You can't do hierarchical layout in Watch Recordings. You can't specify sort order (other than by changing settings in mythfrontend setting that allow you to sort by record time or original airdate or program ID, only--versus by title, season/episode, year, rating, runtime, filename, ...). You can't do filtering on country, actors, year, runtime, rating... You /only/ get recording groups. You only get one recording group per recording. You can choose to show in the left column All Programs, titles, recording groups, and/or categories, but if you show titles, you have a ton to scroll through when your collection gets large. If you use recording groups like you said, displaying recording groups in the left means you'll have a ton to scroll through. It's /much/ more clumsy than Video Library--because Video Library was designed for working with a large collection (er, library?) of videos; whereas Watch Recordings was designed for working with a smaller set of "what was recently recorded."<br>

Really, Video Library was designed for large collections of video. If you haven't tried "the new Video Library" and are basing your opinion off old versions of MythTV, you're only making your life harder.<br>

Mike<br><br></blockquote></div><div><br>Some useful info in this thread, thanks.<br><br>On the topic of moving videos to mythvideo, I posted a while ago with maybe a slightly non-standard case:<br><ul><li>To move a recording to mythvideo with ads removed (transcoded, rather than just with a cut list)</li>
<li>To have the resulting file saved to a custom directory, rather than the default recordings directory</li></ul>Is there a way of doing this? I posted the script I was trying in the other thread, which I had no joy with. Not had much chance to look again since I last posted, so will have another look this weekend, just moved house, so a bit all over the place at the moment!!<br>
