Transferred Videos & Folders? How to name?

[travisc77]

I've searched the forum, but haven't found a solution to naming transferred videos, that will be grouped into folders. Does anyone know how to do this? I have about 10 home videos that I would like to be grouped in my Now Playing list.

Any help?

Well, when I open the properties file for a transferred video, there's
title=24 - Day 7
or
title=Flashpoint - Clean Hands

So it would seem you can name

title=Home Video - Baby Joe's Birth
title=Home Video - Baby Joe's First Birthday

etc.

Unfortunately it won't group them for you after you move them to the TiVo with TiVo Desktop, they will all be listed as separate shows in the main PlayList.

There has been some discussion about using pyTivo to display them as a group by creating MetaData files, but I think you have to use a a SeriesID that the TiVo recognizes.

I haven't used the new StreamBaby app yet, but it possibly might show them as a group on your PC and then stream them to watch on demand.

I tried this (Windows XP) and it didn't work for me. I just right-clicked the file, selected properties and typed the entry into the title field. The new title shows up in the Tivo now playing folder but is not sorted into a sub folder.
