Movie file name and path

[sfatula]

Can't find the setting, if any.... I have advanced manual timers whereby I record all channels on 6 networks every night during prime time. This works great. Each manual timer with SQL to select via time, has it's own name, and therefore the files get stored in:

d:\TV Shows\Recordings\Prime Time CW for example.

EXCEPT movies. They seem to get stored in d:\TV Shows\Recordings\MovieName (year)\MoveName (year).ts

Is there a setting somewhere where I can keep movie names the same as TV shows and also store in the directories with them? It appears movies are being stored in a subfolder, AND, also are not going to the manual time directory (I specify the NAME in the manual timer so it goes to the channel subdirectory as noted in the example path above), just the default directory.

All metadata is turned off on the misc2 settings screen, and, under settings -> Recording, file naming, Use S01E01... is on, as well as use Movie Name (Year). Perhaps that setting also causes it to go into its own folder in addition to ignoring the manual time directory? I can't find any real doc on what that setting actually does?

You found the setting. Turn off the "Use Movie Name (Year) format" option.

You're doing something a bit unanticipated (not wrong or crazy, just neither planned for nor tested), so it's no surprise that the naming logic is working in an unanticipated manner too. You're right on the docs, no one is really updating the Wiki for the bigger changes over the past couple of releases.

Thanks, will try turning it off and see what happens next time a movie is recorded. Doc is always hard to keep up with!
