For Season Artwork, would like the <season>-fanart.jpg show up as "season1-fanart.jpg" vs "Season 01 -fanart.jpg". Perhaps a new option for seasonX-fanart.jpg to be placed in the show's root, just in case someone is using the above setting for something else.

Newer XBMC skins are using this convention for season fanart.

What is the correct labeling/filename of a:
Season Fanart?
Episode Fanart?

First of all, let me say that I really like this program. A lot of stuff to configure, but after that it works very smoothly. I was wondering what the status update is on fixing the episodeguide tag in the tvshow.nfo. This prevents me from using the program for my thshows right now.

What is the "episodeguide" tag? What's in it, or should be in there?

I think its a .net framework problem...

Sorry I should have said. Same version of Windows on all - Win 7 x64 Enterprise. I can't confirm the version of .NET on the PCs that work, but on this one that it doesn't work it's .NET 4 which has been around since Dec 2010. I performed a repair installation of .NET but that didn't help.

I found a log file. On opening EMMr it puts the following into it:

Quote:Title: Error

I found this article, but I don't think I as an end user can do anything: http://www.davidmoore.info/2010/12/17/ru...4-runtime/

It's explained in this post earlier in the thread and the lack thereof in the tvshow.nfo created by EMM is preventing XBMC of scraping new episodes of shows that have been previously scraped with EMM.

Aha! So that's why once I've scraped a show with EMM, adding episodes requires me to remove the whole show from XBMC's library and re-add it.

A workaround for now is to scrape all the images and stuff for the new show and then remove the tvshow.nfo from the series folder. Then you can to add the show to XBMC and it will take care of the rest. Hope that EMM will support the episodeguide tag soon though.

I dont have this problem, but i proceed differently:
- Scrape a show with ember
- update XBMC-DB
- add a new episode to the folder
- update Ember-DB -> Ember create a new nfo & tmb for the new episode(s)
- update XBMC-DB -> no problem, new episode(s) be added

That's strange. When I do the same, the last step fails with me. I can only get XBMC to scrape the new episodes by scanning for new content for each show. In the XBMC log it states that there is no or incorrect episodeguide tag in the tvshow.nfo. Plus I find it a little cumbersome that I have to update the EMM-DB first, since I don't run this program on my HTPC and XBMC can scrape episode info fine.
