tvshows won't show up
#1
hi there

i'm running the official xbmc remote on a htc desire hd and controlling a atv1 with crystalbuntu xbmc 10.1, but for some reason tv shows won't show up at all in the app. on the atv everything is just fine (i guess) and when i connect my android to another xbmc (win7) the tvshows show up and i can control them normally.

thanks so much for your help

I have a folder.jpg (contains banner in default skin Confluence) each of the TV show folders.
Non of them Banners and Posters for Season show up on the remote, but there is no problem for Movie posters.

Version: v0.8.5-beta1 (Revision 730)
Phone: HTC Wildfire A3333 (Android 2.2.1)
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
XBMC: 10.1

How to resolve this issue?

Thanks for any tips

Well I added them manually, which gives you the same end result, just a little more work.

- put all your userdata\Thumbnails in one directory
- batch rename them to .jpg
- sort them on dimension so you'll pretty easily find all the banners
- resize them with a batch resizer to 2 sizes (medium: 800x147-ish small: 480x88-ish)
- batch rename them to remove .jpg and copy them to the right dirs on your sd card

takes 5 minutes

I will check your solution tonight and let you know about results.

I hope that Dev team fix it in next release Big Grin

Does the shows don't show up at all? Or are only the banners/posters missing?

If nothing shows up at all it would be good to enable debug logging in XBMC and make an example run to reproduce the error and post the xbmc and the remote log.

Hi,

I've copied folder.jpg and rename it to banner.jpg.
On "XBMC remote" I cleared cache and download TV banners again, after that banner shows up Big Grin

To resolve issue with TV Season Posters I've enabled debug log in XBMC, and found that problem was with Thumbnails files in location
Code:
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\Thumbnails
XBMC can't find any thumbnails files for all season posters.
So I re-add TV Shows source in Video and thumbnails files are created correctly.
Again cleared cache and download TV Season Posters but problem still exist for TV Season Posters, still missing Sad

My folder structure for TV shows is:

Code:
[Show folder]
   banner.jpg
   fanart.jpg
   folder.jpg
   season01.tbn
   season02.tbn
   tvshow.nfo
   [Season 01]
      Episodes here...
   [Seaon 02]
      Episodes here...

I think that problem is with thumbnails CRC/Hash hash.tbn

Example for House tv_series:

I've checked the debug log when XBMC Remote download "TV Season Posters" but I didn't found any action related with names:

c7416107
ca0247de
cec35a69
d0840a6c
d44517db
d9063102
ddc72cb5

My Solution:

1. Cleared Cache
2. Copied file c7416107 (.tbn create by XBMC for House Season 1),
3. Renamed it to 10f1e5df (searched .tbn by Android for House Season 1 )
4. Resize it to 2 sizes (medium: 79x115; small: 37x54)
5. Copy them to the right dirs on sd card:
SDCARD:\xbmc\Video\medium
SDCARD:\xbmc\Video\small
6. Run XBMC Remote --> TV Shows --> House
7. Results:

I have the issue that Some banners show when browsing TV - and in movies also only a few of all movies show! Is this the same issue you've got guys?
I have the Samsung galaxy S phone. When I use another remote app on my iphone (XBMoteC) - all pics show.
So I would assume it has something to do with this app...?
