I have most of Futurama recorded and organized. I used to use sagetv to watch them but have been using XBMC more and more.
I imported them but the show metadata is wrong.
I used "the renamer" program to get everything uniform.
currently everything is organized like this:
Futurama\season1\Futurama-S01E01-Space Pilot 3000
Futurama\season2\Futurama-S02E01-A Flight To Remember.
etc
this is weird. Season 1 and 7 have metadata, fanart, etc and play fine. Seasons 2-6 just seem to have metadata randomly mixed up.
everything else is screwed. for example, season 2 ep2 will have all the metadata and fanart from another episode. I can't find a pattern.
the log will show the selected file being played. i.e. I play S03E02 "War is the H word"
if I goto season3 ep2 in XBMC it will have another title but it will play war is the h word.
I even deleted my video data base and started from scratch. same problem
I have renamed the files slightly to see if that helped (like using a - instead of a . for the separators. same results.
I thought maybe my original files names were wrong but i cheked online and found the following.
http://www.thetvdb.com/?tab=episode&...d=131204&lid=7
this says it's s03e02
wikipedia says it s2e17
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Is_the_H-Word
http://www.tvrage.com/Futurama/episode_list/3
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0149460/episodes?season=3
http://www.tv.com/shows/futurama/episodes/
all say s03e02 as well
I finally fixed it by using another scraper.
is the TVDB scraper using wikipedia for metadata?
I'm posting this in hopes it helps someone.
