TV Show library woes - CinemaPat - 2011-07-21 Hey guys, I continue to have problems with the TV Show library populating in XBMC. ATV 4.3.3 XBMC 10.0-9 Pre-Eden data in USB External HDD via Windows Network SMB TVDB scraper Things I've tried: 1. Delete all sources and re-import 2. On HDD: Took out TV Shows from "Videos" folder and left as stand alone source 3. Set TV Shows source as such in the Set Content menu 4. On HDD: files are structured this way: TV Shows -TV Show 1 -tv.show.s01e1.avi -tv.show.s01e2.avi -TV Show 2 -tv.show.s01e1.avi -tv.show.s01e2.avi XBMC says it is scanning the source giving no errors, yet the TV Show library is still "Greyed" out in the settings and not visible on the main menu. - CinemaPat - 2011-07-22 55 views and not one reply......guess I'm stuck in the water - justido - 2011-07-22 Check here, library section http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=91581 [NEW] Library scraping does not appear to be working properly. The extent to which it is not working has not been fully reported. Better to scrape with mac/win32 i guess - CinemaPat - 2011-07-25 any update on this issue? any other "tricks" I can try to get this to work? - Ned Scott - 2011-07-25 CinemaPat Wrote:any update on this issue? any other "tricks" I can try to get this to work? Did you try the unofficial semi-nightly build from the 22nd? Seems to be the most recent and kinda fixes scraping. It mostly works, but is slow. There was a big change to the way scraping works/interfaces with XBMC semi-recently, which is why there's been so many odd issues with it lately. - CinemaPat - 2011-07-25 Thanks, I've been a bit weary about moving to the nightlies, I'd rather have a stable build to use, but I may jump ship soon and try it out - Ned Scott - 2011-07-25 CinemaPat Wrote:Thanks, I've been a bit weary about moving to the nightlies, I'd rather have a stable build to use, but I may jump ship soon and try it out There are no stable builds for XBMC. All of the builds are using pre-release dev code. In theory the "official" dev builds are more stable because someone from Team-XBMC builds it rather than "some guy", but lately there really hasn't been much of a difference and Keith is pretty good at it. In my own experience the build from the 22nd is just as stable (if not more) as the last official dev build. - CinemaPat - 2011-07-25 Thanks! Can you help me understand one thing? INSTRUCTIONS: After you've installed the official XBMC build, SSH into your atv2 (IP is under System > System Info in XBMC) and type: wget (use url below for ATV2) dpkg -i latest_atv2.deb rm latest_atv2.deb where in the "System Info" file do I type the above? - chuckles - 2011-07-26 CinemaPat Wrote:Thanks! Can you help me understand one thing? You need to log onto the atv2 with a secure shell (SSH) client (putty is a good one for windows). If the above sentence has confused you, might be better to wait for a new official dev release, the second point in the nightly prerequisites is a good indicator. "2. NON COMMAND LINE FRIENDLY. I am enforcing this heavily. If you need to ask about any unix commands, you shouldn't be on this build, otherwise we will delete your post." - CinemaPat - 2011-07-26 I got the July 22nd nightly running and it's all working pretty well. XBMC was crashing when opening IceFilms via the shortcut menu on the Simplicity skin. Works fine if I go through the add on directly. IRT the TV Show library. I double checked my naming conventions and found there were still some cleaning to be done which is why the scraper wasn't recognizing my TV Shows. All is fixed now and I have my TV Show library populated! Yeah me! - Billbert - 2011-07-26 Hi, I think i may have had the exact same problem as you're experiencing. Try and change the folder permissions to +777, or rw access to everyone, also to folder contents. let me know if this helps... |
