[vbat99]

Hi guys, first of all. Thank you a lot for all the work on this program. I recently switched to version 3.5 and had it scan all my tv shows. Every time I add an episode now however, XBMC doesn't scrape it when I update the library. Is this a known bug?

So, you are using Sickbeard to add episodes? Do you have Sickbeard post-processing metadata for XBMC? If so, XBMC will pick up the .nfo file regardless of what is in it. Any changes to that made by MC won't get importied again by XBMC.

I don't use Sickbeard, and so I'm only guessing here - vbat99 might have more of an idea.

I use Sickbeard, but disable it from creating the nfo or adding the thumbnail.

Instead, I have a small batch file that runs Media Companion command-line, scraping TV Shows. This way, Media Tags are present, the nfo is formatted correctly for MC ( found nfo's created by Sickbeard, slowed MC down something cronic), and the new episode is in MC's database (no need to 'Refresh Tv Show' to add in the new episode).

Batch file is as follows: (I saved with name of mc_com.bat0

Code:

e:
cd e:\temp2\mc 3.500
mc_com.exe -e

Where 'e:\temp2' is my location for my Media Companion.

Only other change is in Sickbeard's config.ini file. Add or Edit the following line, AFTER shutting down Sickbeard. Editing must be done after sickbeard is shut down as sickbeard re-writes the config.ini file on closing, overwriting and changes.

Code:

extra_scripts = E:\mc_com.bat

Hope this is of help.
