I imported my tv series using the same reg expressions I use on my Xbox. The import worked great as all my episodes show up in the library. However, when I click on an episode to play it the mouse freezes for a couple seconds and then nothing happens.

If I go to file mode I can play them fine.

I exported my library to an XML file and reviewed the <filenameandpath> tags and they all look correct. They are the same format as my movies, which by the way work fine in library mode.

Anyone have an idea what may be wrong? They are all in DVD format. A typical path would be

N:\The Sopranos\Season 6\Episode 01-Members Only\VIDEO_TS.IFO

Thanks
Shawn

A debug log will probably indicate the issue.

yeah, i know why this is... there's a similar report on the xbox bug forum. the tv show scanner doesnt stack anything so all the ifo and vobs get imported and then auto stacked.

I see what you mean. Even though the path is for the Video_TS.IFO file, XBMC is loading VTS_01_0.IFO instead which does not work. If I delete VTS_01_0.IFO then it will load VIDEO_TS.IFO and then it plays fine.
