Question 
Hi,

I'm struggling to index my TV shows in XBMC.

Can someone tell me what file/ folder structures are supported 'out of the box' without messing around with regular expressions? For example...

TV Show\Season 1\S01E01 - Episode Name.avi

I'm using Atlantis Beta 1.

Thanks in advance.

The way mentioned above by you comes up with good results. The scrapers were very flexible and TV content will usually be recognized.

Btw, are the scrapers working at the moment. XBMC at the moment recognizes the shows, but doesnt populate it with content at the moment. Same with you?

Thanks for the quick reply.

I've been experiencing the exact same problem.

Just tried the default (TheTVDB.com) scraper & everything's up and running.

It appears that (for me at least) the IMDb TV & TV.com scrapers aren't working atm.

Cheers!

I am having the same problems. My xbmc.log file looks like this:

So basically everything looks fine, but when I browse a TV Show in Library Mode, 'Family Guy' in the previous example, I have 0 episodes. The scraper points to

Code:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0182576/episodes

Which contains a list with all Family Guy episodes, but it seems that It does not retrieve anything from there. I am using XBMC 'Atlantis' Beta 1 on Tiger.

As opposed to the previous post, in my case none of the scrapers work.

TheTVDB.com worked fine for a few hours but has now stopped working for me.

I've tried the same process on a couple of different systems running XBMC with the same results, so it's not a problem specifically with my Mac.

TheTVDB.com website is currently down, nothing we or yourself can do but wait.
Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.

What about the others, e.g. imdb.com? For movies it works perfectly, but it doesn't work for TV shows (see my previous post). Maybe they changed the output so XBMC is not parsing the data correctly? You can see in the log I posted that the scraper is looking at the right URL, but doesn't retrieve anything from it.

Thank you, C-Quel. theTVDB.com is up again and now correctly gathers info for *some* but not all my TV Shows. Specifically, I've been able to grab content for Prison Break but not for Family Guy or Dexter. Others scrapers aren't working for me at the moment.

Probably just that not all shows have been copied to new site yet? try again in 12hrs or so i guess

It should all be live, you shouldn't be having any issues with any of your shows.

For me, it is still not working properly. If I selected to manually pick, I can choose between the shows, but no TV show shows up after selecting the right show.

Is it working for anyone now?

Thanks!!!

I'll give it a go later & report back.

Have you tried deleting your database & re-scanning?

It's working now! Thank you very much for your help. Previously, tvdb was replying a 404 to some of the requests, but it is fully operational now (at least for the shows that I have). XBMC is awesome!
