Ok so I got a weird problem going on with my Gbox MX2 gotham install, I have asked for help in the forum over there with out any response as of yet. Anyway my tv shows library, scans and scrapes just fine. Items will show up in the recently added playlist, in the widgets etc. If I browse to Tv Library I am able to browse a list of my shows and episode counts, then once I enter a title I am presented with the up a level "..". I have tried multiple skins, rebuilding my library, replacing the database with a database from a known working installation, changing library settings. Really scratching my head on this one anyone have any suggestions?

I'm having this very same problem using the latest Gotham release on a Windows 7 PC. I've scoured the wiki and I've combed through all the "How-to" guides, but nothing pops out as a fix.
My TV shows are (mostly) saved in Video_TS format as I just ripped the DVDs straight to the hard drives. I have a few shows on Bluray, those are saved as ISO.
The naming convention remains the same though
Drive:\Show Title\Season #\Disc #
Anyone have thoughts?

Keep reading
Naming_video_files/TV_shows#Examples (wiki) it explains what to do with episodes on isos with dvd structures and bluray structures and how to deal with that.

What are your flattening settings at? I had the same problem till I turned flattening to always, then everything showed up, its just they are all in one list.

I tried setting to flatten alwarys and it did not correct the problem. I have tried all the various settings I can think of now in terms of flattening, and naming - having tried each of the variations given in the wiki now. Nothing seems to be correcting the problem. For whatever reason, XBMC does not want to open my television shows without going into the "Files" section and then browsing from there just as if I were using Windows File Explorer.

Tolkien - how about sticking with one thread. Still think your not setting the source properly - see your Windows thread.

Hi guys,
I want to join this discussion because it seems to me it could be buggy.
I have a weird trouble too.
Let me describe my setup.
I have a Master Profile with all movies saved on a NAS (nfs share) like that
Video
-----Adult
----------Movie
--------------movie 1
--------------movie 2
--------------movie xxxxx
----------TVShows
--------------THShow Name
---------------------Season 01
----------------------------- TVShow Name S01E01
----------------------------- TVShow Name S01E02
---------------------Season 02
----------------------------- TVShow Name S02E01
----------------------------- TVShow Name S02E02
Profile KIDS FR:
Video
-----KidsFR
----------Movie
--------------movie 1
--------------movie 2
--------------movie xxxxx
----------TVShows
--------------THShow Name
---------------------Season 01
----------------------------- TVShow Name S01E01
----------------------------- TVShow Name S01E02
---------------------Season 02
----------------------------- TVShow Name S02E01
----------------------------- TVShow Name S02E02
and a last Profile:
Profile KIDS FR:
Video
-----KidsDE
----------Movie
--------------movie 1
--------------movie 2
--------------movie xxxxx
----------TVShows
--------------THShow Name
---------------------Season 01
----------------------------- TVShow Name S01E01
----------------------------- TVShow Name S01E02
---------------------Season 02
----------------------------- TVShow Name S02E01
----------------------------- TVShow Name S02E02
So by the Master and KIDFR Profile everything is alright (language settings are on French), I can go to move sections and under the tvshow main menue I can browse there and get the shows and after that I see the seasons and finally the episodes.
On the last Profile KidsDE (set to german) I see the movies but by the TVShows there is only the tv shows title and nothing after that, just empty... (I set Flatten TV Shows on Never and the filter to hide already seen is not enabled). When I go to the Files and browse the share there I can see the structure with seasons and everything.
I don't see any errors in the log so yes I think something is wrong...
Any other out there with such strange behaviour?
Best Regards
Chris

@Cberthu:
Make sure your sources are set correctly.
Movies = Video -> KidsDE-> Movie
TV = Video -> KidsDE -> TVShows

Hi all,
I get a closer look to the debug log and I might have found something. I just want to share it with you.
I have all my libraries saved into mysql.
For the profile Adult (Master profile) I have my DB on NAS and the two Kids Profiles (DE and FR) have their DB on another NAS, but their share the same mysql DB, the trouble is that this one TV-Show (Supernatural) does have the same name in french and in german too.
When the scan is running I saw that it tried to get the French path for the TV-Show even I am running the scan on the Kids DE Profile with is german.
I will try to set another mysql instance to see if this is the issue.
Are you thinking that might be the problem? Any thoughts?
Best Regards
Chris

Hi all,
Problem solved!
I had to setup a new mysql instance for the profile. Now I have all xbmc profile having his own mysql database.
I had expected that all could be running on one db but the indexes or keys are set so if you have several movies or tv-shows in different langage it can run into conflict...
Best Regards
Chris
