I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to sort files added to the WD TV Live Hub like a DVR would. For example, I would add a TV show, it would be added to a group of the same TV show, then the group would show at the top of the list. Then, I would add a movie, and it would show before the aforementioned TV show. Then I would add an episode of another TV show, and it would get grouped with that show and would show before the movie, etc. Does anyone know of a way for the Hub to do that?
If you set Media Library to ON and if you use Get Info,
you can use Filter to set it to TV Show and than all your TV Shows will be grouped in separated folder based on name of TV Show + by Seasons 
Yeah, that’s how I currently have it, but I would like to have my movies intermingled throughout the TV shows, instead of having to filter on just TV shows or just movies.
sounds like you should turn media library off
and just browse by file/folder
as a secondary option
you can edit the xml’s to create any media library genre you like
I usually batch edit with notepad++
How do you do that? Is there any step-by-step procedure of doing that? Currently, TV show/series messing up my Comedy genre. Thanks.
You can have Media Library ON and set Filter to Folders?
When you open Videos menu, press green button on your remote.
Thanks. I know that one… My problem is
For Example: Glee TV series is categorized as comedy genre. So, in my comedy genre, all 3 seasons of Glee are in and very tedious to scroll through pages just to find other movies.
That’s why I want TV shows Generes just to show all TV shows.
<genre>TV Comedy</genre> Would that work in the.xml?
I don’t think manually editing the xml genre would help accomplish what I’m trying to do, but it did give me an idea. I edited the xml of a movie and added <series_name>Movie</series_name>, which gave me a group when filtering on TV shows called “Movie”, and it shows the thumbnail of the movie, but when I select it it says “There is no media in the current folder.” All of my movies are in a “Movies” folder on the drive, and all my TV shows are in show folders on the drive, so could that be stopping the movie from showing? I’m not sure why it would, though, since the whole point of the media library is to compile videos from all folders. Is there any other way to make it think that a movie is an episode of a TV show? The movie doesn’t show up when filtering on just movies anymore, so I think I’m on the right track.
actually manually editing the xml’s would accomplish what you want
<genre>Glee</genre>
this would create a new Genre called Glee and only items in that genre would be displayed
if you want items to show up in mutliple categories
then make multiple genre lines in the xml
so maybe use you
<genre>TV</genre>
<genre>Comedy</genre>
so that it would display in both the TV & Comedy Genre
you can create whatever Genre’s you want
I personally have the following
Action
Drama
Comedy
Cartoons
Seasame
TV
Nature
@kad79 Sorry, are you replying to me or Daniel? He’s asking a different question than what I originally asked. I don’t want to sort all my shows by genre. @DanielWinn Maybe it would be helpful to start your own thread
I figured it out! You just have to add:
<series_name>Movies</series_name>
<season_number>All</season_number>
to the XML of the movie, refresh the media library, and the movies will show up under show name “Movies”"Season All" when filtering your media library on TV shows. No more jumping back and forth! :smileyvery-happy:
