All scraping issues, look here!

th appdata folder is not where it's post to be ! in fact its know where to be fold

I have been looking for this on your wiki but fopund nothing! I would like to know howexactly XBMC is finding information for movies (and music) I mean, does it look at the name of the file, of the folder or whatever?
Another problem I am currently struggling with, is that I have several movies divided into 2 Files ( I did this to burn them more easily on CD). what do I have to do that they won't appear twice in my library?
Another thing I am wondering about is when I add my movies folder as a source and make xbmc scan for movies it won't integrate everything automatically into the livbrary.. why

If you use Ubuntu you can merge the two files using avimerge in terminal.

Hi, trying to add a show "Eastbound & Down" and I can not get xbmc to recognize it...the name is exactly as above in TVDB so I assume issue is with the "&" character.

I tried "Eastbound.and.Down", "Eastbound.Down" and "Eastbound" (how I found it on the TVDB web site) without success...any suggestions? Thanks.

EDIT : figured it out...did not realize you could select to add manually and edit the name used to search...worked perfectly.

Hope someone can help me with my long scraping times, I have everything up and running nicely, all my movies and tv shows are in the library and even when I don't add anything it takes around 20minutes to do an update.
Don't know if that is as it should due to a lot of tv shows and movies but it feels quite slow.

Here's the log.

I cut the log file in half due to size, it came out to 23k lines but it's mostly the same in the middle so I hope it's ok, otherwise I can maybe upload it somewhere...

how did you add the files manually? - im trying to add lost episode s06e00 to the library but its not picking it up im guessing again due to naming reasons - but it is shown in tvdb so i need to add it manually - any help?

It's a special so if you look at thetvdb site it has #58 there so rename it to S00E58 and it should be good.

worked a charm, thanks a lot fox

I'm having a problem with 2 files not ending up in the library.

In the first case, the folder heirarchy looks like this:

Movies/
Anime/
The Sacred Blacksmith/
The_Sacred_Blacksmith.1x04.mkv
The_Sacred_Blacksmith.1x05.mkv
The_Sacred_Blacksmith.1x06.mkv
...
The_Sacred_Blacksmith.1x12.mkv

The problem is that only episodes 4-11 get added to the library, even though I can clearly see episode 12 listed on thetvdb site. I turned debugging on and see this in the scraper xml log http://pastebin.com/m17647c7d, so clearly it's found it, but it's not available in library mode, just episodes 4-11.

The second issue is a Darker than Black OVA, which is listed on thetvdb as Special episode 3, http://thetvdb.com/?tab=season&seriesid=...7401&lid=7.

Once again, I see the entry in the scraper xml log, but it never appears in the library view. The file is named Darker_than_BLACK.0x3.mkv, I've also tried S00E03, S0E3, etc.

Any ideas?

Edit: Sorry silly me, I had absolute numbering turned on. I grabbed the whole scraper XML file to look and noticed that 1-11 had <absolute_number> values but 12 did not, as soon as I turned that off both missing files scanned into the library just fine.
