Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how my xml settings should be in the advancedsettings.xml file.

All my tv shows are as at -

e:\tv shows\Mad Men\Season 1\Mad Men - SO1EO1 - Smoke gets in your eyes

So, TV Show Name\Season\Name of show - season0 episode0 - name of episode.

I have created my advancedsettings.xml file and placed it under userdata directory.

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

Is this right?

Thanks guys!

You shouldn't need to add anything if that is your naming convention - they should be picked up by default.

Why do you think you need to add anything? Debug log of you scanning your library will be helpful (without your modifications).

Ok, when I go into tv shows under my library it says that I have no episodes or seasons and all the artwork is pixelated so i assumed my shows were not correct format.

PLease see my signature for how to post a debug log in the future.

Looking at what you have posted, its not scanning any directories that contain tv items. How have you set up your sources?

You're also running an old version.

Hi,

Will do that in future sorry for that.

I setup everything in the inital skin under video's so I add the to sources below.

I setup movies as > imdb
Then TV Shows as > TV imdb

I chose not to select any of the options at the bottom except to scan library.

not really fixing your general problem, but i hope the above is just a typo, as it won't work if you replace 0 (zero) with a big O..

oh, and upgrading is there any wiki notes as I couldn't find any on upgrading.

Thanks.

Note what azido said, don't use capital O in season/ep numbering.
Update to 9.11 alpha 1, your build is old.
Then try again with thetvdb.com scraper.

Update is simple, download the Windows binary and run it.

In the future if you have problems, follow the instructions in my sig.

Hi,

I updated to alpha and no changes.

My Tv show structure doesn't use a captial O or an o. It uses a zero = 0.

Are zero's not allowed at all.

Thanks guys for your help.

Hi, running build 24374 on Ubuntu Karmic and having trouble with the scraper for TV-shows. As soon as there is a nfo file for the episode, it picks it up, but if there isn't it cannot find shows or add them to the library.


The episodeguide tag is in place. Getting the same on all shows where I add new episodes. I I use an external tool and make it add nfo, XBMC picks them up in the library correctly. Wondering if I should change the search pattern, but according to this thread my structure should be ok.

Friends don't let friends use Camelot

My head is completely done in.

I have tried everything and can't get anything to load. I obtained a new series of tv show and it registered fine but nothin else does. It all has the same type of path and nothing is downloading except for this one that I just got.

Anybody pleaseeeeeeeeee.

Same advice as last time. Update to newer version, scan again and post full debug log if it still doesn't work.

I've well an truly updated to Alpha. Set content to tvdb. Ran update library.

Even removed tv shows and added again. Same issue.

I posted the error's from the log file. Still nothing.

Thanks

Sorry guys here is a better idea of the log. I removed everything re-added scanned and added to library. This will give you a much better idea of things.
