TV show found but not added?
#1
Hey.
I'm new to XBMC (I used it on my old XBOX a few years ago though).
After scanning through the video files I have on my pc (Most of them are MKV), XBMC found a few TV shows (Though it missed a lot, but that's not the problem).

Problem is - It finds the shows and adds them to the catalog, but it doesn't add the files themselves. When I go through the "TV Shows" menu, I can find the entry I want (Lets say Toradora, an anime), but it says 0 episodes. How can I add the episodes? I can easily play the episodes by going to Files menu, but that's not the point, is it?

Hope my question is clear. Also, while I'm at it, how can I add TV shows that XBMC didn't identify automatically?

Thanks!

make sure you use the correct naming convention for the files, see:

Thanks a lot, that did the trick.
Do I need to do the same for movies (movie.s01.e01) or is there a different way to name them (I have a movie in the scanned folder but it doesn't identify it)

EDIT: For some reason some of the episodes still won't be added to the library. I have copy-pasted the name of each file and changed the number of the episodes (and season if necessary).
This only applies to some shows, for some reason.

We are not diviners, any problem report needs to be accompanied by a debug log (see my sig).

I don't even know what an <episodeguide> tag or tvshow.nfo is. Again, some shows are added successfully, but some don't.
