MC18 falsely identifies as tv shows.
« on: September 14, 2013, 01:16:11 am »

Hello,

MC18 falsely identifies some video files as TV shows and I don't know how to correct it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Depending on what your folder structure is, you can set up auto-import rules which specify the Media Sub Type.

For example, all my videos go into:
\Videos\Downloads\
\Videos\New\
\Videos\Seen\
\Videos\TV\


I have auto-import set to watch \Videos\, and use a rule which sets the Media Sub Type for the TV folder to "TV Shows", the Downloads folder to "Other", and any other folder (New/Seen) is set to "Movie".

Code: [Select]
if(isequal([Filename (path)],TV,8),TV Show,
if(isequal([Filename (path)],Downloads,8),Other,
Movie))

The Wiki may help clarify this: isequal(…)

You could also edit the Media Subtype tag manually.  MC will put it in the right place then.

That's true, but library management should be as "hands-off" as possible, in my opinion.

Thank you both for helpful suggestions.
I was finally able to locate the media subtype tag and also find a possibility to set rules in auto export.
I do feel slightly silly now :-[
