[mythtv-users] Video storage groups question....

[stinga]

G'day all,

I struggle with video storage groups.

I have 4 drives and each drive shows up as 4  separate dirs when I go to 
videos.
This makes it hard when you want to watch something as you need to know 
what disk it is on.

I suspect I am not setting it up correctly.

To get around this, I am creating a dir that is full of links to the 
original storage groups, but this takes a while to populate and does not 
seem to be correct to me.

I was sort of expecting a similar thing to recorded shows, where mythtv 
provides a list of things to watch and I don't need to care what disk 
they are on...

Any help for me? Am I setting up something incorrectly?

MariaDB [mythconverg]> select * from storagegroup;
+----+-----------+----------+--------------+
| id | groupname | hostname | dirname      |
+----+-----------+----------+--------------+
| 67 | Videos    | mythtv   | /sg/mv1      |
| 83 | Videos    | mythtv   | /sg/movies   |
|  5 | Fanart    | mythtv   | /sg/fanart   |
| 69 | Videos    | mythtv   | /sg/mv2      |
| 65 | Default   | mythtv   | /sg/tv2/tv/  |
| 66 | Default   | mythtv   | /sg/tv3/tv/  |
| 77 | Coverart  | mythtv   | /sg/coverart |
| 10 | LiveTV    | mythtv   | /sg/live_tv  |
| 81 | Videos    | mythtv   | /sg/mv4/     |
| 82 | Videos    | mythtv   | /sg/mv3/     |
+----+-----------+----------+--------------+

The DB is years old and comes originally from KnoppMyth so has been 
through a few changes in its lifetime and on various machines.
