Hi,
a few days ago I installed a new machine with ArchLinux and XBMC 8.10. For the filenames of my tv shows - which look like e.g. Heroes_SE01_EP01.mp4 - I had to put a regular expression into advancedsettings.xml. (My folder structure looks like e.g. /home/user/tvshows/Heroes/Season 1/)
The advancedsettings.xml looks like that (and is stored in /home/user/.xbmc/userdata/):
After this configuration, everything on my hdd was recognized correctly and everything worked fine.
Today I wanted to add a few files and therefore copied them into the corresponding folder. After that I started up XBMC and expected it - like it did on another computer I own - to load the missing metadata from the internet. But nothing happened.
I checked the following things and everything seems to be set up correctly:
- do the new files correspond correctly to naming scheme I used before?
- are the permissions set right and is the user who starts xbmc the owner of the new files?
- is advancedsettings.xml still existing and is nothing changed within it?
So now I don't know what else I can check. When I choose "scan for new content" xbmc seems to not find the new files. Although they are in the same directory as the old ones and I can even see them, when I don't use library mode.
I even tried to add the same files to an xbmc running on another machine and it worked correctly.
Do you have any idea, what's going on?
Thanks in advance,
mamr
