Filtering converted videos

[srothwell]

Is there a way to tell Sage to filter out (i.e. not show) converted videos in the same place as regular SageTV recordings?

I compress nearly everything to the PSP to watch when I'm on the road and my wife hates that there's two copies of everything when she goes to watch a show.

Thanks

bump..... Andy? What do you think here?

Unless I'm forgetting something (always possible), I don't think there is a way to filter those. You would have to submit a feature request to be able to distinguish transcoded recordings, or maybe to have a transcoded video added to the library instead of the recordings list when done.

In the TV Recordings screen, I switch to the 'Recordings' tab instead of the default 'All' tab. It keeps this setting between sessions. Then when I transcode, I go into the info page of the transcoded file and mark it as 'Archived'. The transcoded files then only show up in the Archived tab, and the video browser, not the recordings screen.

It's a manual process, but it works. Would be nice to have Sage had an archive checkbox right on the transcode screen.
