JimH:
You can use directory names to fill tags.  See the auto import settings.

Also, take a look at Carnac:  https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Carnac

MC does the same, but it's possible that importing WTV files doesn't.

Experimenting with this further it seems I can customise ‘recent’ in theatre view and I can get it in the order I want by selecting Date Recorder as the first field BUT I then lose the program title as it has a date and time instead. If I add ‘series’ as the first item I then get the program name but bad sorting.
Just spent half an hour on this - what am I missing here???
The recorded date and name fields are correct in library list view

You don't need to change anything for importing.  Go to Tools > Options > Theater View.

Click "Recent" under "Video\Shows".  Then click "Set rules for file display..." at the bottom-right of the window.  On the resulting window, you see under "Modify Results" there is one modifier:  Sort By Date Imported (z-a)

Remove "Date Imported (z-a)", and click Add..., choose "Descending (Z to A)" > "Date Recorded"

What you tried was to categorize the shows by date recorded.  That is why you get a date for each listed item, instead of a name.  You then have to select a date to get into it, then you will see all shows recorded on that particular date.

Perfect, after tidying up a few very old, unplayable files with corrupt dates that I didn’t know about it’s fixed the problem. Thanks very much!
All I need now is to be able to switch soundtracks and I think basic pvr functionality is sorted, and it’s on to Comskip
