More iTunes settings

[bishop2020]

I am really happy with the addition of iTunes/iPhone support. I've been using it to put my shows on my iPhone and it works great. My only issue is that it places the low rez h.264 files in the same directory as my main recordings and then they show up in BeyondTV's front end when I'm browsing all my shows.

I would like to be able to tell BeyondTV to put my iTunes shows in a different folder. I would also like to be able to make the folder "hidden" from the beyondtv front end in the folder settings. This way I don't end up with every episode listed multiple times. The ability to "hide" a folder could be useful for anyone who has showsqueeze settings for mobile versions of their shows that they have no desire to view on their tv, not just the new iTunes integration.

Another thing that would be helpful would be to make the iTunes format dropdown a series of checkboxes instead so that BeyondTV would make 2 seperate versions each with their own RSS podcast. Heck some people have an iPod, iPhone and AppleTV... freaks that they may be

I'd like that too.

Bump.

I am /dying/ for this thing to handle my iPhone, AppleTV, iPod and BTVLink all together.

I was searching for info on hiding a separate folder I use for placing my showsqueezed files used for non-BTV purposes so that it doesn't show up in the viewscape. I take it from these responses there is no way to do it?

Yes, there is.

The new version of the viewscape has what you're looking for: you can use the Options button on your remote to only show original or showsqueezed programs. Just press the option button when you're looking at a list of shows.

I wrote a little program to transcode video and add it to itunes
http://code.google.com/p/btv-itu/downloads/list

It uses ffmpeg to transcode files for iTunes. You could modify the batch file so that it creates 2 versions of the show, one for your iPod, and one for your Apple TV.

It does not offer a podcast server, but you can share your iTunes libary to accomplish the same thing with your Apple TV, and just plug your iPod directly in to the media computer. You don't have to deal with podcasts or second copy of the show, hogging up disk space.

Thanks! That worked beautifully.
