Storage groups for video library
G'day all,

I have 4 disks containing video of various items.

/sg/tv1
/sg/tv2
/sg/tv3
/sg/tv4

What is the best way to have these setup for viewing on the frontend.

Whatever library view I use it seems to flatten out all the sub
directories, if I have:
/sg/tv1/show_season_1/s01e01
/sg/tv1/show_season_1/s01e02
...
I have to scroll through all the single files. It does not respect
folders, so not very useful. (not helped by multiple shows possibly
being called s01e01.??

I have to use the slow method (directory scan?) which is slow and I have
to build a directory full of sym links to make it worl..

Any ideas? Maybe I have it all setup incorrectly.

Sounds like you have the 'Hide Directory Structure' option enabled.
Disable that and I think you will be good to go.

Instructions:
* In mythvideo pull up the menu.
* Select 'Change View'.
* Select 'Show Directory Structure'.

Thanks, I already have that and don't get the dir. structure :-(
Maybe my config is incorrect somewhere?
