Hi everyone,
Sorry to bring up what is probably a well-worn subject, but I was hoping somebody may be able to help with some XBMC frustrations I'm having?
I've recently aquired a new NAS device with XBMC v11 installed. On the NAS, I have hundreds of DVD folders which are backups of our original discs. The movie side of things seems straight forward, but TV shows are proving complicated.
For instance, I have the boxset of a show called Father Ted. 5 discs which have all 3 seasons on. The show appears at TVDB and all appears good. However, for the life of me, I cannot get the scraper to recognise the discs for inclusion in the library. It shows Father Ted as being in the library, but when I select it, the list is blank. I've looked at lots of past threads on similar subjects and I appreciate this has been an ongoing issue. I've tried lots of ways of renaming the DVD folder (i.e. for disc 1, I've tried Father Ted.s01e01e02e03e04e05e06 etc) but I can't get the scraper to pick these up.
I appreciate that DVD folders aren't the most ideal way to store shows for this purpose, but I really want to keep them as a 'pure' backup of the original discs should they get lost/destroyed and I always want to keep things like menus etc.
To compound matters, I am new to the world of XBMC. Also, my NAS is (I believe) a Linux-based device which I am rather unfamiliar with.
Am I missing something very obvious here or can anyone help? Any input would be gratefully received.
Regards,
Rich
