Good morning,
My new kodi install shows all television recordings as episodes of some unknown (incorrect) show.
I've built a box with Kodi Helix on Windows 7. My old MythTV with analog tuners is no longer of any use now that my cable company is going digital too. I have HDMI playback and IR remote working well.
Here's what I've tried:
Read the faq on structure for the files and directories. Put them on the disk as:
Downloaded and used 'The renamer" to get them correctly named as per TVdb.
Moved all files and directories from the "Television" directory to the "Backup" directory.
I removed the "Television" source and asked it to remove all entries from the library database.
I copied one show directory, with minimal number of episodes and only one season, back to "Television".
Added the Television directory as a source, set it to use TVdb, and updated the library.
It found all episodes in the Television directory but none are correctly identified.
When I start Kodi it scans for new content.
The notification says it's looking in "Backup".
I never told Kodi to look there and don't want it to.
I looked for a source that might lead it to search in the wrong places.
I found the media sources file and ensured there were no references to the root of the drive or to "Backup".
It seems to keep looking in places it shouldn't.
Tried with the 'flatten shows' option on and off. Seemed to make no difference.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

- Is there a list of all the places where kodi will get media directories from?
- Is it in a sqlite database I can edit? The on screen configuration is confusing and not well organized.
- Does the older version work better? Should I downgrade?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
