Hello all,
I feel like i have done a good amount of research on this plugin and I'm having mild success. I have a few questions though and wasn't able to find very clear answers on this forum, mostly because I'm not sure the search to look for.

First, when adding a show, is there anyway to avoid lots of sub-folders when the show consists of many arbitrarily named folders? For example, in the FreeCable add-on the show directory is: "HGTV/House Hunters International" but inside that are about 6 'sub-folders' that aren't important to me. My current xml file has this line:

Code:

<subfolder name="HGTV" type="episodes" prefix="(F) " recursive="false">
        <subfolder name="House Hunters" recursive="true">
            <filter>
            <!-- runtime GT 15 minutes, 900 seconds -->
            <runtime>GT|900</runtime>
            </filter>
        </subfolder>

But this will create six 'shows' of the sub-folders when I'd really just like one House Hunters show in my TV directory. Should I place something different in my XML file to help with this?


My next question is regarding a few shows that aren't showing up in my library. One good example is Conan on TBS. My current search again for FreeCable add-on is:

Code:

<subfolder name="TBS/Full Episodes/Conan" type="episodes" prefix="(F)" recursive="false"> </subfolder>

This search successfully finds the shows, adds them to my database and dropbox, but I will consistently get this error:

Code:

SKIPPING meta-data update: SKIP: The video is not yet in XBMC's library: C:\Media\Dropbox\TV Shows\Conan\Season.3\S03E90 - Episode 3390.strm

I don't think this is a XBMC error as other shows work, and I've noticed sometimes Conan will show up but it will have no episodes even though there are 6 or 7 strm files in the dropbox directory, and it looks like the script is naming them correctly (S03E90 etc). The Conan fanart is also that of the warrior hero guy show, not the late night talk show guy. Is there something I need to do to force (or help) this script or XBMC add the files correctly? Does XBMC need an .nfo file or something to guide it?

Thanks for your help, sorry for the long drawn out questions!
