some episodes won't scan into library
#1
Hi all,

I have quite a few tv shows that have been imported into xbmc successfully using thetvdb scraper.

I do however have a few that just refuse to scan, half the season or show seams to scan in then the rest don't even though they follow exactly the same file naming convention.

I have checked that these episodes exist on thetvdb and they do and would have for quite a while.

Can anyone help me out as to why this might be happenning. The example I have provided is for ugly betty.

For season 1 xbmc scans eps 1-8 fine but misses the rest (9-12).

Please provide a debug log with a scan that fails. You might want to delete the series from your db - then activate debug logging, restart xbmc and do a fresh scan of that show with logging enabled. Thanks.

worth checking the thread at http://www.xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=55334 also - me and a few others have had similar problems.

from what i could see, the only time i had problems was when i had used MIB to add some .nfo files, this caused weirdness.. if i deleted all the .nfo files and just let xbmc take care of all the scraping it worked perfectly.

there are debug logs of the process from a few other people in that thread also.

Ok doing a litte more digging I see that the episodes are actually being scanned into the library, which I can see from the logs. Also if i look at the season view of the show (ugly betty) where it has all seasons, season 1, etc

If i select season 1 it says 12 episodes however when I go into season 1 there is only 8 episodes showing (this is in library mode the entire time).

No I didnt.

I found after I changed out of transparency and to pm3 the episodes showed so I'm guessing something weird was going on with transparency.
