I've used Media Companion (3.4 I believe) on a PC for a year or so, mostly successfully. I recently got a new Mac and through Boot Camp, tried out 3.4.2.6. Movies work without a problem for me, but I'm having all sorts of problems with TV shows. Many of my shows look okay at first glance, but when I open them up to display the seasons and individual episodes, there are no episodes listed. For instance, Looney Tunes displays the correct art and show info for the show in general, and even displays the seasons correctly, but there are no plus signs to display the episodes from individual seasons. What's more, many other shows do not show their correct season information, but instead show the same exact list of seasons that Looney Tunes shows, again with no plus sign to open the list of episodes. Many other shows work perfectly fine. Also in TV shows - even though I have ignore articles selected in preferences, shows are sorted using "the," "a," etc. In Movies, it ignores "the," but not "a." If I open up MC back on my PC again, none of these problems are present. Both computers are accessing the same folders on an NAS, so they're just loading the same files.
In an unrelated issue, MC won't load any info for season 1 of The Muppet Show, saying "Could not locate this episode on TVDB, or TVDB may be unavailable". Episodes I have that are specials, or season 0, show up fine. If I go to thetvdb, the episodes are all there. This problem exists no matter which computer or version of MC I'm using.

I'm having trouble scraping TV shows with 3.430. As has been typical with Media Companion for the past several months I'm getting the "thetvdb.com may not be available" message for some new episodes I've added. Also, when I select "Check roots for new shows" I see a dialog that says "Change saved" and that is all that happens.

Is anyone else having trouble seeing the settings page? Some movies are not getting trailers when I know they exist but one of the settings isn't visible for me. When I am not using the XBMC scraper I have options involving trailers that I cannot see. It says "If selected resolution unavailable then" but the next line is cut off. Is there something there I have to check?
Basically I am asking if I can see the rest of the options, or if anyone can help me get MC to find more trailers. Thanks!

Is anyone else having an issue getting the TV Episodes to scrape and keep the "min" title out of the runtime. I have the settings set to numerical only (which seems to work with movies) but with the TV shows "min" is still present.
Any easy fixes or ideas?
Thanks!

Sounds fair enough. I'm sure there is something we can do.
