I would like a way for NextPVR to automatically divide up recordings into folders named after the call-sign of the channel they were recorded on.

At the very least, it could be a check-box option that works like the Seasons folder option, so paths would end up as:

<Recording Directory> / <Channel Call-Sign> / <Show Name> / Season <#> / <Recording File>

For example, with a recently aired episode of The Good Doctor:

E:/NextPVR/RecordedTV/KTRK-HD/The Good Doctor/Season 06/The.Good.Doctor.S06E16.The.Good.Lawyer.ts

This would be the bare minimum that I'd like see implemented.

A better options would be a versatile system allowing users to specify a custom path format with keywords.
Something like this could be entered into the Recording Directory setting and NextPVR would be able to parse it, and it would result in the above example:

E:/NextPVR/RecordedTV/%CHANNEL%/%SHOW%/%SEASON%/

This could allow for different orders, as well as divisions by other properties, such as year and month the recording was made, like this:

E:/NextPVR/RecordedTV-%YEAR%-%MONTH%/%SHOW%/%CHANNEL%/%SEASON%/

And this would be a result of NextPVR parsing that with the above example:

E:/NextPVR/RecordedTV-2023-03/The Good Doctor/KTRK-HD/Season 06/The.Good.Doctor.S06E16.The.Good.Lawyer.ts

Again, this would be the better option, but I'll settle for just a check-mark that divides everything into Channel super-folders alongside the existing option that divides them into Season subfolders.

I think we have already discussed your unique "personal use" of NextPVR https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=58507 and this seems like one more niche request where recordings aren't even being used in NextPVR. Most users view files not file systems.

For users with a normal number of recurring recordings they could create recording directories with the callsign and use that with the recurring directory. You could do that as well.

Note I did write a utility called rrimport which would probably do what you want in post processing. https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=63510 I didn't upgrade it to v6 since it is such a niche product.
