Converting From Movies to TV Shows
What to do when your TV shows are tagged as movies
This means when I want to load up an actual movie, I need to sift through dozens of TV shows to get to it. But it turns out this is an easy problem to fix:
1. Get info on a file by selecting it and pressing control-I
2. Select the video tab
3. Change "Video Kind" to "TV Show"
This works great for a small number of files. If you have more files you need to convert, dougscripts.com has a great applescript that will work (Mac only):

If there are ways to batch this in Windows, please post here:

Good tip but you should include a fair warning that doing this (tagging within iTunes) will not update the movies with those meta tags like it does for music. In short if you move those movies / tv shows from one computer to another you'll be re-tagging everything. :(
Search out atomic-parsley and the various front ends for a more permanent BUT MUCH SLOWER solution. For some gosh-awfull reason when you retag movies the whole file needs to be rewritten,,, Hmmm maybe music works that way too but since the files are so much smaller you just don't notice it... |
