I recently downloaded XBMC 9.11 Beta 1 for OSX and have been very happy with its performance as well as the new Confluence skin. After installing and the initial scrap of all my content (only movies and tv shows) I started ripping some of my tv shows off their dvds using mac the ripper in hopes of adding them to my library. I did a test with one episode and it worked perfectly, so I let the rest of the season rip and added the files to their proper folder and named (S#E# - Episode Title). After opening XBMC I watched as it scanned for new content, but then went away very quickly without noticing any of the new files I had added. To make sure I went into library mode and there was still only the first show that I had used to test and no others. However, in looking at the directory in file mode all episodes are present.
I then decided to get a fresh install hoping that this would right my problem. I went through the exact same steps as before, but with the fresh install all the episodes were in Library mode. I figured I had solved it and went on to ripping the next season of the same show. Again everything named properly and in the expected hierarchy of folders and again all the episodes will show up in file mode, but not in the more attractive library mode.
I've tried both "update library" and "scan for new content" options multiple time, but to no avail. Any help on this would be appreciated as installing a fresh copy of XBMC every time I want to add new content seems a little crazy.
