Folder Structure TvShows (DVD) - pettergulbra - 2011-03-13 Hi As you can see, this is my folder structure. I have tried foure different namings of the .iso files. But still the datbase sorts it as one and one episodes, eaven this is hole dvds with the amount of episodes set in the filenames. H:\Serier\Airwolf\Airwolf DVD S01E04E05E06.iso H:\Serier\Airwolf\Airwolf DVD.S01E01E02E03.iso H:\Serier\Airwolf\Airwolf S01E07E08E09.iso H:\Serier\Airwolf\Airwolf.S01E10E11E12.iso Is there a way to make this work. Without splitting the dvds up to one and one episode? This is a lot of work I don`t want to do. If there is a need of more info, log or something.. Please just ask. I have searched the wiki, and the hole forum, and did not find my answer. Sorry if this is asked before. kindly Petter - pettergulbra - 2011-03-15 Hope someone please can help me, or put me in the right direction. - Philmatic - 2011-03-15 pettergulbra Wrote:Is there a way to make this work. Without splitting the dvds Try the following: Code: H:\Serier\Airwolf\Airwolf S01 E01-02-03.iso Or Code: H:\Serier\Airwolf\Airwolf 1x01.1x02.1x03.iso - enoklinger - 2011-03-15 pettergulbra, I also tried to do this, with various naming conventions; unsuccessfully... What I did was to create hardlinks (on XP) pointing to the .iso, one hardlink for each episode. To do that, you need to use the command-line. Here is the syntax: fsutil hardlink create <original-filename> <hardlink-filename> For example, let´s assume you have an .iso file named Airwolf S01 disc1.iso containing episodes 1, 2 and 3: fsutil hardlink create "Airwolf S01 disc1.iso" "Airwolf S01E02.iso" fsutil hardlink create "Airwolf S01 disc1.iso" "Airwolf S01E03.iso" And, for the episode 1, we simply rename: ren "Airwolf S01 disc1.iso" "Airwolf S01E01.iso" Note that Windows will "think" you have 3 .iso files and will sum the sizes (ex.: if the .iso has 4GB, Win will tell you that they use 12GB on disk), but if you look at the drive properties, you'll see that free space doesn't change. All of this is for Win XP; on Win 7 you can create symbolic links, with the same basic functionality. The syntax: mklink <original-filename> <symlink-filename> There are also some free tools that do this job in the GUI, like Link Shell Extension. Hope this helps! - pettergulbra - 2011-03-16 Philmatic Wrote:Try the following: Sorry, did not work as I can se. I changed the names on the files as you wrote.. And updated the library. Nothing happend. enoklinger Wrote:pettergulbra, I don`t think I understod this... Look very complicated.. Isn`t there an easier way?? - ronie - 2011-03-16 this format works on my end: Airwolf.S01E10-11-12.iso - pettergulbra - 2011-03-16 Ok, now I have tried all of this, exept enoklinger`s.. that I did not understand.. Isn`t there a way at all to make xbmc understand that it is an dvd not just one episode? Or is there some settings I have to do? That I don`t know of? Hope somene else wants to help.. - jmarshall - 2011-03-16 The naming described by ronie works just fine. - pettergulbra - 2011-03-16 Bit the I have to ask one more question.. because I can`t see any difference in the library if it like I have in the first post. Than with this from "ronie". It shows all the episodes. And that is good. All works. But I want it to show that it is one DVD. Like Airwolf is 4 DVD. It shows up as 12 episodes. Could it show up as 4 DVDs, but is sais that it is DVD 1 Episode 1 2 3 and 4. DVD 2 Episode 5 6 7 an 8... And so on. Kindly.. - Philmatic - 2011-03-16 pettergulbra Wrote:Could it show up as 4 DVDs, but is sais that it is DVD 1 Episode 1 2 3 and 4. DVD 2 Episode 5 6 7 an 8... And so on. Unfortunately, no... XBMC has no concept of what media a TV show is stored on. An episode is an episode, that's as far as it goes. - pettergulbra - 2011-03-16 Ok, then I would say thats all.. Then all works nicely now.. Thanke everyone for the help! Kindly |
