I have a feeling there's a way to change this in the theme files or
frontend settings.
I say this because I've got two frontends at home, the main lounge
(which is combined frontend + backend) and bedroom one, both with
completely different (self modified) themes.
I've got all my saved tv shows and movies scattered and mixed in a few
different video folders (on different drives) that are all in the
storage group.
On the lounge frontend, the videos screen does separate tv shows and
movies automatically at the top root of the browser (I can't remember
which mode my video screen is set to, list or browse etc).
This is dependent on the tv shows being organised into the folder
structure mythtv expects as per
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo_File_Parsing
On bedroom one however they are mixed together in one list, although tv
shows all appear to be a the top of the list (might be just that folders
are at the top).
I've been meaning to consolidate the two themes and get the video page
working consistently, I'll look into that hopefully tonight and get back
to you.
Cheers,
Andrew
