TV Shows are compressed in Library mode - Haligan - 2009-06-26

Some of my TV show seasons are being grouped into 1 large folder.

TV Shows
Lost--->
-1 Season
Season 4
Season 5
They look ok in file mode.
Lost---->
Season 1
Season 2
Season 3
Season 4
Season 5

I am at work so I can not attach a log but will tomorrow if needed.

Thanks

Definitely, since I have no idea what you are on about.
You have seasons 4-5 so it's not a matter of everything being lumped under the Lost show node.
Could it be XBMC is not picking up your Season 1-3 eps because they use an incompatible naming convention?

What is the setting of Settings - Video - Library - Flatten TV Shows?

Sorry for not making my point clear.
You are correct that I have season 4 and 5 so it probable is something with the naming. This is how they are named now.

Season 1
Lost - 01x01 Pilot.avi

Season 2
S02E03 - Adrift.avi

Season 3
S03E03 - A Tale of Two Cities.avi

Season 4
Lost - 4x01 - The Beginning of the End.avi

I thought they were all acceptable formats. I will redo them all tomorrow to S01E01.avi. I think that is the preferred tag. Is there an app for that?

Settings - Video - Library - Flatten TV Shows - Never

Hey thanks for the reply, I know that you have alot of ppl just jump on the forums and ask questions and never say thanks....

Those don't need renamed. Put a debug log of a scan on pastebin.com or similar.

Sorry for the late reply. Here is my debug log

I am thinking about deleting all the nfo and file info in the folder the videos are in( on server ).

Thanks,

Starting over with a completely fresh database/xbmc seems to be a good idea.

Hey thanks, that fixed it. I did not know you could go in and delete the data base so I removed and reinstalled XBMC. I really think it had something to do with Media Info Plus.

Thanks again...
