Hi
I am not able to add media files to my library in XBMC. Even after adding sources it appears empty. I follow naming convention as :
TV Series\30 Rock\Season 1\101.avi

I have added advancedsettings.xml file in my userdata folder :

Code:

<advancedsettings>
    <tvshowmatching>
    <regexp>Season[\._ ]([0-9]+)[\\/]([0-9]+)[^\\/]*</regexp>
    </tvshowmatching>
</advancedsettings>

I add the TV series folder in sources and select the recursive and auto scan option and tvdb as scraper. It shows some retrieving info dialog and when it completes my library is still empty. Even in files mode when i press info button it asks me the Tv show name again and again.
Even log file in my userdata folder doesnt have any useful info related to that. I have a 24x7 internet connection behind a proxy which i configured in xbmc.

can someone help me solve my problem.

thanks,
krish

Get rid of that regexp (which is wrong) from advancedsettings.xml for a start.

One presumes your proxy is working OK - proxies with other than basic authentication may not function using XBMC's built-in proxy stuff. If you get the RSS feed or weather then that's fine.

Otherwise, Debug Log while attempting to scan.

Cheers,
Jonathan

I removed the regexp from advancedsettings.xml file but still no update in the library. I'll appreciate if you can you tell me the correct regexp based on the structure I have.
<Show Name>/Season 1/101.avi

Also where should I look for debug log. Do I have to turn on some debug switch to see it.

Also since my plugin AppleMovietrailers works, I guess my proxy settings are OK.

XBMC ignores season folders as far as I'm aware so it can't tell if 101 is season 1 episode 01 or season 10 episode 1.

I do agree with you. I just need the correct regexp that I can add to my advancedsettings.xml for scrapers to work.

Or you could rename your files...

Nah, that's way to obvious.

Since I have around 200 files, it wont be possible for me to rename all files.

Renaming is for the weak

try this:

season[._ ]?(\d{1,2})[\\/]\1(\d{2})([^\\/])*

also make sure advancedsettings.xml is named exactly that case sensitive

I've sorta got the same problem. On most of my TV shows it shows nothing for episodes. Even when I go to refreash, it starts, then stops at 4% and will hang there forever unless I turn XBMC off. I am pretty new to this so the original poster knows more about this then I do I am sure. My files are like this:

TV Shows/battlestar galactica/battlestar galactica season 1/battlestar galactica S01E01

I can play everything one my drive, I just have to do it with the files and not the slick interface of XBMC. I hate tagging onto anothers post, but maybe I have a similar problem. Maybe not though.

[krish1985]

Not only the TV Series but even for the movies XBMC doesnt add it to the library.
My Movies structure is like:
Movies/<Movie Name>\CD1.avi
\CD2.avi

Also on the weather settings when I go to the enter city name dialog(virtual keyboard), after entering the name it doesnt change.
I could think of some problem with some network settings, but since the AppleMovieTrailers works, I guess my network settings are OK.

season[._ ]?(\d{1,2})[\\/]\1(\d{2})([^\\/])*

I tried, went to movies source and clicked the scan for new content in context menu, still my library is empty.

Also, I could not follow when I press info button on a specific movie folder in files mode, enter movie name dialog appears again and again.

It looks like XBMC isn't finding an internet connection. You might want to try the Babylon Alpha build.
