    I have now installed TV Server RC3 on my main system. So far it's working very well and stable.
    I use MCEBuddy for all my video conversions from .ts or .mpg into xvid or H.264 for later watching. It works great, but it doesn't look into any sub folders to the parent recording folder when searching for video files that need converting

    My question?
    When I schedule to record TV programs, it groups the recordings of the same program into folders. eg: "Dora the Explorer" comes on every Sat-Sun. Now all recording for "Dora the Explorer" go into it's own folder in my recordings folder.

    How can I stop this so it only put's the file in the one folder for all recordings, not a separate folder for each recorded program?

    1) open setuptv.exe
    2) go to recording settings
    3) open custom paths and filenames
    4) select series
    5) remove "%title% - %channel%\" from the format string (%title% - %channel%\%title% - %episode% - %date% - %start%)
