Grouping TV shows together

Grouping TV shows together
OK I've ripped my lost DVD to my apple TV now how do I get all episodes to appear in one folder or heading?

Your 'movies' will probably appear under movies even though they're TV Shows.
If the filenames are similar hopefully they'll be next to each other.
Right click on the first and choose Get Info.
In the Info tab enter the name to appear on screen.
Next click the Video Tab, and edit to TV Show from the dropdown, add Show name, and I tend to add season, and episode number/IDs though I'm not convinced it helps sorting on AppleTV. Clcik ok to update or Next if the files lie adjacent to each other so the next one is the next episode. Once you've done ok they'll move to TV Shows category and will appear under the Show name. I tend to label the episode names with a number myself, eg 01 - Intro, 02 - The Next Installment, 03 - Middle, 04 - Penultimate, 05 - The Finale.

How can I group TV shows together??

Hey guys,
I've got a bit of an annoyance. Is there any way I can group my TV shows together, by show.
So heres how I've got it now:

I want to have it so they aren't grouped by season, they are grouped by show. I'm envisioning sort of a "folder" which is named Doctor Who (for example), then you go into that and it shows you the seasons.
Anyone have any ideas for this?
Thanks!!

Yep... best I can offer. Drop a line to iTunes Feedback to tell them how you'd like it to work.

Grouping Seasons of the same TV Shows together

Is there a way to group season of the same TV Show together. iTunes/Apple TV does a great job of grouping episodes into seasons, but they do not group those seasons into one show.

they should group together, but there is a known bug with the appletv software that doesn't group them. hopefully it will be resolved in the next software version.

Why is iTunes 7.6 no longer grouping TV shows by season / show?

I'm running iTunes 7.6 and have noticed that for the first time ever, purchased shows all within one season are now not grouped together.
This happens in "Cover Flow" view and in "Grouped with Artwork" view.
Some shows are unaffected. Others seem to be mainly stricken with the fact that iTunes is now thinking that the pilot episodes of some seasons are separate from the rest of the episodes within that season.

I had the same problem with a few shows, but was able to get around it. I selected the shows that should have been grouped together and hit Apple-I to bring up the Get Info window. In there, I put a checkmark in every field that would be universal for each show (artist, album artist, album, etc) and re-added the artwork for them.
Once that was done, they regrouped. Unfortunately, I need them grouped by show alone, now show and season. I have not found a way to group multiple seasons together.

Grouping TV Shows - ie TV Show Name Seasons Episodes

I am seeing in Apple TV under TV Shows:-
Stargate SG-1 - Season 1
Stargate SG-1 - Season 2
etc
The West Wing - Season 1
The West Wing - Season 2
etc
Is there anyway to get the TV Show to pull all the Seasons together and just show the TV Show, then the Seasons, then the episodes?
The way I am seeing it now with several TBs of TV shows this is going to be a very long scrolling list.
Any ideas? Can I group them somehow by changing an attribute in the meta data?
Thanks
Background just in case relevant
Just got a new Apple TV 2 - it connecting nicely to all the Macs in the house.
I am converting all my video and putting it into iTunes (10.0.1) using iFlicks (a tad flakey) and Elgato Turbo HD H.264 usb co-processor.
All going well, quicker if iFlicks were more stable and stop stalling without any indication it had done so.

For my test I had "Friends" and when I did the multiple item dialog and put a "1" in the season field it displays the season on the first level. So when I view by shows it has "Friends" with Season 1 in smaller font underneath. I just saw that and wanted to add it to my post
This is the way most people view their TV shows list. However, the original poster asked how to merge the various seasons for a single show together under a single TV show name--just the opposite of what you are doing (i.e., dividing the show by season). In my explanation, you select all episodes in all seasons for a single TV show, open the multi-file Info window and remove all of the season numbers in a single action. Thereafter, all episodes for that TV Show will then display under a single TV show name and, if the episode #s are correct, will be listed in their episode by season order but not place a "header" between seasons as is done on the TV1 menu when season IDs are included.
For me, it is six of one and a half dozen of the other. For instance, the original Doctor Who TV series has 26 seasons which would make 26 Doctor Who TV show entries in the TV show list making it easier to access individual episodes for each season. On the other hand, grouping all 26 seasons under a single TV show name makes it easier to select an individual TV show but makes it more difficult to access a single episode in the "season by episode" list which now contains over 500 individual episodes. Thus, each user must decide for himself/herself which work flow is more suited to their individual needs. My only reason for posting was to point out that both options are available for TV show lists and answers the OP's question.

