Resolved: M2TS Files To Video Section

[aust3333]

I have searched but cannot find the answer to this. I have recently started converting my Blu Ray movies to the m2ts format instead of ISO because of issues with playback due to Seamless Branching. My issue now is that after I create the file to m2ts, it now has that file extension on the tile and is placed in the HDD section of AIOS. I would like my movies with this file type to show up in the Videos section. In fact, I would like all of my movies to show up there. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to do this?

So you have scanned the HDD (green button at home screen) ? and still didn't show up ?
Do you have anything showing under the libraries at home screen ?!
(if m2ts is not picked up as a video extension you can rename it to avi or something, dirty trick I know).

Nothing showing under libraries at home screen. I have also scanned (used gren button) and it is still not showing. If I change the extension to say .iso will it cause the video to not play or lose picture quality?

Ok there is something showing. The movies with the file extension m2ts will show under HDD (all) but I would prefer them to show under videos to make it easier for my wife and kids to find.

Tried to rename and it did not work. When the file is brought up to make the change, I notice the file extension is missing. So after adding the file extension of .iso and saving the changes, the file shows up as for example Battleship.iso.m2ts. It seems as though the file is protecting itself and wont allow a final extension change. So now I have movies that show up as Battleship.iso.m2ts but still will not show under videos.I've tried erasing the entire title name and re-typing it with the the .iso or .avi extension and it still keeps the original extension at the end of the title. Pretty frustrating at this point. Any other ideas. I really need this to work.

Is that windows you are using to rename the files ?
If so you need to set windows file manager to show you the file extension first.

I am using the Aios GUI to rename.

I c, makes sense for the GUI to protect the file extension then.
Try using your PC.
or if you can telnet to box you can use the "mv" command to rename the files.
"mv old_name.old_ext new_name.new_ext"

Changed the extension to .iso using the PC and now the movies show up in the "videos" section after a scan is performed.
I'm actually a little surprised this worked. I thought for sure that once the file extension was changed that the file would be useless and not play. Glad I was wrong in my thinking though.
