TV Episodes not showing up in Gotham 13.2(Local NFO) - ser_renely - 2014-08-13

Ok, I don't understand why this has happened. I am assuming I have messed up something etc... I have read a few things on the boards, but nothing has worked.

I use Ember media manager to scrape everything, so I have local NFOs. Win 7.

Everything works fine if I use Frodo 12.2 and has worked for the year.

None of the Gotham versions have worked.

-Scan Library, a new show will be added without-- episodes.
-I try scanning for new content, no episodes are added
-I try refreshing and scan local, but nothing happens. I am not sure if some sort of error occurs, but I don't see anything.

So that is where I am at for the moment. Would anyone have any suggestions? Let me know if I need to post more info.

Thank you,
Ser

Local data or stored on a NAS or similar?

Added source properly and mark it as "TV-Shows"?

NFO named to match exactly the tv-show name and the file names? Some foreign language charakters in it like "ä", "ö" or "ü"?

Be aware of your folder structure...IIRC TV-Shows only allowed to have 2 subfolders after the TV-Show folder:
/TV-Show
-----name of TV-Show#1 (first subfolder)
---------Season#1 (second subfolder)
-------------Episode#1 (files....)
-------------Episode#2 (files....)
---------Season#2 (second subfolder)
-------------Episode#1 (files....)
-------------Episode#2 (files....)
-----name of TV-Show#2 (first subfolder)
---------Season#1 (second subfolder)
-------------Episode#1 (files....)
-------------Episode#2 (files....)
---------Season#2 (second subfolder)
-------------Episode#1 (files....)
-------------Episode#2 (files....)

Like it´s explained here:

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Naming_video_files/TV_shows

and do a proper naming of your files. Maybe you have to remove your source and add it new, after you checked/redo the things above.

If this all doesn´t work, enable debug logging and paste a Debug Log at a pastebin site while scanning your content

This is local data.

I believe I added it as a tv show. Maybe I just need to start the whole thing all over.

NFO is a match, no special characters.

I believe my folder setup is correct:

tv show(1999)/season #/tv show_[s01]_[e01-02-03-04]
or
tv show(1999)/season #/tv show_[s01]_[e01]

I will try and remove the source and start anew.

Thanks for the help

Hmmm, so it seems the fact I was using [ ] was causing the problem.

Is there any program that can change the names of my files? I have a tonne so I won't be able to manually change them.
