Hello, I'm having a little trouble adding a manually-created TV show to Kodi. I'm trying to add my World Series BR rips (go cubs) to Kodi, and I figured that using a "TV Show" format would be the most appropriate. Since it's not really a TV show, I put some NFO files together with tinyMediaManager. However, I'm getting some extra episode numbers added to the beginning of each episode name, and I'll be damned if I can figure out why.

Every other TV show episode in my library is shown in the format "01. - EpisodeName". However, the games that I'm trying to add have the format "1x01. - EpisodeName" (huh, it just changed from "s01e01 - EpisodeName" when I restarted). For example:



I can't figure out why it's showing the season number for each episode. The NFO files look like:

Code:

<episodedetails>
    <title>World Series 2016 Game 1</title>
    <showtitle>World Series 2016</showtitle>
    <season>1</season>
    <episode>1</episode>
    <displayseason>1</displayseason>
    <displayepisode>1</displayepisode>
    <plot>etc.

What the heck am I doing wrong?!

s01e01 means season one episode one. What is the problem? (And i cannot see your pic).

Huh, that's weird, I wonder why imgur ate the picture.



The problem is, I'm seeing:
1x01. Title
or
s01x01. Title

Instead of:
01. Title

This only happens on the series I created manually, I'm just wondering if there's some obvious XML option that I don't know about.

Hello Decoherent,

Definitely the correct decision using the TV Shows option.

That entry 1x01. That is normal. As @nickr stated above it stands for Season 1 x Episode 01.

You can modify it though. I am guessing for your cubs shows, you have created only 1 season, which means that you may have set "Flatten TV Shows" to "If only one season".

Go to Settings>Media Settings>Video and look for the "Flatten TV Shows" option and set it to "Never".

TV shows are treated as having a season, even if it is only one season. You never know when they will continue the series ... (refer, eg, Twin Peaks)
