TheTVDB Multiple Part Episodes Question

pingorcho · 2011-01-17 01:54

How is one supposed to name these kind of episodes?

I've enabled DVD order and rename the file as Animaniacs.S01e1.3-e1.4-e1.5-e1.6.avi but decimals are not getting recognized at all. Only the first part is scraped (in this case, 1.3). Any ideas?

Try removing the hyphen so that it's Animaniacs.s01e1.3e1.4e1.5e1.6 or Animaniacs.s01e1.3-e1.6 and see if that works.

I believe the hyphen tells XBMC to get episodes from e1.3 to e1.4 but there aren't any. Hyphens should be used when the file contains more than two episodes in order.

Same problem here.

Hmmm, same result.

Thanks but no.

I've already checked the wiki and there's nothing in there about using decimals in naming conventions. I know how to name regular episodes. My question is related to those eps in TheTVDB using decimals and the reason they're not being recognized in XBMC.

Read the topic next time.

If there's nothing in there about using decimals why are you?

Also, there's no decimals on the TVDB.

Animaniacs.S01e1.3-e1.4-e1.5-e1.6.avi

should be -

Animaniacs.S01e03e04e05e06.avi

or

Animaniacs.S01x03x04x05x06.avi

Doing that just scrapes the first part of the episode.

Didn't for me using a dummy file.

That doesn't make any sense.

Name used, XBMC build, scraper version, what series did you use?

Did you enable DVD order?
