I'm running PlayOn to connect my XBMC (12.0) to Netflix. All the communication seems to function.
However, when I set the custom_parser="PlayOn", some of the titles are coming across incorrectly. When I set custom-parser="netflix" it can't use the auto_detect for type. If I manually set type to "episode" it (understandably) can't figure out what the heck the movies are. If I set type=movies, each episode gets it's own folder structure.
My last clever thought was setting up two <subfolder> entries, but that got me the worst of both.
This seems to manifest on titles with colons in the name, with some examples below.
Star Trek: The Next Generation (NetflixPlayOn/Instant Queue/Star Trek: The Next Generation/Star Trek: The Next Generation: Season 1/S01E01 - Encounter at Farpoint: Parts 1 & 2)
Ken Burns: The War (NetflixPlayOn/Instant Queue/Ken Burns: The War/S01E01 - A Necessary War)
When using the PlayOn parser, ST:TNG gets put in <dropbox>/Star.Trek/<Season X>, which is functional for some titles but with TNG, XBMC ends up scraping it as Star Trek (original series), with only 3 seasons, which makes the metadata updates fail as season 4+ are 'not in the library'
Any suggestions on this one?
What results do you get when you dont specify a type?
Also, if its not a big deal to you to have your video folders a bit misnamed, you can just navigate to the Star.Trek folder that it puts TNG in from videos>files in xbmc, press 'i' on the folder, select refresh and say yes to refresh info for all episodes. Then just pick TNG from the list of options it gives you and xbmc will remember that folder contains TNG episodes.
