Don't think tv.recordings_manager will do this with your directory structure. tv.recordings_manager makes a virtual directory structure based on the series from TV_RECORD_DIR. So in your case it would create: Bones/ Burn Notice/ The order of the files can be changed depending on record date, status, etc. You can try this out by simply soft linking the files into the TV_RECORD_DIR. >> Which I guess raises the question of documentation on the various >> plugins.. is the info given by freevo plugins -i <pluginname> all you >> have, or does the plugins have some extra documentation somewhere? The plug-ins should be self documenting, whether its documentation is good enough is a different matter. The documentation is also available on the "Help->Plugin List" page from the freevo webserver. The plug-in source code may also show some additional documentation, even though I try to move this out of the header into the documentation section. As a general rule developers do tend to be bad at documentation.
