I used to use Dharma in Arch Linux quite often with no problems. I since got a new HTPC, installed Arch as well as XBMC 11.0 (first time with 11.0). I don't use scrapers to make my nfo files as I make them by hand. I can add movies and it finds my nfo files, etc and the library looks good. When I try to add my TV shows, it doesn't find anything. Here is an example of my directory structure for TV shows (mount is /media/tv/):

Code:

-Dexter
   -Season 03
   -Season 04
   -Season 05

Inside the root of the show (in this case Dexter) are my thumbnails, fanart, etc. as well as my tvshow.nfo. Inside each season folder is the video file, nfo file, and thumbnail file for each episode (named identically for each episode in the format "Dexter.S03E01.....")

Setting the content of the show it tries to scan but doesn't find anything. I've tried eliminating the season folder structure and putting them all in the root folder of the show which appears to work on scanning but the show doesn't appear in the TV Show library.

Below is a snippet of the log file when they are in season folders:

Code:

Any ideas what is happening? Am I missing something basic?

Thanks

At which directory level are you initiating the scan? "Dexter"? "Season xx"? At a higher level (e.g., "TV Shows") which contains the subdirectories for all your TV shows? If you are doing it at the "Dexter" level, be sure to enable the "Selected folder contains single TV show" option on the TVDB scraper settings page.

Thanks a lot. I knew it was something simple that I missed. That solved the problem. Thanks
