Movies are scraping fine but am having some issues with TV shows.
I've added the root folder that my TV Shows are in and MC will pickup all the folder names but won't automatically scrape by folder name. I'm not sure if this is the default behaviour. To add a show I need to individually click on each entry and hit the "TV Show Selector" button.
The second problem I'm having is that after using the "TV Show Selector" and scraping the file it will download fanart, folder.jpg, season thumbnails and tvshow.nfo properly. However, for some reason it generates a .nfo file for each episode with no information. An example of the .nfo file it generates is below.
Even if I click "Search for new episodes" it doesn't write the .nfo file properly. To get it to work I have to manually delete all the episode .nfo and then click "Search for new episodes" and it will then properly download the .nfo and episode thumbs. Oddly, enough if I then add a new episode it will download the .nfo and thumb properly when I click "Search for new Episodes".
Cheers for any pointers to getting this to work.
TV Shows have to be added individually, this is to prevent people adding shows, then scraping perhaps 100s of episodes for what could potentially be the wrong show. I will likely change this in the future so that MC attempts to scrape tvshows by the folder name, but still block the scraping of episodes until a user has confirmed it is the correct show.
As for the blank nfo files, I am not sure what you mean, using the "TV Show Selector" tab does not at any point create nfo's for episodes, the code simply does not exist, only the tvshow.nfo, fanart, poster/banner, and season posters are scraped.
Once the tv show has been added, selecting the "Search for new episodes" tab will cause MC to look for the episodes and then hopefully download the information and screenshot.
There are 3 reasons why the episode may not be downloaded.
1) TVDB is down
2) The episode does not exist on TVDB
3) The user has the sortorder set to DVD and TVDB only has Default sortorder.
All of these are easy to check, No3 is the biggest candidate.
The blank nfo is a bug, it should not be written, just need to add a check for the fail before saving the file.
