Unable to record tv show to an alternative library

Server Version#: 1.18.3.2156
Player Version#: 4.18.1

When scheduling to record a TV Show, I can only add the recording to the TV Show library, which may make sense except I prefer to add it to an alternative library I’ve established, “Recorded TV.” However, the drop down box shows no alternative libraries; it only shows “TV Show.”

On the other hand, when I schedule a recording of a movie, the drop down box allows me to add the recording to “movies” as well as “Recorded TV” and two other libraries.

Is there a way to add alternative locations for adding a TV show?

Thanks

It definitely should be giving you more than one library option when recording TV shows, assuming you have multiple libraries of type “TV Shows” set up one your server:

So, ensure the alternate library you’d like to use is of the correct type.

Thanks, Philipsw. You gave me an idea and it works although not the most elegant solution.

I saw that you had two libraries established under the general category TV Shows. I only have one library (TV Shows) so I added the library, Recorded TV within the TV Shows category. And problem solved. I now have two options when I schedule a recording of a tv show.

It’s not elegant because when I schedule a movie recording, I have three options as to the location of adding the recording in addition to adding it to the movie library. None of those three options are within the Movie category; only the movie library is within the Movie category.

But hey, it works, and I appreciate your quick response. It’s is the fastest solution I have ever received in any forum. Thanks again

No problem, glad you got it to work.
