TV Shows problem - bhenning - 2012-01-27
Hi,
I have run into a problem when trying to set up TV shows.
On my SMB server, I have a share 'vol3'.
In vol3, I created a "TV Shows" directory, in which I created a "Star Trek" directory.
I added vol3\TV Shows as a video source; and it did scan the Star Trek directory, but it does not find any of the episodes!
I have tried many ways of naming the episodes:
startrek.s02.e41.MP4
tv.startrek.s02.e41.MP4
star trek.s02.e41.MP4
obsession.s02.e41.MP4
but whenever I navigate into Videos -> TV Shows -> Star Trek
I was testing the above on Eden beta 2, Windows 7
Help!
the episode list is empty.

startrek.s02e13.mp4
is 41 just an example as there were only 26 in s2 and obsession was 13

Forget the names.
To get thetvdb to scraped the episodes perfectly, just name them.
Fx. 2x41
Put every season in their own folders.

Thanks dizzyikea; that did the trick!
I was using the episode numbers from wikipedia, now I will subtract the "season offset"

You're welcome, I have about 15 different tv shows, and I don't have a problem scraping any of them when I'm not using names.
In dvd order it's the same.
fx 1x01-02-03-04.iso for the first four episodes.
If it's specials or bonus.
It need to be named 0x01 the next special 0x02
Everything will allways work this way.
