    My Videos folder view

    It is very hard to try and describe what im trying to do in 4 or 5 words for the subject of this post, "My videos folder view" was the best I could come up with, as cryptic as it sounds.

    I have more then 1 hard drive with my tv shows but it is really bugging the crap out of me that after browsing too "video libray", I end up with two more folders that both say "TV Shows" those of which contain folders named after the TV Show.

    I thought that by putting the the TV Show folders in the root of the drives that I would just see the names of the tv shows after navigating too "video library", but now I see the names of the drives, ie "TV Shows 1" and "TV Shows 2".

    I see a registry entry named "VideosDefaultRootPivot" and I wonder if this entry, or a different one could be changed to show the contents of an added folder, rather then the name of the added folder.

    By the way, this is Windows 7 RC 1.

    Not sure why you don't have your TV Shows in recorded TV which does what you want.

    Regardless, it sounds like you are a TV show collector and it seems that others who enjoy doing that really really like the Media Browser plug-in.

    Are the TV Shows downloaded or are they recorded? As bjdraw has said mediabrowser would be helpful to you if the TV Shows were downloaded but as yet it does not support .wtv so not very helpful for recorded tv in W7.
