File Will Not Show up in Library - zubbs1 - 2015-03-22 I'm trying to get several videos that I want listed in tv shows that don't have scraper metadata available. My understanding is that in order to accomplish this, you must create a tvshow.nfo file in the same folder as the video. Here is what my tvshow.nfo file contains: Quote:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> The Halo Landfall (in this case) will show up in the list, but when selected, the video file is absent. I have tried "Halo Landfall S01E01" , "S01E01", "1x01" and nothing will get the file to show up in my library. I have several other video files that are this way. Am I missing something? I even got the ember media manager in hopes that my .nfo file was missing something. It however did not change the outcome. I am new to this, and am attempting to learn so would appreciate any assistance available. Cheers.

Also not all videos that fail to populate in my library are properly publshed, such as a compilation of cutscenes from the Halo video games. These are closer to 'home' videos. There has to be a reason why the video is not showing up. Re: File Will Not Show up in Library - nickr - 2015-03-23 There is info in the wiki about that. RE: File Will Not Show up in Library - Prof Yaffle - 2015-03-23 Looks like you've got tvshow.nfo (for the series) and the episode-specific nfos confused. You should have a tvshow.nfo in the root of the series that describes the show, e.g. Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?> And then have the episode-specific entries alongside each video file, e.g. Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?> ... named appropriately (so Halo.Landfall.S01E01.mkv has Halo.Landfall.S01E01.nfo - identical name to the file other than the extension).

I hadn't realized that there were episode .nfo files. Thank you so much! |
