    Recordings list

    Only just received my equipment and struggling to find information?
    In the list of completed recordings, I have found that I can make folders, bookmark them and then make an auto-timer which will put the recording in that folder.
    Is there any way I can get the top level, where you can see folders, to show if there is anything in any of the folders?
    I can see the names but have to open each folder to find out if there is anything in there.

    Hi Egros,
    I think you mean something like "Properties" when right-clicking a Windows folder.
    That is not possible AFAIK.
    You can only see what's in a folder by opening it.
    Good luck and enjoy your Quad 4K

    Grogs movie organisor will sort recordings into folders. It will only put them into folders if there's more than 1 program with the same name
    Code:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/1492j21gok9tncp/enigma2-plugin-extensions-movieorganisor_2.14_all.ipk?dl=1
    Once installed go into the plugin then blue to update

    Initially the plugin is not enabled so you are given the opportunity to enable



    just press the right arrow on your remote to enable and you will be presented with the settings page.




    The following settings need to be set :

    Path to your recordings folder : using the left and right keys on your remote you must select the path where your tv recordings are stored. (I have assumed to certain extent where to get this list from, if your recordings folder isn't included please let me know)

    Run every : using your left and right keys on your remote you can select between 15 minutes, half hour, hourly, 3 hours and 6 hours. The more often it runs then the sooner your recordings are sorted into folders but the more times your hdd is going to be accessed.

    Remove the text 'New' from recording names : Some programs are labelled with the word New: if it's a new episode not shown before, if you set this to 'Yes' the text 'New:' will be removed.

    Keep recordings marked as New separate : this option is not available if you set the above option to yes. If set to yes, episodes labelled with New: before their title are kept separate from recordings of the same program that are not new.

    Run while in standby : if you set this to yes then the plugin will run 24/7, if you set to no then the plugin will not run when the box is in standby.

    Pressing the RED button will CANCEL your settings.

    Pressing the GREEN button will save your settings and start the timer.

    Pressing the YELLOW button will save your settings, start the timer and also runs the plugin instantly. using the YELLOW button does NOT effect the timer.

    Pressing the BLUE button checks for updates, if there are no updates you will see



    and you can just press ok to return to plugin settings. If there is an update you will be asked if you want to install the update and reboot the box.



    Selecting no will return you back to the plugin settings, selecting yes will install the new version of the plugin and reboot your box. Please make sure you're not recording when you do this as your recordings will be interupted when rebooting.

    Enjoy

    LbCwby, no not like properties, just something simple like the folder icon would change colour or show a symbol to signify there was something in there.

    dsayers, Thanks will try it out and see if it works.

    I think Grog's Movie Organisor deletes empty folders anyway.

    You may try the plugin EMC (Enhanced Movie Center) which has got an option to show either the # of files in each folder, or the size of them.
    I use it launching by a different remote key because this gives me the chance of having two "last path" remembered, one by RecList and a different one, in case, by EMC.
    It also offers some more tools to un/select and play different multimedia files by the RecList key itself or to select them all by pressing MENU within a folder.

    Liking EMC. Seems to do most of what I need.
    The only thing with Grogs, that I didn’t like was that if I made a directory, even if I moved something into it, it deleted the directory and moved the file back to the main list!!! Only worked if I were to put two items into it?

    That's how it's supposed to work, it only creates a directory when there are 2 files with the same title in the list and moves them to the directory.
    If you watch and delete files it will move any solo files back to the main list and delete the directory.

    The question mark made me think that you thought it was behaving abnormally.
    I believe that's how series link works on Sky and Grog has replicated it.

    I tried this movie organiser 2.14 (which updated itself to 2.16) in my box (which runs OpenVIX 5.3.035) and it seemed to be a bit of a mess (due to font being too big mainly I think).

    It made rather a mess of a few files and then, I think, stopped, or maybe it was waiting for something.

    It moved a couple of recordings correctly into a folder it made with the same name, but there were many more with the same name.

    But it also renamed several programs in the main folder by adding something like " part 25 (power interrupted)" to the name. But they were complete recordings and hadn't been interrupted.

    I'm afraid I gave up and removed it and manually put everything back as it was.
    Pity, seemed like an interesting idea.

    Tags do a pretty good job sorting recordings, it could do with the odd tweek, but doesn't touch anything, so you can revert back anytime.

    A good question, not totally sure of the answer.

    I reckon long press yellow will get you a "tags" when in the recording list. It gives you "pseudo folders", using the program title as the name of the folder.

    You can add your own tags to timers if you want.

    "Show all tags" will put you back to the normal recording list.

    The reason I wasn't absolutely sure is because I remapped sort in the recording list to tags years ago, so my box looks different.

    That is OK, I will try Grogs and see what's what.

    Then Tags, when I find out exactly how.

    Pity such an important section does not exist or it is not part of OpenVix.

    ... but FIRST I need to mount our new TV cabinet and then tomorrow strip everything out and rebuild connections with 70% less clutter!

    aaaaaa - finally!
