OK, so here’s the situation.
I have a shared called “media”
It has several directory structures:
DVD<genre><Disc Image>
iTunes Music<iTunes structure>
Books\
MKV\
WMV\
The “DVD” folder works, but I have purchased many seasons of TV shows and media doesn’t support TV shows on DVD. Bummer, but can I exclude them then? That way they won’t show up and drive me crazy when they get mis-categorized 
Similarly, the “iTunes Music” folder works, but it doesn’t handle two things properly:
-
It doesn’t seem to read the file metadata, so it tries to file the movie based on the filename, not on the file’s metadata. This is annoying!
-
It doesn’t seem to know what a music video is. This is a bit funny, because C Lo Green’s “Fuck You” video came up as “Young People Fucking”. Which I hadn’t heard of before. I was a bit surprised
I’d like to be able to restrict filetypes in a particular directory, or to restrict some directories from being scanned at all (or to have a way to easily clean them up/remove them from the media player if they do get scanned incorrectly)
What do you think?
PS: a document describing how DVD files should be labeled (there’s good docs on tv show names, but not on VIDEO_TS naming) would be great!
Or a wiki and we can add it for you
