TV episodes not showing in Kodi - rujac - 2015-09-28 Hi, I am running Kodi on Android TV that connects to a media library on Windows 10 over NFS. I update and manage the library on Windows using Media Center Master before running updates in Kodi. This has been working very successfully however I've come across a problem adding a TV Show into the library. I'm trying to add the TV Show Transparent, I can successfully add it to my library and add metadata using Media Center Master. However when I update the library in Kodi it shows Transparent in the TV Shows list but doesn't list any of the individual episodes. The show is in the format Transparent S01E01.mkv. I've tried removing and re-adding several times and changing the name of the file to MP4 but Kodi refuses to list the episodes, I also have other TV shows in the same format that work okay. Can anyone help? Thanks RE: TV episodes not showing in Kodi - Tatts4Life - 2015-09-28 I too am having the same issue. Added several seasons of X-Files along with an episode of Doctor Who. I also added a movie. When I updated it showed that the movie was added and I found it just fine. But it didn't look like it added the tv episodes. I went looking for them and can't find them in my library. I've tried restarting my computer and switching to the default skin and still nothing happens. RE: TV episodes not showing in Kodi - VortexDK - 2015-09-28 I have had this problem too, several times actually. it usually happened when when kodi recognized the folder names for the tv show and the season, but didn't recognize the filename. but this only tends to happen when the filename doesn't match a proper naming convention. how did update the library ?, on some skins there's a difference between updating the movie library and the tv library. does Media Center Master handle the renaming and metadata download ? you could try and let kodi find the metadata itself and see if it shows up. you shouldn't change the name of the filetype, kodi doesn't care about the filetype, only about the codec inside the container. but it's probably best if the filetype is the same actual container. RE: TV episodes not showing in Kodi - Tatts4Life - 2015-09-28 While my experience isn't exactly like the original poster it's similar. I use MediaElch to grab all my info about the show or movie. Things like fan art, logo, plot, and other stuff. The file naming is the exact same it's always been for me. I don't change the file name either. RE: TV episodes not showing in Kodi - milhouse34521 - 2015-09-29 I am having the same issue with 15.2 rc2 after I added another client running Kodibuntu. My Windows machine hosts the files via SMB and the MySQL database that syncs all content to the multiple clients I have (also running 15.2 rc2). Movies work fine. TV Shows are stored as follows: The Simpsons/Season XX/The.Simspons.sXXeXX.avi Each episode has its own .nfo My windows install and one of the Kodibunto clients was working fine with rc2. I upgraded another Chromebox (copying the advancesettings.xml and sources.xml from another working Kodibuntu client). On that client, TV shows are listed in the library, along with the number of episodes. Clicking/pressing enter on any shows, however, doesn't do anything. I have confirmed that I can access the files if I through "Files" so I don't think its a file access/SMB issue. An example of the errors I am getting are here: Code: 07:05:02 T:140114016560896 ERROR: GetEpisodesByWhere failed (Also, in the above its using the netbios name to access the files, but I have tried both netbios and ip address with identical results.) Full log is here: http://pastebin.com/5uL8mPyM Thanks RE: TV episodes not showing in Kodi - dna3e8 - 2015-11-08 I just updated to 15.2 and am seeing this. Files added to folder structure. Kodi set to scan folders at startup. MCM addin .nfo files. Files are in kodi vie files. but if I us the library they don't show up until I select a show ans select refresh. RE: TV episodes not showing in Kodi - snofru - 2015-11-22 I have the same problem - I did not find a solution (for me), but maybe an explanation My MySQL-Server is running on my Buffalo NAS. I installed a complete new kodi database - same problems a described above. I also installed a MySQL Server on my PC - everyhting is working fine. The only difference is my MySQL-Server version. On my PC I am running a 5.6 release, while on my NAS it is a 5.0.70 Unluckily Buffalo never released any updates, and for many reasons I do not want to use my PC as a MySQL Server As I said: no solution, but maybe an explanation I did not find any minimum requirements by KODI regarding the MySQL version |
