Would it be safe for me to delete any entries in the above - if you see the
highlighted yellow - it is still somehow pulling up my Videos group - and
this resonates with what I am seeing. Only the "Movie" videos, not my
collection of TV shows (not the recording but DVD rips of my fav shows for
easier access)

Also - not sure how/why there are multiple entries of same groups - example
Music - one is listed under the "mythmaster" name and another under the IP
address. Would love some help here so I can get to the root cause of this
issue.

Thank you!
