I keep a lot of shows in my (record/watch/delete) pool, and other shows I want to keep. In those cases I want to move them out of the \Channels\TV path and to my imported media path on bigger and cheaper storage. The episode count badge always get's messed up when this happens.
Recorded the four parts of "Muhammed Ali" from PBS as an example. Shows in the library:
I copy the directory to a place outside of Channels managed space, then delete the series in Channels, empty the trash. Fine, it's gone, what I expected.
When I move the files to my import archive location and scan, the four episodes are there again. But they're tagged as 8.
I found a couple of old threads on this, "Incorrect episode count" and one mentioning episode badges, in both cases the answer was "restart the Channels DVR program". Which I did, and it worked, but is that the best / only answer?
Thanks, all, I love this program.
