Tv show help - baha2012 - 2014-11-11

Hello i want to add a tv show that I have on my hdd to my xbmc tv shows but when I scan it using a scrapper it's not recognised,so what I want to know is how can I add my tv show without using a scrapper and I can just add my own artwork etc ?


RE: Tv show help - lizard-king - 2014-11-11

I think that's due to the naming of your files. Could you post an example of such a filename?


RE: Tv show help - baha2012 - 2014-11-11

Doctor who/season 1/An unearthly child
ep 1
ep 2
ep 3
ep 4
extras

That's just an example.
I think because I have extras for all my stories it's stopping the scrapers naming it properly.That is why I wanted to add it to my tv shows without using a scraper.

I mean the exact filename of an epsiode.Wink

When I used the TheTVDB scraper for the first time (a smb share containing recordings of my STB), i couldn't get any result due to of wrong naming of the files, f.i:
20141008 - Under the Dome.ts for Season 1, Episode 1
20141008 - Under the Dome_001.ts for Season 1, Episode 2 and so on ..

I renamed the files:
Under the Dome_s01e01.ts
Under the Dome_s01e02.ts

and also the folder names:
Series/Under the Dome/...

That works perfectly for me!

You can find further information on the WIKI

Is there a way I can just add them to tv shows without a scrapper ?


RE: Tv show help - lizard-king - 2014-11-11

Maybe by using NFO files. But I haven't tested that on my own.

TV Show NFO File


RE: Tv show help - baha2012 - 2014-11-11

How do I get nfo files ?


RE: Tv show help - lizard-king - 2014-11-11

You have to create them and put them into the folders.


RE: Tv show help - baha2012 - 2014-11-11

Ok is there a guide on how to create them and where to put them ?


RE: Tv show help - lizard-king - 2014-11-11

RE: Tv show help - baha2012 - 2014-11-11

Ok but how do I create one ?


RE: Tv show help - Hitcher - 2014-11-11

Be a lot easier to use the Renamer.


RE: Tv show help - lizard-king - 2014-11-11

You have to create a textfile and rename it to f.i. "tvshow.nfo".

But, as Hitcher wrote, renaming would be far easier. Wink


RE: Tv show help - baha2012 - 2014-11-11

This is driving me nuts.
Right this is what I have
Doctor who/
Season 1
Season 2
Right to season 26
Then in each season are about 6 more folders which contain 4 eps and extras
I want to create 1 nfo for the entire collection please help?


RE: Tv show help - Hitcher - 2014-11-11

Doctor Who (year)/season 1/s01e01.ext
Doctor Who (year)/season 1/s01e02.ext
etc
Doctor Who (year)/season 1/extras/filename.ext

The year is important.
