Hi my fellow mac nerds....

Un-like the majority i love the new FrontRow, i have my external HD packed with TV shows and Movies which i have made alias' to the 'Movies folder' on my macbook.

but..... and there is always a but, i want my TV shows from my hard drive to display in the TV folder on front row rather than the Movies folder.
Does anyone know of a shortcut of how i can place a 'TV Shows alias' folder in the Itunes libary to appear in FrontRow under TV shows?

Thanks people.

Power to the Mac

I think the only was is to import them into iTunes and change them to TV show. However this does leave you with one VERY annoying problem. You do not get a subfolder for season/series. What you end up with is:

TV Shows -> Show Title -> All Episodes

Rather than the sensible

TV Shows -> Show Title -> Season Number -> Only the episodes from that season!

Oh and also it starts with the last episode first, eg

Episode 10, Season 3
Episode 9, Season 3
Episode 8, Season 3
Episode 7, Season 3
Episode 6, Season 3
Episode 5, Season 3
Episode 4, Season 3
Episode 3, Season 3
Episode 2, Season 3
Episode 1, Season 3
Episode 10, Season 2
Episode 9, Season 2
etc
etc

Which is a real pain if you want to watch as show from the beginning!

I hope (but doubt it) that Apple will fix this issue.
