^^ Thanks.
There is no way to identify and import a showing without the proper XML tag. This is an issue with XBMC. You should raise a trac ticket against this with steps to reproduce.. I don't have any of these examples in my library currently (it rotates when it fills up) but I have seen them in the past.
You should include the filenames, the tvshow.nfo and the episode.xml from the folder. This will give the XBMC devs an example of how to reproduce the problem.
Like I said, I have none in my library currently, but I have experienced this problem before. I'm not quite sure what causes it because it is only on certain shows. Deleting the tvshow.nfo fixes it, but then some of the shows are not imported properly and the tvshow has no information about it in xbmc because it is not scraped properly. I think it has something to do with punctuation
I'm not sure what you are asking.. Just put a symlink in place of the original and have it point to the new file. mythicalLibrarian will do what you want it to on it's default settings. it even handles showings without information. It does everything... it was no small task to desing it, it took 900+ revisions to date. I don't have a problem with derrivitive work either. If you are asking for permission, go ahead.
I don't know perl. I'm not another perl hacker.
Let me know if there are any problems.

CrashX Wrote:I was planning on doing the something similar to this. Right now I have a script that converts to MythTV recording into Mp4 format using handbrake ( very fast ) and update the mythtv database and delete the original. My next step was too change the filename to XBMC format and put it back into mythtv library.
1) TV Show
Chuck.S02E01.mp4
2) Movie
Terminator(2010).mp4
Finally I would add mythtv recordings directory as video source and let xbmc pick it up.
MythTV has some built in perl scripts that does lookup to give you metadata.
