Videos and Video Channels have a number of special considerations when it comes to bookmarking and maintenance.

Videos

When you bookmark a Video or add a Video to an existing Video Group, so long as its Special Action is Make SLM Stream, all its metadata will be imported automatically. As such, the "override" fields will be filled out.

As noted, all videos are bookmarked as SLM Streams by default. As such, in order to watch videos in a client like Channels DVR, Infuse, VLC, or others, you must take into account all that is necessary there.

It is also worth highlighting that a Video must be assigned to a Video Group, a.k.a. a "Playlist". While in search, you have the option to create a new one then or assign to any existing one.

If you choose to create a new Video Group, after executing, the Video Group will then be created and you can modify it any way you want.

Similarly, if you select an existing Video Group and choose to edit it, the details of that group will be made available and you can edit them there. Do note that if your Video Group has an order of "Manual", then the newly added Video will be at the bottom of that list. As such, you must edit the group if you want to reorder the location of the video.

Also of note: a Video link (and more broadly, any SLM Stream link) can only be bookmarked/hidden one time, therefore it can only be in one Video Group. The system will prevent you from bookmarking/hiding the same Video again. If you happen to hide a video that you intended to, you can find a hidden secret selection under Previously Bookmarked.

Just go ahead and either move the Video out to another Playlist (where it will becoming "unwatched" again) or delete it so that it will be available to bookmark again.

Video Channels

Similar to Movies, TV Shows, and Videos, when searching for a Video Channel, you can do many quick actions from just subscribing, adding it to a Group, editing, or a combination thereof.

After selecting a Video Channel to subscribe to (whether individually or en mass), and choosing to edit, you will be presented with the opportunity to make adjustments to what you would see inside this item.

You can make multiple modifications to any of the available fields, including what you see as the Video Channel name.

Once you are done, you can close out and/or move on to the next item you are bookmarking.

Still, even at this point you can still make modifications to a Video Channel. See additional details here.