Grouping TV shows so they appear as one line on Apple TV

Hi, I remember when the original Apple TV came out you used to be able to group your seasons of the same TV show together using the grouping field on the options tab. This meant that the initial TV menu only hah one line for the TV show and after you selected it you then saw all the seasons. Does anyone know how to get this working on the new Apple TV or what needs to be set in iTunes to make it work. Any help will be much appreciated. Regards Andy CJ

Warranty service on the iPhone is only available in the country of purchase. You will need to send your phone to someone in the US so he/she can bring it in to Apple to look at.
If that's not feasible, you can google to search for a 3rd party iPhone repair shop in your area.

Grouping TV Shows

I've just recently gotten my video ipod, and have a problem. I have downloaded many TV shiws NOT from the Music Store. however, I can't get my ipod to group all episodes together as a TV show. They all just show up in the Movies section. Also, I am a Monk fan. I have been downloading all the epidoes so far this season. However, the only episode that is showing up as episode 4 is the last one I downloaded. All the rest are represented in the season 0 folder. Does anyone have any advice as to how I can fix either of these problems?

very very similiar question, anyone with answers??

Grouping TV Show Seasons in Grid View

Is there a way to group all seasons of a TV show together in Grid View? Instead of seeing three icons for "Arrested Development Season 1", "Arrested Development Season 2", and "Arrested Development Season 3" (for example) I just want to see one icon for "Arrested Development". Is that possible (without removing the season information from the metadata)?

You have to remove the *Season No.* values to merge the seasons into one icon. Use an *Episode ID* pattern such as s##e## to organise the episodes in the correct order.

Contact Groups not showing up on Iphone when syncing with Mobileme

My contacts show up in my address book on my Iphone but when I go to look at my groups the page is blank and I cannot get back to my contacts without closing and reopening contacts but still no groups. I want my groups to show up. I have at least 4 groups that show up on my me, and syncs fine with ipad....
I THINK THIS IS A ISSUE with the new verizon iphone.
Please help if anyone has

I am having a similar issue. As is my wife. I also believe that it is a bug in the current iOS on the CDMA iPhone 4.
It is just as you described, and I have to close Contacts completely in order to restore my access to the contacts list. And, like you, our groups show up just fine on our iPads (within minutes of making changes, as we sync over MobileMe).
It doesn't appear to be a letter-case issue, as at least my login is in all lowercase letters.
I sure hope that this is fixed in an iOS update soon! It's rather problematic for those of use who use their iPhones for business purposes.

Group 2 monitors together in a 3 monitor display

I am running 3 monitors (2x 1600x900 and 1x 1280x1024). I am using Windows 7 Enterprise. The PC I RDP into is a windows XP virtual PC with only 1 display.
What I want is to setup the RDP to span the 2x 1600x900s - I can do so only by entering in a custom X and Y size, but I want it to maxamize on those two displays to allow me to use keyboard shortcuts on which ever PC I have selected out of the
two.
Is there a way to, in windows 7 enterprise to a windows xp machine, span ONLY the 2 monitors in a maximized fashion while the 3rd monitor is left alone for the original PC?
The best way I can think of is grouping the monitors together the way catalyst control center by AMD/ATI does, but I am using an Intel card so that's not possible.

i believe that there is no way to do this but you can do the following
open mstsc and go to display settings and enable use all my monitors for my session
I this helped you please mark me as helpful

Contact Groups are showing as "null"

On my iPhone5 and iPad some of my Contact Groups are showing as "null". This is new. It didn't start until yesterday. iCloud.com does not reflect this. Everythings seems to be okay there. What can I do to change this?

