I Believe he's talking about using videolist even though he said
browsing, because I have the same problem, I never mentioned it here
before because its really not a big deal. But I do notice it. I have
my directories setup the same way, /var/lib/mythvideo/anime movies tv
and extra
and mythvideo points to /var/lib/mythvideo, for some reason when i load
videolist its automatically selected /var/lib/mythvideo/tv/file.avi or
whatever, I'm not really sure why. I even have a few movie files in my
/var/lib/mythvideo root directory. When i'm using the video browser it
browses in alphabetical order, which seems fine and logical to me, I
have no problems with that.
