Thank you. I will try to help resolve the issues
Quote:1. I am ending up with about half of my shows in the 'Showings' directory. Is this normal? They are show such as 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon', 'The Amazing Race 17', 'Ultimate Engineering', 'Larry King Live', 'The Colbert Report' and others. What determines whether a show ends up in 'Episodes' and when it ends up in 'Showings'? I have had some tv shows where some of its episodes have ended up in 'Episodes' and some in 'Showings', such as 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon'.
When information cannot be obtained from TheTvDb, or if the episode has no identifiable information (no subtitle, or original airdate), it is a showing. mythicalLibrarian makes decisions based on available information. The show ID for generic programming, that which cannot be classified as an episode in any way, comes marked with a showID of SH*****.
If mythicalLibrarian determines that there is suitable information, but it cannot pull the episode or season from TheTvDb, it will mark it as what I call an "epi-show". Epi-shows get put into the --doover que. You can have mythicalLibrarian rerun the doover que by typing mythicalLibrarian --doover. Generic programming is already categorized as best as it can be and will not be rerun
Quote:2. Speaking of 'Jimmy Fallon', I have a couple of episodes that have ended up in 'Episodes', with a season number and episode number, but they did not get added to the library after an update. They look correctly named, but do not get added.
Please post the name and path of the episode. I can try to recreate the problem on my end.
Quote:3. I have about eight XBMC installs in my home! Laptops, desktops, Revo and a bunch of XBOXes. I would like to automatically update all of their libraries, but I am having problems. I was able to send notifications to one of my XBMC instances, and then send the Update Library command successfully with a single XBMC IP address in /usr/local/bin/mythicalLibrarian. But when I added a bunch of XBMC IP addresses to /usr/local/bin/mythicalLibrarian, I only get the notification, but not the Update happening.
You need to have the source set up on each XBMC installation. If XBMC is receiving communications messages, but there are no library updates, then there is a problem with the source. mythicalLibrarian sends two messages, one says "display a message" the other says "update your sources".
Quote:4. Lastly, if I wanted to completely start over, what do I need to delete? In other words, it would be nice to see a complete listing of all the files that get installed so that one could remove them for a complete uninstall. There seems to be files in /home/USER/.mythicalLibrarian as well as files in /home/mythtv/.mythicalLibrarian. Are the files in /home/USER/.mythicalLibrarian used? I run mythicalLibrarian as a user job from within MythTV, so I assume the version of mythicalLibrarian in /home/mythtv is the one that gets used. If so, do I need to keep the one in /home/USER? What is it for?
if you wanted to completely remove mythicalLibrarian, you simply run mythicalLibrarian --undo (reverts all changes), delete the user job from mythtv, delete the ~/.mythicalLibrarian folder, and finally delete the file from /usr/local/bin.
The ~/.mythicalLibrarian folder contains mythicalLibrarian's working files. It is the storage space for mythicalLibrarian's lookup files, the --doover que, --undo que, created folder tracking, and the comskip/NFO file tracking. It is also home to the DailyReport(a log of all files generated) and the output.log file(a detailed account of what happened during processing of each file). You can see what shows were processed each day by looking at the Daily Report folder. If you want to find out more about the episode, you can look at the output.log file. I wouldn't recommend changing anything in the folder, but it is good information.

Thanks, I'm trying. Hopefully we can get everything squared away in time for mythtv .25
