Specifics:

The sample media WTV file which is shipped with Windows 7 contains different metadata encoding than WTV files which are produced by Media Center. If this file is placed in a folder in the Recorded TV Manager Folder List, it causes problems, including not seeing any of the other files in the folder.

  1. Only applies to the file win7_scenic-demoshort_raw.wtv
  2. The file may also appear in Windows Explorer as Landscapes.wtv
  3. The file is distributed with Windows 7 in the directory Public\Recorded TV\Sample Media
  4. Software products affected:
    • Recorded TV Manager 3 Build 4.3.1
  5. Only applies when running under Windows 7.

Solution:

Do not place this file in any folder in the Recorded TV Manager Folder List.

To insure that the file is not inadvertently moved into the Folder List, it is recommended that you delete the file.
