File information not being retrieved - adhawkins - 2012-08-17 Hi, New users of XBMC on my Raspberry Pi. Getting along pretty well with it on the whole, but I can't work out why one of my files isn't getting information correctly. I have the following files in a directory called "Yes Minister": Yes Minister - s00e01 - Party Games.mkv Yes Minister - s01e01 - Open Government.mkv Yes Minister - s01e02 - The Official Visit.mkv Yes Minister - s01e03 - The Economy Drive.mkv Yes Minister - s01e04 - Big Brother.mkv Yes Minister - s01e05 - The Writing on the Wall.mkv Yes Minister - s01e06 - The Right to Know.mkv Yes Minister - s01e07 - Jobs for the Boys.mkv Yes Minister - s02e01 - The Compassionate Society.mkv Yes Minister - s02e02 - Doing the Honours.mkv Yes Minister - s02e03 - The Death List.mkv Yes Minister - s02e04 - The Greasy Pole.mkv Yes Minister - s02e05 - The Devil You Know.mkv Yes Minister - s02e06 - The Quality of Life.mkv Yes Minister - s02e07 - A Question of Loyalty.mkv Yes Minister - s03e01 - Equal Opportunities.mkv Yes Minister - s03e02 - The Challenge.mkv Yes Minister - s03e03 - The Skeleton in the Cupboard.mkv Yes Minister - s03e04 - The Moral Dimension.mkv Yes Minister - s03e05 - The Bed Of Nails.mkv Yes Minister - s03e06 - The Whisky Priest.mkv Yes Minister - s03e07 - The Middle-Class Rip-Off.mkv XBMC is picking up full information for all of the episodes except for the 'Special', that is (I believe) correctly named with s00e01 (verified against the info at TheTVDB.com). I have a similar directory called "Extras", containing the following files: Extras - s00e01 - The Extra Special Series Finale.mkv Extras - s01e01 - Ben Stiller.mkv Extras - s01e02 - Ross Kemp and Vinnie Jones.mkv Extras - s01e03 - Kate Winslet.mkv Extras - s01e04 - Les Dennis.mkv Extras - s01e05 - Samuel L. Jackson.mkv Extras - s01e06 - Patrick Stewart.mkv Extras - s02e01 - Orlando Bloom.mkv Extras - s02e02 - David Bowie.mkv Extras - s02e03 - Daniel Radcliffe.mkv Extras - s02e04 - Chris Martin.mkv Extras - s02e05 - Sir Ian McKellen.mkv Extras - s02e06 - Robert Lindsay & Jonathan Ross.mkv In this case, the 'Special' episode does have all of the information. I have captured a debug log, which I've placed here: http://pastebin.com/wYHSKbrH This shows it looking at the Yes Minister file, (I brought up the info and the dialogue showed indicating it was trying to get information). However, there isn't much more information. On my version, I only have the option to turn on debug logging, not actually set the level. Is there something else I need to do to get any more information? How can I get the file recognised correctly? Thanks for any advice you can offer. Andy RE: File information not being retrieved - artrafael - 2012-08-18 Welcome to the XBMC forums.

Are you using a special regexp definition for your scraper (I'm just using the default)? Try opening the context menu on your "Yes Minister" directory and selecting "Update library" and see if it picks it up this time. By the way, since your thread wasn't specifically related to Linux and Live Support, I moved your thread to the Metadata scrapers subforum. RE: File information not being retrieved - adhawkins - 2012-08-18 No special regexp for the scraper that I'm aware of. Where would I check this? I'll try doing an update on the library on that directory and see if it picks it up. I didn't really think it was relevant to Linux specifically, but didn't realise there was a forum for scrapers. Thanks for moving it. Any extra logging I can enable to work out why it's not working? Andy RE: File information not being retrieved - artrafael - 2012-08-18 I just reread your original post and I need clarification on what you mean by the following statement: (2012-08-17, 23:02)adhawkins Wrote: but I can't work out why one of my files isn't getting information correctly.

The 'Specials' item isn't there (it is for Extras). If I browse to it video Videos -> Files, I can see the file, but it has no information attached to it all apart from the file name. Andy RE: File information not being retrieved - martin_z - 2014-03-09 Hi there Rather than post my own, I'd just like to say "Me too!" I'm using openelec "out of the box" (using an Acer Revo 3610) and I've run into exactly the same problem - all the "normal" episodes appear under "Yes Minister" but the special episode "Party Games" just doesn't appear. Happy to try any debug or post any log files from the system. I've even tried setting up my own (fairly minimal) .nfo file, but it still doesn't appear. My files are named as follows:- Yes Minister.0x1.mkv Yes Minister.1x1.mkv Yes Minister.1x2.mkv Yes Minister.1x3.mkv Yes Minister.1x4.mkv Yes Minister.1x5.mkv Yes Minister.1x6.mkv Yes Minister.1x7.mkv Yes Minister.2x1.mkv Yes Minister.2x2.mkv Yes Minister.2x3.mkv Yes Minister.2x4.mkv Yes Minister.2x5.mkv Yes Minister.2x6.mkv Yes Minister.2x7.mkv Yes Minister.3x1.mkv Yes Minister.3x2.mkv Yes Minister.3x3.mkv Yes Minister.3x4.mkv Yes Minister.3x5.mkv Yes Minister.3x6.mkv Yes Minister.3x7.mkv and all of them appear in the library under TV Shows->title->Yes Minister - except the special "Yes Minister.x01.mkv" Don't see what on earth I'm doing wrong. RE: File information not being retrieved - scudlee - 2014-03-09 Rename the Yes Minister special to s03e08 (or 3x8). In both cases I suspect you have DVD order enabled, and the DVD numbering for the special is season 3, episode 8, rather than season 0, episode 1. RE: File information not being retrieved - martin_z - 2014-03-10 Well, there you go. Obvious when you think of it. That worked beautifully. Thank you very much. |
