Star Trek First episode(s) problem..
#1
Star Treks The Next Generation first episode is actually the first and second episode.

For some reason I can't get XBMC to show anything after the first episode. I tried naming conventions, I tried editing the NFO file. Here is everything so you guys can see what I've done so far to make it work

I tried editing to NFO, but I don't know how it reads it. This is the NFO

What should I be putting in the episode tag to make it read as 2 episodes of the same title? I'm sure this is the exact issue why XBMC can't find the rest of the show, because its trying to find episode 2 in a seperate file instead of the same file.

any help would be nice...I wanna surprise my dad with this show today..

Hi !

I'm using naming like this:

Star Trek TNG s07e25-26 - All Good Things.. etc

Works fine with me.

Maybe your problem is related to the movie scraper you use.
I am using the standard XBMC scraper, The Movie Database
Also keep in mind that when you are in "file mode" you wil allways see the FILES (meaning you will see ONE)
So.... to check, always switch into "library mode". If correct, you will see your two episodes

Also keep in mind to delete (or set aside) the NFO file when your trying something else.
XBMC will always read the NFO, when it's there.


Lots of luck!