I have this same issue. Whenever I create a group via the iCloud web interface, it shows up named "null" on my iPhone and iPad.
I found a workaround, but it only applies to people who:
- Are using a Windows PC
- Have MS Outlook installed
- Have iCloud control panel installed
- Have iCloud control panel configured to sync contacts with Outlook
In Outlook, open Contacts, then from the ribbon choose "iCloud, Create New Group".
At least for me, this works... Once created in Outlook, the group quickly syncs and shows up with the correct name on the iCloud web interface, iphone, and ipad. After that, I can manage membership of the group either through the iCloud web interface or Outlook, and everything works as it should.

4.2.1 tvshows no longer group by show

Since the update shows that were grouped are showing up as "Unknown"

Hi, Ralph.
Actually, the kbase doc on the camera kit does also say:
You may also be able to use some USB audio/MIDI devices with the iPad Camera Connector. To find out if a USB audio/MIDI device is compatible, contact the device manufacturer.
And a lot of supported devices are not working now, by all accounts, including many that were being pushed in the apple gift guide for the online store earlier this week (it's been replaced for today by the black friday page).

DVD Studio Pro - Why is it so easy to create stories, but you cannot group all them together for a simple PLAY all scenario, instead of going to scripts

- Why is it so easy to create stories, but you cannot group all them together for a simple PLAY all scenario, surely it can be done? I am about to give scripting a shot but seriously it looks way to confusing compared to stories, I have several sub menus and in each sub menu I have a play all story, however what I also want to do is create a PLAY ALL from the main menu, any suggestions
Erby60

Duplicate all your stories, have a menu item with duplicate story 1 as the target, and set the end jump of duplicate story 1 to duplicate story 2, etc. Shouldn't that work? There may be a simpler way, but
As far as adding documents, The simplest way is to build in dvdsp and then add a folder containing the docs to the project folder that dvdsp has created and use toast to burn it. There may be a rule for naming this folder, but can't remember it at the moment.
Hey, ya know there's something called the dvdsp manual. A quick search found this
In addition to the VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder, there are other items that can be part of the format process:
A folder specified by the DVD-ROM content setting
DVD@CCESS Installers
You can change or set the folder to use for DVD-ROM content either when specifying the preformat settings or while configuring the format process. The DVD@CCESS Installers are included if the project used DVD@CCESS links and the Embed Text Data checkbox in the Disc Inspector is selected. See DVD@CCESS for more information on DVD@CCESS.

Urgent to group and show the folder metadata base on profile in UCM

Hi All,
My requirement is I have to group and show the folder metadata for folder creation, updating and information based on profile.
Suppose If I want to create, update and information a HR folder that time I have to show only HR metadata
If I want to create, update and information a FINANCE folder that time I have to show only FINANCE metadata
If I want to create, update and information a standard folder that time I have to show only standard metadata
Example
Someone accessing a ‘standard’ folder would not see the HR group of metadata fields; instead they should just see the ‘standard’ profile metadata fields for said folder. Conversely, when someone is accessing a ‘HR’ folder, they should see the ‘HR document’ metadata profile for that folder.
Please help me is there any way which can I approach this by through configuration.
Thanks in advace
Kishore.

I checked the standard behaviour. When I create few profiles I am able to choose the profile I want while creating a new folder (there is an option Switch Profile).
Therefore, the only thing that remains is auto-select the profile you want to use. Note that profiles by default are selected by the Trigger Field (configured in Configuration Manager). This means you need to combine requirements you have for your folders and for your content items. This can be quite challenging. However, you can also 'Use rule activation condition', which is assigned to rules contained in the profile. There, you can work with any metadata and other system variables (like checkin vs. search defined in dpAction - see this link for further details: Value of dpAction
In your case, you could use folder name, or create a surrogate metadata field containing list of values and use it.

When I send email to a group, it shows all members addresses even though that option is turned off in the preferences.

When I send email to a group, it shows all members addresses even though that option is turned off in the preferences. This just started happening on all my devices. I have the latest update instaled.

That doesn't work on Mavericks. Follow Tuttle's advice.
