[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1192665, member: 141969"] This is exactly how I organise my radio and TV recordings. I have 2,400 radio recordings, 13,000 TV recordings, and 2,300 films :eek: :eek: :eek:. I use the "Recorded TV" and "Recorded Radio" folders to accumulate recordings during the week. Then, any recordings which I am not going to watch or listen to in the next seven days I move to a folder tree in the "Videos" section. The folder tree allows [b]me[/b] to choose how I want to arrange the recordings. One of the things that annoyed me about WMC was that although you could specify multiple separate folders to store recordings, WMC insisted on "flattening" the folder trees and presenting them as a single level. Ugh! Sadly, MP's "Recorded TV" and "Recorded Radio" folders [b]completely ignore[/b] nested folders, so you cannot create a folder tree there. :( One caution: in the "Videos" section: (1) The resume point for partially watched TV recordings [b]is[/b] remembered. (2) The resume point for partially listened-to radio recordings [b]is not[/b] remembered (playback will always start from the beginning). Unfortunately, hardly anyone records radio from DVB-T. So radio is treated as the ugly sister that no one wants to take to the party, and keeps getting left behind when enhancements are made to the staggeringly attractive TV sister. In this case, an action was added to the "Recorded TV" panel so that users can manually clean-up dead entries in the database. (If you use the "DefaultWide" skin, press LEFT on the "Recorded TV" panel to get to the left side-bar; one of the selections there is "Clean Up".) This "Clean Up" action [b]was not[/b] added to the "Recorded Radio" panel. :( So with TV you never get clean-up by default, but with radio you always get clean-up by default. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
