I'm kinda new to xbmc, but I figure things out and it was working well until now.
Im having trouble to get the TV show "storm chasers" to show up. using the scrapper thetvdb. ( and have tryed the other ones)
Without anny luck.

the tv show is on the homepage, but why is it that xbmc would load it?
I tryed to search thrue the web, but didn find something.

Im running Xbmc bunto. if it has anny influence.

i hope you guys can help.

Welcome to the XBMC forums.

Did you organize your show's folder and episode files as outlined here and did you name your show's episodes using the season and episode numbers based on what's shown on tvdb.com for this show? For example:

Code:

Storm Chasers.S05.E07.xxx

for the season 5, episode 7 ("The Storm Within").

You can also use the naming convention

Storm Chases 507.

Or if you'd also like the episode title in the filename, (not required, but personal preference on my part) you can do this

Storm Chasers 507 - The Storm Within.

I just tried this.

Storm chaser - Season 1 - storm chaser episode 1.avi

and thetvdb thinks the whole thing is Formula 1 racing ? :S

even tried to rename them different.

[artrafael]

Did you try either of the naming conventions activoice and I suggested in our posts above?

Also, the name of the show is "Storm Chasers".

[wuho]

yes i tried them

I just miss typed.
It's named Storm chasers on the media center

should I make some screenshots?

What are you trying to represent with the dashes in your example?

Code:

Storm chaser - Season 1 - storm chaser episode 1.avi

Are you trying to show your directory/file hierarchy for this show is as follows:

Code:

Storm chaser (directory name)
     |
     |____ Season 1 (subdirectory name)
              |
              |_____ storm chaser episode 1.avi (episode filename)

Or is this the actual file name for this episode?

Code:

Storm chaser - Season 1 - storm chaser episode 1.avi

Right now i did like this.

Storm chasers (directory name)
|
|____ Season 1 (subdirectory name)
|
|_____ storm chasers.S01.E01.avi (episode filename)

And it went up with FORMULA 1 racing.

In order for the scraper to work correctly, you need to be organized, precise and consistent. Try the following and pay special attention to your spelling and capitalization of the directories and file names.

Code:

Storm Chasers (directory name)
     |
     |____ Season 01 (subdirectory name)
              |
              |_____ Storm Chasers S01E01.avi (episode filename)

Be sure you scrape from the top-level directory ("Storm Chasers") to pick up all your episodes.

If you've set the Storm Chasers folder as your source, you need to make sure you set the "Selected folder contains a single TV show" setting in the Set content dialog, otherwise XBMC will assume the subfolder names (i.e. "Season 01") are individual series names.

Yes, that's a very important point I forgot to mention. Thanks for the reminder!

I tried it with the box checked and without. Still no luck

how i did is this setup.

i added "tv shows" ( thats the name on my folder on the HDD where all tv shows are"
The folder contains "family guy" "viva la bam" "american dad" "storm chasers"
All shows do show up, with pictures, info etc. except "storm chasers" <-- and thats my favorit show.

I tryed to rename it in 100 ways

Is there some other good scrapper arround ?

[wuho]

i give up guys.

[leepenny]
