@RockDawg
This is the last thing I can think of, i've added another check that may catch something
Download Version 3.147, just the main prog
If this does not show anything then I am at a total loss.
- RockDawg - 2009-11-01
I tried that and it didn't report anything new in the log.
I've been trying different things to see if I can find something that may help you and I've noticed something. Previously, I added my show folders by adding the root folder in MC. I just tried doing it via single folder (adding each show one at a time) and a bunch are still missing, but now shows who's episodes weren't showing before, are now and vice versa. How weird is that?

Whats getting me is that no exception is thrown anywhere
Code:
Dim dir_info As New System.IO.DirectoryInfo(folder)
tvrebuildlog("Looking in " & folder)
Dim fs_infos() As System.IO.FileInfo = dir_info.GetFiles(pattern, SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly)
For Each fs_info As System.IO.FileInfo In fs_infosThe folder is correct according to the log, and the pattern is "*.nfo" but at the next line (For Each fs_info As System.IO.FileInfo In fs_infos) is supposed to loop through the results, but their are no results.
Could you just check the config.xml to see if there is any difference between the <tvfolder> path formats for the paths that work or those that dont, it has to be something simple like an extra \ or something.

More oddities. I was trying to see if there is a pattern behind why different episodes show when I added root folder as opposed to individual folders. What I've noticed is that it's adding the first x number of shows in the folders list and then ignoring the rest. When I add the root folder it's displaying episodes for the first 13 shows in the folder list and ignoring the rest. With individual folders, MC shows the episodes for the first 11 shows displayed in the folders list and ignores the rest.
Am I clear on explaining that?
- billyad2000 - 2009-11-02
I'll go over it tomorrow, my eyesight is getting a bit blurry. It must have something to do with the network path, i'll configure my own to similar and see if i can duplicate it.
- billyad2000 - 2009-11-02
Just realised the path in your logs is quite different, Y:\Friday Night Lights
as opposed to \\TOWER2\TV Shows\Friday Night Lights
- RockDawg - 2009-11-02
Yah, that's due to me playing around and trying to figure out a pattern. One path is using the drive mapped as a local drive and the other is the network path. I was trying different things when I noticed the MC is adding only the episodes for the first x number of shows in the folder list.
Just curious, how many shows do you have when testing MC?
- RockDawg - 2009-11-02
Here's a screen shot showing what I'm talking about:
When I add the root folder:
When I add the folders individually:
It seems to go down the folder list whatever order it is in and then stop at some point.

My basic test config has 17 Different TV Shows from my NAS, but one of my config files has 29 Shows and it has not presented the issue you are having.
Could you give me the exact filename of one of the nfo's that are not seen.
Am I right in thinking that the first 11 shows within the xml work correctly, and if you change the order then the shows that work change.
If so then I have no Idea.
MC uses "Dim tvshowlist As New List(Of tvshownfo)"
and as such has no limits other than RAM, in my test setup I have 1300movies 17 TV shows and 1321 episodes. The RAM useage is about 38MB, i'm not sure what the effect would be if there was not enough system RAM, I assume that the page file would have to be used, or errors would be encountered. Either way, I doubt there are many people who have less than 1GB nowadays.

Just a small update
New feature for Movies, support for <sortorder> tags.
The field is below the Movie title, by default it is the same as the title, but xbmc will list movies alphabetically according to what is in this tag.
You can view this order using the new "Sort Order" Radio Button.
Download Version 3.148

Billy I haven't done much Win32 application development but I'm thinking that the problem may be to do with the ampersand symbol (&)
RockDawg what happens if you remove Law & Order as a source? If my prediction is correct it should now work until it hits Brothers & Sisters.
When creating menus in programs, the keyboard shortcut key for that particular entry is preceded with an ampersand. ie: ALT + F, ALT + E and ALT + V are the keyboard shortcuts to bring up the File, Edit and View menus. Those names are set in the application by adding an ampersand before the shortcut key's letter: &File, &Edit and &View. I'm using Opera web browser and that has a Widgets menu - it would be set as Wid&gets
Anyway to the point: MC may be seeing the ampersand in directories like "Law & Order" as described above and in turn looking for a directory called "Law__Order" (replace __ with double space, cant do double space in html without  ). This, in turn, might be throwing out the whole process somehow
If this is not the case, sorry for the distraction (but it got you all thinking!)

Awesome! Been waiting for this one
Thanks for the amazing app!
- RockDawg - 2009-11-02
I'm sorry, I noticed that in my last post the two screen shots I posted were identical. I have edited it so that the bottom one is different like it should be.
fanclub - I appreciate the input. Look at my last post again now that I have corrected it. In the second shot the folder list is ordered differently and it does see Brothers & Sisters. I thought the same as you when I noticed it stopped at Law & Order (like the first screenie), but I later noticed that Brothers & Sisters didn't bother it so I assume the ampersand isn't the problem.
