[mythtv-users] MythVideo - Can you set the default directory for the video browser?

[Jon]

I Believe he's talking about using videolist even though he said
browsing, because I have the same problem,  I never mentioned it here
before because its really not a big deal.  But I do notice it.  I have
my directories setup the same way, /var/lib/mythvideo/anime movies tv
and extra
and mythvideo points to /var/lib/mythvideo, for some reason when i load
videolist its automatically selected /var/lib/mythvideo/tv/file.avi or
whatever,  I'm not really sure why.  I even have a few movie files in my
/var/lib/mythvideo root directory.   When i'm using the video browser it
browses in alphabetical order, which seems fine and logical to me,  I
have no problems with that.
