<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">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/ |
+----+-----------+----------+--------------+

I suspect you still have per frontend settings for video directories. To find out, go to the following from the main menu on your frontend:
Setup -> Media Settings -> Videos Settings -> General Settings
Once there, you will see things like:
Directories that hold videos
Directory that holds movie trailers
...
All of these "Directory/Directories that hold" settings should be blank. If they are not, they override your storage group settings. To fix each one that's not blank, use a keyboard, select each non-blank entry, press Enter, erase the contents using backspace, cursor down to OK, press Enter. Once that's done, I suggest doing a rescan from the command line:
$ mythutil --scanvideos
Wait until your system's cpu is 99% idle, then go into "Watch Videos".

I have no overrides.<br>
My storagegroup table above is correct or should it be a comma
separated list or something?<br>
<br>
I have another thought, maybe I should make my link dir the stoarge
group?<br>
All the info about SGs seems to refer to live recording and that
works just fine, I have 2 disks and it works.<br>
