</div></div>MythVideo hashes all videos to support retaining metadata when the<br>
file is renamed, moved, migrated to storage groups, etc. Necessarily,<br>
this means that each file will have one metadata record. Multiple<br>
identical files by different names or locations is unsupported. You<br>
may find one of the metadata browse modes to your liking, as several<br>
of them have the various genres or categories, and an "all" such that<br>
it achieves a similar effect to what you are looking for.<br>

Category might have been one (As I can create my Category), but the main issue is that you cannot control the picture of the folder. I use the picutre to clearly announce what is in the folder, having the title of the folder on the picture itself.<br>
<br>We'll see over time, if they get used to it.<br><br>Thanks for the clarification anyway.<br><br></div><div><font color="#888888"><br></font> </div></div>
