pmichener1954 1 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I am currently storing all libraries on external harddrives and the recorded tv library now spans two different harddrives. How can I configure Media Browser 3 to combine these two libraries in Media Browser Classic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution blade005 172 Posted August 1, 2014 Solution Share Posted August 1, 2014 I have my RECORDED TV libraries across 3 or 4 hard drives. I added a MEDIA FOLDER in the Library called (my DVR • Television). I also have one for RECORDED Movies (my DVR • Movies). I created shared folders named RECORDED TV - Share 1, Share 2, Share 3... that include the various folders for each TV Series recorded. I then added the shares in the MEDIA LOCATION of the entry for (my DVR • Television). That gives me one location in the various clients to go to for DVR Television shows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vidman 589 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 One limitation with this tho is that if you have episodes of the same series but spread over different hard drives , they will show as two separate series(with the same name) in MBS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As my DVR library has grown (can't seem to Watch and Delete as fast as I can DVR!!), I try my best to keep Series on one drive and I also have each series in a Network folder and do my best to keep Networks on one drive. At least that gives me a shot at keeping series intact and I can move an entire Network folder over to a new drive if capacity becomes an issue.

swhitmore 781 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 A lot of users use storage pooling software to view several hard drives as one volume. FlexRAID is highly recommended for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
