I have been experimenting with XBMC for the past week. I must say that so far it's been a one way love / hate relationship.
I wanted to get all the perks of using scrapers for my tv series, so first i applied it to my share: the TV folder; which looked like this:
TV Folder
- never.mind.the.buzzcocks.s21e09.pdtv.xvid-remax.avi
- lost.s04e03.hdtv.xvid-xor.avi
that didn't work at all, and then i read i had to do it like:
TV Folder
- never.mind.the.buzzcocks
- season 21
- never.mind.the.buzzcocks.s21e09.pdtv.xvid-remax.avi
- lost
- season 4
- lost.s04e03.hdtv.xvid-xor.avi
that worked, and i got the cute tv banners all populated, show info working etc.. but no listed shows in the "season" directories in library view.
i tried to set the tv folder to not use any scraper and all those other tricks but i never managed to see any episodes in library view.
after about 2 evenings of trying to fix this i simply wanted to completely remove XBMC and try it from scratch. i deleted the xbmc.app, and the XBMC folder in username/library/application support/xbmc
i then reinstalled xbmc 0.1.4 and readded the tv-shows share, set the content to thetvdb.com and let it refresh stuff from the db.
this time it worked perfectly, i was able to see the shows etc even in library mode; except as soon as i clicked on an episode, XBMC froze up for a couple of seconds and crashed. this isn't just in library mode but in file mode too...
are there some other files I need to remove before i run a fresh installment of xbmc? :confused:
