Firstly I hope this is in the right area and i apologise if it isn't.

Noob here with a problem - Basically I have put the TV series 'Life on Mars' on my XBMC computer. The problem is that XBMC keeps listing the episodes as specials (dvd extras) instead of the episodes i.e. instead of listing season 2 epsisode 1 is lists a special (or DVD extra whatever you want to call them) of "the making of episode 3" instead. I have tried various numbering schemes and also 'DVD order', 'Aired' and 'Absolute order' but with no change.

I can't believe I'm the first person in the world to put life on mars on XBMC so can someone tell me how to do it with the episodes listing properly? I've tried the search engine here but not come up with anything.

I'm running I think it's version 9.11 for Win7 (I downloaded it from the XBMC main site about 3 weeks ago?) with the confluence skin.

Many thanks for all help.

BTW absolutely loving XBMC - excellent program!! Smile

US or UK?

How are they named?

DannyT · 2010-09-11, 00:02

UK version.

I'm naming them 2x1.mkv or 2x01.mkv or s2ep1.mkv

As you can see on you link season 2 order is:

Episode 1 - Helpless
Special - The return of life on Mars
episode 2 - the safe cracker
episode 3 - the bombing
special - behind the scenes of s02e03

etc etc

Mine list as

2x1 the return of life on mars
2x2 behind the scenes of s02ep03

The goes on to list all the specials as epidoes 2x3 to 2x6.

Finally i get episode

2x7 listed as it should be - The shooting and like wise episode 2x8 - Undercover.

Now I have tried listing the files as mentioned above but aside from s02ep01 etc I have not used the letter 'S' at all, which is what I thought the scrapper used to identify 'specials'?

So I am totally confused.

Debug log of you doing a a scan is the first thing needed, it will show why they aren't being picked up.

S is not used to denote specials, not sure where you got that from? Specials are prefixed using Season 0 i.e Life.on.Mars.S00E01.An Interview With Production Designer Brian Sykes.mkv

The recommended naming convention is show.name.Sxx.Exx.ext where Sxx is the Season and Exx is the Episode number, i.e Life.on.Mars.S02E01.avi

Ok I renamed the individual files according to the naming convention you gave above. Now season 1 has episodes 1-6 listed as specials instead of the correct episode information and episodes 7&8 listed properly. Season two has episodes 1-6 listed properly with episodes 7&8 listed as specials instead of the correct episode information.

For the purpose of debugging I altered the filenames of season 2 eps 7 & 8 to a filename that XBMC wouldn't recognise (.bak extension). I started XBMC and tried to access episodes 7 & 8. I got the message that the files were no longer available and should I remove them from the library. I removed them, closed and restarted XBMC and confirmed that they were now gone. With XBMC still running I changed the filenames of eps 7 & 8 back to normal and told XBMC to update the library. I think I've garunteed that the relevent episodes definately will appear in the log. XBMC looked them up ok but returned them as S7 - the return of life on mars and s8 behind the scenes of episode 2x03. This is the relevant debbugging log section - far as I can tell:

Pastebin man, Pastebin!

**Hitcher** · 2010-09-11, 20:43

I've just made dummy files (life.on.mars.s01e01.mkv - life.on.mars.s01e06.mkv) and it scraped just fine. We'll need a full debug log and please use pastebin.

DannyT · 2010-09-12, 13:07

Sorry but how do I/what is pastebin?

Sorry for the long delay in replying, but i did finally sort the problem. My main 'Movies' folder had been set to 'DVD order' and the 'Life on Mars' folder within was set to 'Air order'. It seems that the 'Movies' folder settings was overruling the individual folders held within it. I changed both to the same seting and hey presto perfect episode listing.

Stil no idea why it was replacing episode listing with the specials but hey it's working now so I'm not going to question too much. Smile

I am very new to XBMC and I am having the same exact problem with the same exact series, i.e. Life on Mars (UK). It may be a problem with my understanding of naming the files. I ripped all episodes into individual MKV files.

My question is, given the information below, how should I name the files for the specials as well as the seasons? Is there some setting I have to change in XBMC?

I have the following directory structure:

"/media/Media 1/tv/Life on Mars/" and in this directory I have all the 2 series episodes and specials:

life.on.mars.s00e01.An Interview With Production Designer Brian Sykes.mkv
life.on.mars.s00e02.Behind The Scenes of Series 2 Episode 3.m4v
life.on.mars.s00e03.Behind The Scenes of Series 2 Episode 5.mkv
life.on.mars.s00e04.Behind The Scenes of Series 2 Episode 7.mkv
life.on.mars.s00e05.Behind The Scenes of The CID Set.mkv
life.on.mars.s00e06.Behind The Scenes of Tufty's Cameo.mkv
life.on.mars.s00e07.Interview with director.mkv
life.on.mars.s00e08.Outtakes Reel.mkv
life.on.mars.s00e09.The End of Life On Mars.mkv
life.on.mars.s00e10.The Making of Life On Mars Part 1.mkv
life.on.mars.s00e11.The Making of Life On Mars Part 2.mkv
life.on.mars.s00e12.The Music of Life On Mars.mkv
life.on.mars.s00e13.The Return of Life On Mars.mkv
life.on.mars.s01e01.mkv
life.on.mars.s01e02.mkv
life.on.mars.s01e03.mkv
life.on.mars.s01e04.mkv
life.on.mars.s01e05.mkv
life.on.mars.s01e06.mkv
life.on.mars.s01e07.mkv
life.on.mars.s01e08.mkv
life.on.mars.s02e01.mkv
life.on.mars.s02e02.mkv
life.on.mars.s02e03.mkv
life.on.mars.s02e04.mkv
life.on.mars.s02e05.mkv
life.on.mars.s02e06.mkv
life.on.mars.s02e07.mkv
life.on.mars.s02e08.mkv

XBMC displays the episodes as

1x01. The Making of Life On Mars part 1
1x02. The Making of Life On Mars part 2
etc. Basically all the season 1 episodes became the specials.

When I look at thetvdb "Aired Order" for the specials shows:

Code:
