Short version:
Where is the eyetv folder with all your shows located?

Long version:
I have an Eyehome that reads from the Movies folder, and I have a bunch of TV shows (not from an EyeTV) that I dont want to put in the Movies folder. So I created an EyeTV folder in my user folder next to the movies folder, put a tv show in it, but the Eyehome doesnt see it. So, is that the correct location for the Eyetv folder?

edit: just wanted to add that the tv show is the proper format, as it plays from the movies folder just fine. I just want it to show up in the Eyetv menu instead.

TIA

In order for a movie to show up in the EyeTV listing, it must be in EyeTV--in the EyeTV programs window. If the TV show has been saved outside of EyeTV, and deleted from EyeTV Programs, it will not show up there anymore. I don't know of a simple way to add it back, other than rerecording it.

All EyeTV programs are stored in a folder called "EyeTV Archive".

For EyeTV, �EyeTV Archive Location� is set in the Storage pane of EyeTV Preferences. You can change this location to other directories, even an external hard drive in Preferences. When you move a TV program (a folder that contains 4 files, minimum) from the designated storage location, EyeTV can no longer �see� the file. You can drag the program folder back to the Archive location, relaunch EyeTV, and the program will become �visible� within EyeTV again. I do not know how EyeHome interacts with EyeTV however.
