What are all these TV Shows doing in my Movies category?? Have you found yourself wondering this?
If you buy your Movies and TV shows from iTunes, the files are automatically placed in their respective categories in your iTunes Library upon download. Movies goes into the Movies category, and TV Shows will appear in your TV Shows category.
However, if you own TV show collections on DVD, and use Handbrake to import them to your iTunes, they will be filed under Movies, and not under TV Shows.
You may not mind at first, but as you import many seasons of a particular show into iTunes, this starts to get a little irritating.
Here’s how to fix:
Go into your Movies category and locate your TV Show episode. Click to select.
Now go up to File Menu and select Get Info.
From the resulting pop-up window, navigate to the Options Tab.
Choose TV Show from the Media Kind drop-down menu. Hit Okay.
Go to your TV Shows menu, and rejoice.
You can also do this with multiple files at once.
Thanks for reading!
