Won't see TV Show - kadeschs - 2012-02-19

I tried adding a TV Show, but XBMC refuses add it to the library. It acts like it doesn't see it. It sees all of my other shows just fine. Here's the file setup:

\TVShows\Awake\Season 1\Awake.S01E01.mkv

I don't blame anyone for not responding. I can't figure it out either.

A debug log will likely contain info that will help.

This one worked for me with that exact name and folder structure.

I hadn't yet included this show (awake) in my library, just did it and it went in ok.

What i do when i get a new series is (manually) create a file called "tvshow.nfo" (really all i do now is copy a file to the new folder and edit the info) and into this i put the show title and the TVDB info (link)

<title>Awake</title>
<set></set>
<sorttitle></sorttitle>
<ID>http://thetvdb.com/index.php?tab=series&id=248735&lid=7</id>

I now do this for all my new shows and i don't get any problems adding stuff to the library, the file is put into the tvshow's root folder and the ep's go in their season folders. Whislt getting the TVDB info i also get the relevent images and put them in the shows root folder as well, this saves xbmc from having to scrape the images. Ignore the set & sort tags for tvshows, i use the same basic file for movies as well.
