First off all: LOVE Serviio

However I do notice something strange... My TV Series are listed as TV Series, bu also under Documentary under Genres.
Is there a way to exclude the TV Series from the Documentary under Genres? (I do have some Documentaries that are not TV shows)

I'm using for the MetaData XBMC .nfo files, that I perfectly create with Media Companion.

Here's an example of one of the files (TV Series):

Code:: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <episodedetails> <fileinfo> <streamdetails> <video /> </streamdetails> </fileinfo> <title>Deadliest Hotels and Hospitals</title> <season>0</season> <episode>9</episode> <aired>2012-02-24</aired> <plot>Ghost Adventures recall their creepiest lockdowns inside hotels of horror and the deadliest hospitals that they've investigated.</plot> <playcount>0</playcount> <director> </director> <credits> </credits> <rating>0</rating> <runtime> </runtime> <showid>83929</showid> </episodedetails>

Thanks in advance for the help!

EDIT:

I noticed just now the tvshow.nfo file...
In there you do see the genre where it appears in...
However... MC does see it as a TV Show, while Serviio sees it as a TV Series AND as movie under Genre?
Here's the nfo.

Code:: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?> <tvshow> <state>0</state> <title>Ghost Adventures</title> <id>83929</id> <mpaa>TV-14</mpaa> <genre>Documentary / Reality</genre> <imdbid>tt1319900</imdbid> <plot>Paranormal investigator Zak Bagans and his crew, Nick Groff and Aaron Goodwin, search for haunted locations both domestically and internationally.

The question remains on how to only show this under TV Series...

The Genre category, as well as all the others (apart from Movies) will include metadata for series videos as well as movies videos. So Series and Movies are the only categories that will include either.

Thanks for letting me know this Zip.
Too bad that there's no option to exclude the series from the genres, as all the episodes are now listed under that genre and are ordered by name, not episode/season.
Navigation via series is much better for that.

Ok, so I'll adjust the Genre for this series so I can just ignore that one. While I have a feeling it's not, but is there a possibillity to hide a genre?

Again, thanks for your help and fast reply!
