Video folders question

[lucasbuck]

I've been trying out Diamond and Phoenix, and I'm note sure if either can do something I'm wanting to do. (Both are great, I just think it's a Sage limitation).

I have video clips broken down into categories such as: birthdays, vacation, tv series (that I've saved), etc. into folders. I can go under folders and it shows those labeled folders, but it also show all my Sage TV recordings below it. Those save to sagetv\videos which isn't added on my import list, but it still pulled them. Is there any way to prevent it from lumping them in?

Also, in regards to those category folders like vacation videos. Is it possible to add menu items to main video tab that would specifically just pull up videos in that folder? Rather than navigating down to that specific folder? In other words to get to the vacation videos I have to go to 'video' on the main menu, then select the 'vacation' folder. Can I put a direct link to a specific folder on the main menu itself?

Thanks for any info!

As info... Diamond does not modify which folders you see in the base SageTV Video views like Video Folders. If you wish to exclude any folders from any of the Diamond specific Flows/Views then Diamond has an Include/Exclude Folder filter function... see the Wiki for more info.

As to base SageTV views... if you post your structure for internal recordings and import folders it may help to determine the issue/options.

I think I have it worked out using Phoenix, but I'm still playing around with each. Thanks for the info on the plugin!
