I'm running XBMC 10.1 with Aeon Nox skin.
I'm having problems with some tv shows not showing up. I have some showing up under tv shows but says there are 0 episodes and some dont show up at all.
friday night lights is a show that under tv shows, shows up but says there are no episodes available.
all my tv shows are stored like: Y:\TV Shows\Friday Night Lights\Friday Night Lights - Season 1\Friday Night LightsS01E01.Pilot
most show up and work fine, just can not figure out why some wont work.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in Advance!

Mostly it's incorrect naming. The scrapers can be very annoying sometimes.
You say the filename is this:
"Friday Night LightsS01E01.Pilot"
I notice there's no dot or space between Lights and S01E01. Maybe just a typo here.

ok, just renamed them to: Friday Night Lights.S01E01.Pilot
so the full path is:Y:\TV Shows\Friday Night Lights\Friday Night Lights - Season 1\Friday Night Lights.S01E01.Pilot
i restarted XBMC, cleaned the library and then updated the library, and still doesn't show up.
I have multiple tv shows named and set up the exact same way. most of them show up and work fine in XBMC, only a few, like friday night lights, just do not work.
Any ideas?

try changing the path to
Y:\TV Shows\Friday Night Lights\Season 1\
But not sure why this should work the other series worked with the same format as you had orgiginally
and I assume you have an extension on the file itself (e.g. Friday Night Lights.S01E01.Pilot.avi)

heres what the log said:
DEBUG: VideoInfoScanner: No (new) information was found in dir Y:\TV Shows\Friday Night Lights\
says the same thing for every other show i have, so for some reason its just not displaying the episodes in xbmc.

It looks as though XBMC already thinks that the files are in the library. Try moving the actual video files somewhere outside your source path then do a clean library in XBMC. Then move the files back in and update the library again.
Just try it with one of them to start with and if that works we've got it sorted.

Ok I moved the folder from the directory where my tv shows are in to a completely separate hard drive. went into xbmc, cleaned the library, shut down xbmc, moved the folder back to the correct directory, and restarted xbmc and updated library. same thing, still lists the show with no episodes in it. I don't understand this.
I have gotten all other shows to work, except for this one and one other show, the other show doesn't even show up in the list, xbmc doesn't recognize it at all.

Sorry if you've already tried this:
I've seen you say you've updated and cleaned the library. Have you tried:
* removing the TV Show from the library (The entire show, not just an episode or season)
* Delete any nfo files (and any extra files in here that aren't video files) from the tv show directory
* Update the library
Again, sorry if you've already done this. I've had this issue before where the library just wasn't picking up new shows in certain folders... When i did the above, all fixed.
Good luck.
