If not then

But thanks for the Great work absolute numbering was a much needed addition to the scraper (i'm surprised it wasn't in there before)

Sorry ... I was planning this after releasing the first absolute_numbering system I felt bad to check/unchek the option for some anime that had only 1 season, and which was not tagged with absolute_numbers.

But hey ... I really glad to see that I'm not the only one thinking this way

I love this addition, a couple of my anime shows did not have absolute numbers on tvdb, but they make it so easy to add them, that I was up and running in about 10 minutes. I was able to add all of the absolute numbers to initial D in about 5 minutes, and GTO in about 3 minutes.

Do you know btw if there is a way to add absolute_number in a easy way other than clicking every episodes via the web interface ?

Concerning dragon bal, for instance, that will be incredibly long ...

No I dont, the reason its a little bit easier for me, is because my mouse has an auto scroll and click, so i set it to automatically scroll down the page and click in a certain spot so all i have to do is click then enter the number and click then enter the number etc.

I have dragonball and dragonball z, but i decided to leave those as is, because first of all there are way too many episodes, secondly I believe the japanese version has more episodes (i could be wrong though).

If you really want to, theres 15 seasons. I could knock out about 3 season maybe you could do a few and if someone else lends a hand we could get them all done a lot quicker

Any update on this at all?

Well the patch has been submitted last week ... But the team, I guess, have a social life I guess ... so It will be applied one day

http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/5860

Just have to wait or try the scraper which is attached to the patch ticket.

I just downloaded the tvdb.xml, but its not working the way it should for me. It works exactly like before but it still doesnt get my season 0 episodes.

they are named
Naruto 0x04 - It's the Snow Princess Ninja Arts' Book! (Movie 1)
etc.
Any Ideas?

ah I had this problem too on my "production" XBMC while I wasn't getting this error on the "developpement" XBMC...

The only thing I can think of is that I changed internally the name on the variable that is used to switch between absolute to normal ...

I managed to correct it by re-scanning the whole source.

However, it might lose some info ... such as viewed episodes ... but I'm not sure of this point.

How difficult would it be to alter absolute number so that it simply used absolute number to find the episode. Then correctly fetched into the library the actual season #s etc. This would help save scrolling in some of the longer series.
I'm willing to figure it out if its actually possible.
