Hidden episodes
I was digging in my "Recorded TV" folder and noticed that I have a lot of episodes of any given show stored on my hard drive, but when I open Media Center, it shows only 1 episode or maybe a few, but there are a lot missing. In one case, when I opened the file folder, there were two sub-folders marked "season1 and season2". There was only 1 episode not in a sub-folder and that was the only one showing in Media Center. Does anyone know why this is happening?

What add on's for Media Center are you using? I will tell you that WMC by itself does not separate recordings into Season folders

But I only use them for my movie collection which I stored in a different place. Maybe I accidently added recorded TV. I've also been trying to use MCE Buddy but it hasn't been working for me.

So I think I figured it out, and it seems to be that it was MCEBuddy which was the culprit. It was stripping out the commercials like it's supposed to, but I couldn't see them in Media Center. They were put into folders and never again showed up. It's really too bad, because it looks like it was working pretty well but if I can't see my episodes in "recorded tv" then they're no good to me. So goodbye MCEbuddy, and goodbye to a LOT of recorded tv shows because they are no longer formatted with filenames WMC's recorded tv folder can see. That sucks!
