I didn't use storage groups as I was migrating an existing setup and all the MythVideo stuff is mounted over the network via NFS. I wasn't sure how the system would behave with that setup. I also have them in a directory tree I like, but I've been working on using metadata so I can have more options for display, sorting, etc.. For WAF, I need to move things somewhat slowly to make the transition. <br>
<br>Can storage groups work with an existing library like this? I don't want to move the files to a local disk, I have a nice file server I store all this on. There's also the fact that they don't work with ISO files, but I don't have many of those and I don't mind converting them to MKV files. <br>

If you had of used Storage Groups for your initial image directories then the videometadata records would have just stored the graphics file name and changing or moving the base directory would have been trivial.<br>
You still do not need to re-download all you graphics. Move your graphics to the directory you really want them. Change your settings to make sure they point to the correct directories. Then either use MythVideo or Jamu to update videometadata records with the correct graphics location. Neither MythVideo nor Jamu will re-download graphics if they are already downloaded.<br>
The reason Jamu mistakes some TV Series videos as Movies is because of the video filename. Specifically it cannot parse the season and episode number from the video filename. You have three choices (1) The videos that Jamu thinks are movies, skip by hitting "'q' and enter" during an interactive session and use MythVideo to see if it can determine that the file is a TV episode; (2) Rename the file to a more standard format that either MythVideo or Jamu can recognise; (3) Add your own regex sting to a jamu.conf file. There are instructions in the "jamu-example.conf" file section "[regex]" located at the end of the file.<br>
Even if you could tell Jamu that the video file is a TV Series it still needs a season and episode number.<br>
Another option is to edit the metadata within MythVideo itself, adding the TVDB reference number, season and episode numbers. Then press "w" so that MythVideo will retrieve the metadata and graphics.<br>
