Last year, I installed Recorded TV Manager to manage moving recording to my Windows Home server. I stopped using it when the Power Pack 3 was made available for Windows Home Server, as it enabled archiving recordings automatically. Also, Recorded TV Manager was not compatible with the recordings that Windows 7 made.
Unfortunately, the archiving feature that Power Pack 3 implemented didn't do anything to remove duplicate episodes, so I started to use a lot more space than was needed. Also, you are not able to specify different destination directories for the archived recordings, so you end up with one directory full of files. I also never used the transcoding inPower Pack 3's archive recording feature.
Version 3.9.2 of Recorded TV Manager adds support for Windows 7's wtv recording files, so I decided to install the new version. The instructions are very helpful for installing the Windows Home Server plugin, and the service that is needed to access the meta data from the wtv files.
I also took this as the opportunity to organize the recorded content that is on the share on the Windows Home Server. I moved some of the archived content to a share that has folder duplication enabled, and for content that I don't care about losing, I left it in a share that doesn't have duplication enabled.
