TheTVDB scraper not picking up certain seasons of a TV show
#1
This problem is driving me slightly insane.

The TV show "House" ("House M.D." in the US I think) worked great for the forth season. However, once I started watching the fifth, XBMC never found the season. I ended up watching it through the file browser, which is somewhat annoying.

Now, starting to watch the sixth, the exact same problem occurs. XBMC doesn't list the season in my library. My folder structure is as follows:

<root TV directory>/<show>/<Season X>/<episode>

I tried using the exact same file name format with the sixth season as I did with the forth to no avail. It seems the problem isn't getting the information from the folder/file names, instead it doesn't seem to find anything in theTVDB matching the information. This is supported by the fact that I had the same exact problem with an external media manager (can't remember which one at the moment) - it couldn't scrape Season 6 either.

Oh, I've also tried the extra regexes from http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=51614

Does anyone have an idea what is going on here?

Are you using nfo files?

If you have a tvshow.nfo file you need to add the following to it:

Code:
<episodeguide>
  <url cache="73255.xml">http://thetvdb.com/api/1D62F2F90030C444/series/73255/all/en.zip</url>
  </episodeguide>


Also, you didn't specify how your files are actually named.
