![]() ![]() MetaZ is an example and has not been updated (as of v1.0a12) and still writes a value of 0 to the atom for movies. Some tagging/encoding software has historically written the value 0 to the stik atom when assigning the type Movie. If it sees a 0 then it considers it a Home Video and puts it in the Home Videos tab. If it sees a 9 then iTunes considers it a Movie. When you drag an encode into iTunes it reads this atom. It seems that value 0 has now been (in iTunes11) re-defined to indicate a Home Video. It also seems that the value 0 was deprecated a while back, but prior to iTunes11, value of 0 still defaulted to a movie. The stik atom has used both the value 0 and 9 for movies. The "stik" atom is a value within an mpeg file indictes the type of video it is (Movie, TVShow, MusicVideo, etc). One last comment: Home Videos? Seriously guys? The worst waste of development time and money I've ever heard of. Someone has to know how to fix this travesty. Then I tried moving the file to the AirDrive-born iTunes Movies folder schema myself, closing down iTunes, then reopening and trying to have it scan my library files to add it to Movies.Result: The file stays in the schema but shows up in the Home Videos portion of iTunes 11. Moving the file to the AirDrive-born iTunes folder schema myself and then dragging it into iTunes.Result: It gets copied into the Home Videos folder with no way to change it or move it. Dragging the file from my desktop to iTunes.Now, I have tried everything to get the same result in iTunes 11 and to no avail. Before, I would just drag the file from my desktop into the iTunes window and it would copy the file over to the harddrive and place it in the Movies folder in the schema and in my visual library, all the while adding the convenent "Not Watched" blue button. I have my iTunes folder placed on a separate AirDrive, everything is in perfect order. I frequently import my own movie files into iTunes, but these are my personal copies of films and are not Home Videos. The long version: Perhaps the most worthless addition in iTunes 11 (which I love) is Home Videos, and it's starting to cause me all sorts of headaches. The short version: I want to add movies to my Movies category, not Home Videos, but iTunes 11 keeps forcing it on me.
