[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1199244, member: 109222"] Hi. It is possible that, if you have moved the recordings including the metadata file (same name as the video file but with xml extension) to your series or movies share. MP2 tries to read any type of text, nfo and xml file next to a video file to help identifying it. This gives an perfect match if those files are correct. MP2 recordings are normal videos in the .ts container but have such xml files next to them, containing the channel, the date and time the recording was done and much more information. The existence of such xml files with "recording content" is a signal for MP2 telling "this video is a recording". If those xml files do not exist or contain other data, the video simply is a video. Another possibility is, if you have "old" WMC recordings in wtv or dvr-ms container. As those two container only are used for WMC recordings they are also identified as recordings, no matter if they are in the recordings source or somewhere else. So the recordings are recognized as recordings not only in the recordings folder but in every video source. To get rid of them you only need to delete those xml files in your series source, only keeping them in the "real" recordings folder. For old WMC recordings it is a tiny bit more work. Then you need to get rid of the wtv (or dvr-ms) container. This can be done by simply remuxing them to e.g. Matroska (.mkv) This is easy and fast. It only takes a few seconds to remux a video from wtv to mkv and you can use various tools to do so. A very comfortable tool to do such is MKV-Buddy (link in my signature).... When you are finished with this operations you can trigger a reimport of your sources to see the result instantly or you can wait for the nightly automatic reimport. You also can have this the other way round, if you like. If you have set up custom file path and name in TV configuration that includes separate folder for one time recordings and recurring recordings (e.g. "My Recordings\Series\XXXXXX" and "My Recordings\Movies\XXXXXX") then all recurring series are imported in "recordings" and in "series" and all one time only recordings are imported into "recordings" and "movies". If you don't have such separate folders all recordings are only imported as recordings so a user easily can decide if he wants this behavior or not. [/QUOTE]
