Travis,
    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.
    
    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.
    
    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.
    
    Even if you could tell Jamu that the video file is a TV Series it 
still needs a season and episode number.
    
    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.
    
Doug
