I am searching for a way to get the actual TV Show folder.

For movies if you use ListItem.FolderName it will display the actual movie folder (when in library and dialogvideoinfo.xml)
Example:

Code:

Z:\Films\Algemeen\Batman Begins (2005)\Batman Begins (2005).mkv

returns

Code:

Batman Begins (2005)

If you use this on tv shows it return the main folder (when in dialogvideoinfo.xml)
Example:

Code:

Y:\TV Series\Doctor Who (2005)\(season folders)\(episode files)

returns

Code:

TV Series

However when in library it returns:

Code:

Doctor Who (2005)

How can i get the actual tv show folder "Doctor Who (2005)" ?

This seems to be working in library however not in DialogVideoInfo.xml
Is this a bug?


To bad there's also no "Player.FolderName " available only the one for the full path.
The intention was to fully support a seperate artwork folder so it doesn't have to be stored along with the media files. This way browsing could be improved cause the media disks does not need to spin-up until a file is played.

@pieh (or maybe some one else)
Do you have some insight on this.

Should i create a trac ticket for this?

Maybe a request for "Player.FolderName" that has the same property as "ListItem.FolderName"?

Is there something new with this issue?

I found that Trac Ticket #12244 was closed as obsolete but from my point of view problem still exists (Gotham B2).
ListItem.FolderName contain correct value in MyVideoNav.xml for movies, tvshows and episodes, in DialogVideoInfo.xml it contains correct value for movies and episodes but for tvshows there is media source name instead of tvshow folder.
