seperate recording location for movies and TV

[thecubasekid]

Hi Everyone, 

title says it all... is there a way i can have nextpvr use different (smb share) folders for recording TV shows and Movies, using the metadata it got when grabbing the artwork or similar?

i want to set Kodi to import recordings to its library, but i cant set content to be both movies and TV in the same source in Kodi. i tried setting two separate sources to the same folder in kodi, one using host and set as TV and one using IP set as Movies, but it does not work well with some movies scanning as TV shows and vice verse when i update library.

i read the wiki about secondary paths and archive option or manually selecting path when initiating a recording, that would work, but i am hoping to automate having two locations it so it just 'happens'. anything more than just hitting record is too much to ask of my young kids (and wife!)

Thanks!

It becomes automated after you add the other directories in the web GUI and update the recording rules to point to the appropriate directory, assuming your rule differentiates movies and TV shows.

thanks Martin,

i never looked at the rules before, only selected items from the EPG in Kodi to record. i will check it out...

They are on Kodi timers too, but if you haven't defined any it will show Default greyed out.
