Recorded TV view (2 Viewers)

[pahunt]

Hi,

I'm a recent convert from Windows Media Center and I'm very impressed with what I've seen so far. However I'm having a problem that I am hoping someone can solve. I have managed to get my Windows Media Center recordings into the Media Portal Recorded TV database but no matter what view I choose I cannot get the files to display in the way I want. The closest I can get to what I want is to sort by Title but I still have 2 issues with this view.

Firstly series with multiple episodes are put before series that only have a single episode, I would like these to be sorted by Title regardless of the number of episodes.

The second problem is that when I go into a series that has multiple episodes, I would like the list to show me the episode name and not just the title of the series again.

Have I missed some configuration options or is what I want not possible?

Thanks,

Paul

Hi there,

Depending on the number of series/episodes you have, I might suggest you use TVSeries instead of trying to utilise RecordedTV.

It will all come down to their filenames.

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply. Yes I have looked at TVSeries but my problem is that my media center recordings do not store the season and episode number in their metadata and so it would be a lot of work to find the correct details and name the files in a such a way so that they would be picked up. I guess I was hoping for an easier solution.

I have managed to solve problem 2 by switching the layout to "Big Icon View" and importing the episode name into the genre field. It would be nice to have a solution for problem 1 as well but I can live with that for the moment.

Thanks for the help.
