Solved TV Shows: Only show folders with shows in them
#1
I'm trying to re-create my DishTV DVR experience. I have a folder for TV shows which has sub-folders for TV shows that I get as they come out. Is there a way that I can tell XBMC not to display the folder for a show if there are no video files in there?

I'm using sickbeard to download the shows so it automatically populates the folders with pictures and other data before shows are downloaded. Again, I would like to get folders that don't have any shows in them not to appear when I'm looking at the TV Shows section of XBMC. As it is now, I have no idea if there really is a show in the folder without having to first go in. If it only shows up when there is an episode in the folder, this would make it easier to know that there is a show to watch.

Thanks for any help.

in advancedsettings.xml, add the following lines:

<advancedsettings>

<videolibrary>
<hideemptyseries>true</hideemptyseries>
</videolibrary>

</advancedsettings>
