I'm no dummy with XBMC, but this one has me stumped. This has never worked for me in any of the versions of XBMC I've had.

My naming convention is "Show\101 - Pilot.avi" since I don't see the point in separating by seasons since the library does that anyway.

The show I am having issues with is "The 4400". It recognizes the show, and I'm using thetvdb.com as a scraper, which DOES have the episode info, but it refuses to scan the episodes. Nearest I can figure is it thinks "The 4400" is "The 44", episode "00", but I cant be sure. An example episode is "401 - The Wrath of Graham.avi"

Here is my tvshowmatching tag:

Code:
    <tvshowmatching>

        <regexp>([0-9]+)([0-9][0-9])[^\\/]*</regexp>

        <regexp>([0-9]+)x([0-9]+)[^\\/]*</regexp>

        <regexp>s([0-9]+)e([0-9]+)[^\\/]*</regexp>

    </tvshowmatching>

The xbmc.log file contains the following, which i generated by deleting the log file and rebooting, then manually refreshing the show:

your log file doesnt show XBMC is scaning

when at "TV shows" > select any1 > open the context menu & push "scan for new content"
You should see a line like this in the log

Code:
17:00:53 T:2532268944 M:1509695488   DEBUG: Process - Starting scan

then some waaays down ...

Code:
17:00:54 T:2532268944 M:1509752832   DEBUG: found episode based match /home/xbmc/links/anime1/golden.boy/[toma]_goldenboy_01x01_[53a5fa22].mkv [b](s01e01)[/b] [[\\/\._ \[-]([0-9]+)x([0-9]+)([^\\/]*)$]

the chunk in bold tells you what the regex has matched
& the lines after it will show xbmc scrapping

That's because debugging isn't enabled.

Enable debugging and post a new log on pastebin.com.

Thanks for the prompt reply, guys.

I had installed XBMC previously in december 2008 and that time I had successfully added loads of shows. This time I'm having problems with each show I'm adding. All the movies are loading up fine and even the music videos are being recognized. The only issue is with the tv shows. I tried all permutations and combinations and even changed the scrapers to see if it made a difference but nothing is helping. Sad

And you think your debug log may not help us helping you?

posted my debug log above - help anyone?

Ok crazy thing happened. Turns out I was breaking it all along.

In the begininning when I originally changed my episode naming convention from the scene standard to simply 101 - Pilot.avi, 102... etc, the scraper couldn't use that to scrape properly. So after some research I found the advancedsettings.xml fix which I've used ever since.

Well. I just installed XBMC on my laptop and added the source, and "The 4400" scraped the episodes perfectly and right away.

So as it turns out, they fixed what I had fixed, and my fix was breaking their fix.

Thanks anyway guys.

Slight bit of thread hi-jacking but I have the same problem but I have never touched advancedsettings.xml

A few days ago new episodes stopped being added to the library even though it adds overall show info.

http://pastebin.com/m2261d6c8

The above log shows what happened after I removed a show that had previously scraped fine but when i refresh it gets the overall show info but does not add the episodes. It is not a file naming issue as the files have been added successfully before.

currently on 22516 - Windows build

New movies are still going in fine but I cannot get any new episodes in at all.

Looks like you have an nfo file there with no real nfo in it.

Thanks for the reply but I'm not sure if that was it. I managed to get it working again this morning.

I think some of the settings got messed up last week while I was looking at other skins.

For some reason when I ticked "automatic scan" for the tv folder it was not remembering that setting, I'd go straight back in and it was unchecked again.

I went back to the default settings and after a restart and removing the shows with new episodes it picked them up.
