Question about the "Short" tag (for Video files)

(1/2) > >>

macdonjh:
I just ripped several cartoons, which I saved where all my TV Show files are stored and <imported> into my Library.  The data base didn't find when I tagged them as Video -> TV Show and then used <Get Movie & TV Data>.  When I re-tagged them as Video -> Short, they were found by the data base.  What's weird is they don't appear in the Tree.  This is after a day, so there's been plenty of time for my Library to update itself and display everything.

So this begs the question: does Media Center display files <tagged> "Short" in a different place in the Tree than Shows?  All the video files I have tagged "TV Show" appear in the Tree under Video -> Shows.

JimH:
Try setting the tag called Media Subtype.

zybex:
Video -> Shows obviously only shows files tagged as "TV Show". "Short" is just another tag, filtered out on that view. Just change the tag back to "TV Show" after doing the Get TV&Movie Info if you want them to show up there. Or change the View filter to also include "Short" subtype.

I thought of that, but now I know about some of the inner workings of Media Center.

macdonjh:
I think I am on the right track, but I've run into an obstacle I can't get around.

I went to View -> Customize View -> Included Files -> Set Rules for File Display

I used <add rule> and used Set Media Sub-type, but the only choices were "TV Show" and "empty".  How do I add "Short" to the list of available tags to use for inclusion/ sorting?
