Recordings folder

[RevWayne 0]

I am new to Emby and I can't find an answer to this question. I hope someone can clarify  for me. In setting up the Emby server on my M4 Mac Mini, I followed the instructions given on the Emby site. As a part of setting up my Library folders, I created a folder defined as Mixed Media (per instructions) for recordings from my Emby DVR. What I am finding is  that there are no recordings in that folder. However, all of the recordings are in the  system created Live TV area. So I know the DVR is working, and I know how to access the recordings - I just use the Live TV access rather than the Library folder. But that brings up  the question - is there any  reason why I need that Library folder on Emby? I know I won't delete the media files, but I don't want to lose access to them via Live TV if that's the way I should go. I'd appreciate a little clarification. Thanks.
