[mythtv-users] 0.25 Music & Videos Questions

Hi All,

I have a question regarding Play Music and Play Videos.

1.  The “Show Directory Structure”  option does not appear to be honored 
when “Browse By –> TV / Movie” is selected.  For example, I have several 
work out DVD rips (Insanity, P90X, etc) under a “Workout” directory in my 
Videos Storage Group.  When I choose my “Browse By” option as “TV/Movie”, 
all the individual Insanity and P90X DVDs are mixed in with the rest of the 
“movies” and there is no “Workout” folder for me to navigate to, regardless 
of the “Show / Hide Directory Structure” setting.  I would expect to see 
Movies -> Workout -> Insanity -> Individual Rips when "Show Directory 
Structure" is selected.  TV shows however are all contained in Show –> 
Season –> Episode structures.  Is this a bug, or by design?

2.  I go into music and EVERY time after a reboot of the frontend, I get the 
“You have not selected any tracks” message.  So, every time I navigate to 
the album I was listening to, Select –> Replace All and I’m good to 
go....until the next reboot.  I even tried Playlist Options –> Save to 
Current Playlist last time with no results, still “No tracks selected” today 
when I booted up the frontend.  What exactly is it that I have to do to have 
Play Music retain my previously selected tracks?

3.  I have the same "Music Location" mounted on all my frontends; they ALL 
have a /media_storage/Music directory (mounted vis samba from the MBE for 
remote machines).  If I do a music scan from any frontend other than the one 
I originally did it with, I end up with duplicate track listings in "Select 
Music" on all frontends.  Again, is this a setting / new configuration I'm 
missing, or a bug?

Thanks,
Scott
