You can't. actually you can, and both simply and free (not at/on the tivo itself (there you can't), but both tivo desktop and via the built in xml server (Both free) let you do it no problemo (there you can) |

There is an open source TiVo Desktop semi-equivalent called pyTivo written in Python that can be run as a server on either Windows or Linux machines and can serve video files to your TiVo just as the TiVo Desktop does. You can associate a textual metadata file with each video file (or one default.txt for the entire folder/directory) that describes attributes of the video file including things like seriesTitle, seriesId. When you use pyTiVo to transfer these shows to the TiVo, the TiVo can use this metadata to create a folder on the TiVo with all your shows in it, assuming the metadata info is setup correctly. I use a more complicated setup involving both pyTivo and kmttg (a java GUI that does an excellent job at administering automatic file transfers and transformations in both directions), so I'm not sure what the minimum amount of work you need to do is to set up a folder (mostly, just what fields need to be included in the metadata file). But I have complete freedom to name both folders and shows on the TiVo. Best resource for both pyTivo and kmttg are the (long) threads on each at tivocommunity.com in the home media subforum, or each has their own development pages you can get to with google. Don't get too dismayed by some of the technical talk - these are both actively developing programs that pay a lot of attention to all the various video formats out there - you can ignore most of that!

You do a **** poor job at explaining how to create a folder for Tivo...what is it? You think speaking in a way that's confusing make you believe you're smart are what? You're an asshole. |
