TV Guide: how to choose destination folder?

[reedmikel]

When choosing to record programs using TV Guide, how can I select what folder the recordings are saved in? I'd like it to offer me the the same folders that I created with the My Videos plugin, but there are no "settings" for the standard TV Guide that comes with GB-PVR.

So I guess TV Guide uses the location entered for "Recordings Directory" from the Directories tab of the Config program? Then it creates a folder named with the same title as the program to be recorded, then lastly writes the recorded MPG file to this folder. AND the MPG filename is also the name of the program. So if I selected to record a program named "Program Name" from TV Guide, it would store it in x:\Recordings Directory\Program Name\Program Name_date_<starttime><endtime>". Why does it create the extra folder - I'm confused about this?

TIA,

You are correct as to how/where the recordings are stored. I'm not sure what extra folder you are referring to. The "Program Name" folder? That way all episodes of a show are in the same folder. CSI episodes in one folder, Law & Order in another, etc.

If you dont want this behaviour, you can unselect the 'auto create folders when recording' option in the config app.

I was confused because I was expecting the TV Guide plug-in to know about the video folders I created with the My Videos plug-in. But now I realize there is very little integration between plug-ins...

Knowing that, now I understand why TV Guide creates a folder for every program/series you record...
