Start by deleting anything invalid online from trakt.tv website. Then switch to Debug logging in MediaPortal and run it (wait for trakt to do a sync), then attach ALL logs.
We can go from there.
Right now I don't have the capacity to review the code changes done by @Hound_dog but do appreciate any effort he does to provide the community options.
I don't work on TVSeries much these days unless something critical requires addressing like the series lookup recently, this has now been...
Looking at some of the errors in that log it looks like I need to ensure there is some rate limiting applied e.g.
2026-09-25 07:36:59.034 [ERR ] [Sync][38]: Protocol Error, Code = '429', Description = 'Too Many Requests', Url = 'https://api.trakt.tv/sync/collection', Headers = 'Connection...
Yes, full debug logs would be helpful. Before doing that, ensure you have the latest version installed from the MPEI installer. If possible add a new episode so can see something fresh import.
For some reason it thinks your series name (or directory depending on if you import in config or mediaportal):
www.UIndex.org - Star.City.S01E07.MULTI.1080p.WEB.H264-HiggsBoson
I presume it should think it is "STAR CITY".
If you solve that problem, then it should fix itself.
I also see this @Godspeed. At least on my main Win10 HTPC (not my dev Win11 box for whatever reason).
I also had issues with Windows Media Player after copying the exe to the requested directory (something about deprecated so and so, I didn't screenshot it...)
For people not using the .tvdb file for online series matching, and for those who put their series in unique directories, this option is useful (see attached image).
The reason to use this option would be if your series directory has different filenames for each episode e.g. Law & Order vs Law...
I have published an official release, so you can try that instead. Just keep in mind it is more of a testing release to see how the TVDb v4 API handles search (an alternative to .tvdb file matching)
Sorry @Hakuna76, not sure why it didn't work by simply dropping in. Might be my build environment; could be an x64/x86 thing...
Guess I will just have to create an official package.
I haven't made a release yet, but I made some changes today so you no longer need to add the TVDB file to your series directory. That is still the preferred way to get an exact match, though.
The v1 API still doesn't work for search, but I've added a v4 API search method to replace it. I...
Thanks @mickb, I still can't spot why "Kill Jackie" is being parsed as "Harlan Coben's Final Twist", nothing obvious is jumping out.
Do you have a C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\MP-TVSeries\Cache\460247 directory (maybe the series name is incorrect in the cached en.xml file) ? If...
Thanks @mickb,
I am unsure still why this is occurring but can I have some more info please:
From the command line / terminal, can you give me a file listing of your Z:\Video\TV Series\Drama directory e.g.
x:
cd Z:\Video\TV Series\Drama
dir /s /b > output.txt
Also please attach a screenshot...
@mickb can you repeat your test i.e. delete kill jackie from the database, and with debug logging enabled run the import, if reproduced attached the logs immediately following shutdown of MediaPortal.
Also confirm your running the very latest plugin...
A new release has been published with fixes for a crash in the configuration tool and also resolves multiple series import via MediaPortal GUI.
Thanks ponchick for submitting a fix.
