TV shows the names of the program but none of the episodes. I'm using Jester's 17890

Might want a little more info here. file names logs....jesus anything really.

[althekiller]

Probably due to thetvdb having server issues. Search if you want more info, there are plenty of threads on the topic already.

I didnt have too many issues this past weekend. But still not up to speed on how it used to be. Still would like to see his naming convention on the files themselves.

I'm using the [name]s0xe0x method and it worked before.

Yep.. debug log will tell what's wrong.

I'm having the same issue. I've been having it for the past several weeks. I'm new to this project and I like what I've seen of the movies, music and weather but TV shows doesn't even show up unless I go out of Library Mode and into the file views. I'm using the build "pre-9.04 r19073 (Compiled: Mar 29 2009)" on an XP Pro machine and was hoping the newer version would fix this issue. Any ideas? I looked through the debug log but it's all but Greek to me. I'll gladly post it if anyone cares to see it.

Example of the path and my filename:

Code:

\\fs1\media\tv shows\mp4\South Park (2006)\Season 10\South Park.s10e1001.mp4

Try using episode numbers relative to the season:
South Park.s10e01.mp4

Otherwise I believe it's looking for episode 1001 in season 10 in the south park listing(which does not exist).

Understood. I took those number directly from the DVD case but I see what you're getting at. I'll give it a go...

Still no joy! Below is my naming scheme...

Code:

\\fs1\media\tv shows\mp4\South Park (2006)\Season 10\South Park.s10e01.mp4

I see them in the standard file listings but when I go to the Library mode, "TV Shows" doesn't even show up.

So let me get this straight, right now if you add a new tv show, the show itself will appear in the library, but the episode will not?

I assume this means you are setting content correctly. One thing you might do is look to see if there are any stray nfo files present. Sometimes those can cause the scraper to act strangely.

Where are you setting contents?
I am wondering if the mp4 is throwing XBMC off if you do it on the tv shows folder?
(But then my guess would be that you wouldn't even get shows, let alone episodes)

But please look at the below thread and the debug log requirement:

The files, themselves, show up in the typical file views but not in Library Mode. As soon as you check the box for Library Mode, "TV SHows" isn't even an option whereas "Movies" is an option to get into.


When I do a DIR or my directory with the MP4 files, I get this. There are no other files within the directory that are messing with the scrapers. As you can see, the directory structure is nothing exciting and the files are all named per the wiki documentation regarding "TV SHows."

Code:

Volume in drive \\fs1\media is WDMB01
Volume Serial Number is E0F7-6B12

The MP4 is the file extension within Explorer. Whitout it, the file will be useless. By default, I'm showing file extensions in my Explorer settings. Furthermore, my movies work fine and show up as they should in "Library Mode" so there's no reason why the TV shows shouldn't work, right?

I'll have to wait 'til I get back home in order to drop a copy of the log in here... I'm a network admin and I'm out of town a lot with my job so it may be a day or two before I get it to you guys.

The mp4 folder I mean, not the extension.
(Do you really sort your stuff by file format?)
Anyways if you don't get any tv shows in your library, that's most likely the culprit.
Try setting contents on the mp4 folder.

I can try renaming that directory. No, I don't sort my files by format . I have the raw (DVDFab) rips in another directory... Basically, when you drill down to my "\\fs1\media\tv shows" directory, you'll see 2 other directories inside it - "rips" and "mp4." My movies are set up the same way and they work fine... They are in "\\fs1\media\movies" and, again, you'll see a "rips" directory and a "mp4" directory. The "movies" directory and the "tv shows" directory are what have the "set content" settings. They are set for "movies" and "tv shows" respectively and are using their associated IMDB scrapers.
