The read the debug log link - it shows exactly where the file is located on all types of OS.

I can find the file using ssh, I just dont know the Unix commands download it so I can post it here

I think Im getting closer, using the scp command, but not sure exactly how to configure

The following seemed to work, but not sure where the 'root' directory is on my laptop - cant find the file in c:/

scp root@192.168.2.3:/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/xbmc.log SandiesLaptop@192.168.2.8

If you can connect using ssh, then use sftp.

Thanks, I appreciate your help but still stuck!

So I tried

sftp root@192.168.2.3

get /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/xbmc.log

It seemed to work, says:

Fetching /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/xbmc.log to xbmc.log

But I still have the same problem, I don't know where this file will be downloaded to on my local computer/laptop! Not in c:/

Finally - I managed to use FireFTP to log in and download the files at the suggestion of a friend (thank goodness for Facebook!)

I have now downloaded the log, you can see it here: XBMC Log

Basically, I went into settings, activated debug, went to TV shows, tried to update library, it didnt find anything, I went back to settings and deactivated debug and downloaded. Hope thats okay

Anyone have any suggestions?

Which show has new content? Go to TV Show information and Refresh -> Refresh all episodes.

Grab the debug log of that if it doesn't work.

All shows - as stated in my first post, its downloading the show details, but it doesnt recognise that any of the shows have any episodes

Will have to wait on logs, thought I would try and install Plex to see how that goes, but something went wrong and now my ATV wont boot so trying a restore

Okay, I am now running ATV 5.1, XBMC Eden (thanks to all those who contributed getting XMBC to work with the new iOS!!, now if only I could fix this problem!)

I re-added all my TV shows, All shows were found, but only 2 random episodes, one each from 2 different shows.

I then aquired the latest episode of Game of Thrones - The Renamer renames an puts into my TV directory. Strangely enough it updated both the show and the episode without issue. Nothing else has been updated though - still missing most episodes for almost everything else.

I started the Debug log, removed 'Game of Thrones' from my library, then Update Library to see what happens. Again, all show and episode data for just this show found and added. You can see this from about line 357 in the log file below

Here is a log file from trying 'Update Library': http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=1135

I then tried going into the TV shows, hold 'MENU' > TV Show Information > Refresh to update one of the problem shows. Should be 3 episodes here, is finding none

THis is the log file from that: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=1136
