Planet Earth scraping ok but no episode match - Jeff - 2012-05-28 I've recently moved over to XBMC from Plex (which I've been using for more than 2 years). I've now been using XBMC for a few weeks and have to say how impressed I am with the stability of the player. I was really hoping my first post would not be related to a scraping issue. I have spent a lot of time reading the wiki and have successfully set up my movie collection without issue. However, I've hit a brick wall with the 1st TV show I'm trying to set up. As the title says, the TV show Planet Earth (id 79257) scrapes fine using TheTVDB as the following from the debug log shows: Code: 14:19:54 T:2954420224 NOTICE: VideoInfoScanner: Starting scan .. The episode files seem to be picked up correctly and the episode list is retrieved from TheTVDB: Code: 14:20:11 T:2954420224 DEBUG: VideoInfoScanner: Found episode match /volumes/movies 2/blu-ray/tv shows/planet earth/season 1/planet earth.s01e01.mkv (s1e1) [[Ss]([0-9]+)[ ._-]*[Ee]([0-9]+)([^\\/]*)$] Then a strange error just before the episode list is returned: Code: 14:20:11 T:2961870848 DEBUG: Thread Jobworker 2961870848 terminating (autodelete) The following messages are then issued after the episode list has been retrieved: Code: 14:20:13 T:2954420224 DEBUG: OnProcessSeriesFolder - no match for show: 'Planet Earth', season: 1, episode: 1, airdate: '31/12/1969', title: '' I've cut out a lot of the debug file due to size constraints, but one thing I noticed in the returned episode list is the following: Code: <episode><id>306329</id><title>From Pole to Pole</title><aired>2006-03-05</aired><epnum></epnum><season>1</season><url cache="79257.xml">http://www.thetvdb.com/api/1D62F2F90030C444/series/79257/all/en.zip</url></episode> The above is the 1st episode of the series and there is no value for <epnum>. I've tried a number of different solutions, including renaming files, changing folder structure and using a tvshow.nfo file. I was going to add individual .nfo files for each episode with the required url, but the wiki says that this is not currently supported. I'm running on a Mac Mini 2010 with USB attached passport drives. Any help would be greatly appreciated. RE: Planet Earth scraping ok but no episode match - Jeff - 2012-05-28 Sorry - as per the guidelines on posting scraping issues, I omitted to post the complete debug log. I've now uploaded the complete log. I've a couple of other workarounds to try out tomorrow and, if not successful and the logs are significantly different, I'll repost with complete logs. RE: Planet Earth scraping ok but no episode match - jmarshall - 2012-05-29 I don't know if the error above is the cause, but notice how there are no <epnum> (episode number) values - this is why it can't assign them. Cheers, Jonathan RE: Planet Earth scraping ok but no episode match - Chris! - 2012-05-29 Maybe a thetvdb error - try again today? RE: Planet Earth scraping ok but no episode match - Jeff - 2012-05-29 Thanks for the replies. I figured it was due to missing <epnum> from TheTVDB. I've tried again today but still have the same results. Strangely, I just loaded Life (2009) without issue and I thought I would have problems with that one due to the number of series with the same name. So, is there a workaroud that doesn't require creating complete .nfo files for each episode? I don't mind creating the .nfo files but I'm concerned about the impact of populating the <fileinfo> details incorrectly. Are the <fileinfo> details used by the player during playback, or are they simply there to provide info on the overview screens? If it's the latter, then I'll just create the .nfo files manually. Thanks again [Solved] Planet Earth scraping ok but no episode match - Jeff - 2012-05-29 Update: I've manually created .nfo files for each episode and everything is now in the library. I'm guessing the issue lies with TheTVDB. RE: [Solved] Planet Earth scraping ok but no episode match - Bonzi - 2012-06-24 I ran into this problem too and it was driving me crazy. There is a problem with episode numbering in thetvdb. If you rename the files to Planet Earth.101.From Pole to Pole and Planet Earth.102. etc then they will be scrapped properly. RE: [Solved] Planet Earth scraping ok but no episode match - Aqueous - 2013-02-20 Do these movies NEED to be in the "TV Shows" Folder or can they be in the "Movies" folder? I have renamed my files as listed above but they still won't show up under "Movies"... RE: [Solved] Planet Earth scraping ok but no episode match - alexp4re - 2014-07-22 i tried Bonzi's suggestion & it didn't work for me. tried diff. scrapers, tried dvd ordering, absolute ordering & still did not work. this really sucks. spent too much time alrdy. EDIT: ok, i tried this method found in the forum & it works for me. try 'Planet Earth/Season 1/Planet.Earth.S01E01.From.Pole.To.Pole.mkv' it didnt recognize the initial scrape; it came up with god quiz. but i manually change under the movie info. to planet earth then it scraped correctly. good luck. RE: [Solved] Planet Earth scraping ok but no episode match - Jeff - 2014-07-22 I've zipped the complete .nfo files for all eleven episodes. You can download them here. Add them to the same directory as your video files. If you use a different file naming convention, please change the name of the .nfo files accordingly. |
