of movies and tv shows into one big 'dump' directory and either not want to rename them so they can share them, or they can't be bothered sorting and cleaning them.You mean deja vu of xbmc?
In xbmc you have to set content type for each added folder manually jsut like in mp2. I don't like such all-in-one setup. What if one folder contains both movies and series?
In mp1 you setting watched folder inside mp-tvseries and moving pistures so you can manage tvseries and movies db separetely.
MP doesn't appear to be designed to cater to people that won't invest minimal time in sorting the stuff they download. That's what Windows Explorer is for, isn't it?
