So i've been trying to work through getting my television shows to add to my library...this is what i've done so far that hasn't worked.
My movies work perfectly so i'm assuming there is an issue with the add-on "The TVDB" being used as the scraping source because when i try to add the videos as a source I get the message,
"script failed randomandlastitems.py"
The pathway to my files is set up by the software "therenamer" that sets it up like this "G:\Television" then i have individual folders for the shows like this "G:\Television\Breaking Bad" and then the actual files are named "Breaking Bad.S01E01.Pilot.mkv" I have tried many times adding the shows individually or the entire folders of television shows and neither option work.
I even did a test and manually changed the name according to the standards on the xbmc wiki and still nothing. The folders are added to my library but they are empty containing no files.
I am aware that you can manually add them somehow with a .nfo file but am not too savvy on that, so if somebody could help with this or the original problem I would greatly appreciate it.
After that I tried using ember media manager and managed to get all the metadata for all episodes/shows but they STILL wont add to xbmc...
The metadata is there for the folder itself but because there are no actual files within the folders...according to xbmc.
Another thing i noticed is that if I change the source of the video from television to movie it does add the files to be able to be played but of course the artwork is incorrect.
This is a copy of my debug log, i noticed that it keeps getting the message "no information on file '____'", "file not added...."
This issue was happening last night and I didnt capture a log then and tried this morning and no longer getting the script failed message but it still wont add the files for the television shows just the folder.
