How does the plugin know what episode a specific file is?
I'm using TVE3 with XMLTV,and i can't seem to get the episode number on the files, how is this done? I would really like to use this plugin, hope that i'm in the right place for this Q

Well, not exactly the right place as far as I can tell ;-)

Please try this (hope this applies to TVE3 as well):

configuration.exe -> Television -> Recording -> Custom Paths and Filenames (tab)

then select series in the pulldown menu and fill in the required tags from the list underneath.

MyTVSeries should easily handle something like this:
%title%.-.S%series%E%episode%.-.%name%

(this of course requires, that XMLTV supplies the series and episode number information)

when this works just add your recordings folder in the TVSeries plugin and it should recognise the series and episodes just fine.

Bye,
Anthrax

PS: please let me know, if this doesn't apply to TVE3 - thanx.

It's great

I just love it!
The only thing is the difficult icon rules... I just can not seem to get them to work.
Other than that, I just love it!

I even assigned private movie clips of my work/hobby Showshakers (flairbartending) as a TV series so I can select them as if they were a series!
See Showshakers at the database site to see what I mean, it is great and all my friends love it!

Imo it should be part of the core, would love to see series recorded in the tv service being added automatically.

    It's my favourite plugin, I use it all the time.
    In my opinion, the only downside is the configration tool. I want to be able to manually add episodes when not detected.

    The WAF and PAF (Parents Acceptance Factor *gg*) would be much higher if there are descriptions of the episodes in foreign languages.
    It installed My TVSeries on the MediaPortal of my parents, but they don't speak english, so it's much useless for them. Although they would love to have such a feature.

    What's the "WAF factor"?

    kiesow
    if you want the descriptions in other languages you'll need a database in that language
    personally i haven't found a dutch one yet, i don't know for german ones

    It's the main reason I use MediaPortal. I find the Live TV support for ATSC signals (US over the air HD) a bit lacking and pretty buggy. Movie support stinks. But the MyTVSeries plugin is amazing.

    I use it all the time. In fact, its probably the only thing in Mediaportal that i use every day. Its fantastic for the wife as she just browses through my 8000 odd tv eps on my server, and chooses what she wants to watch. It is the first thing i show people when they see my HTPC as it has that WOW factor. Without a doubt this is the number one reason i use Mediaportal today....

    Greetings to all Denizens of the land of MediaPortal... It seems our Zap2XML/GraceNote access is broken again.

I am hoping the good citizen of past is...

    I have recently installed MediaPortal 1.37 (x64) and MP-TVSeries v4.5.1.697 and unfortunately the TV episode runtime duration is missing in my Titan skin. This only applies to my .TS files, my .MKV files are OK. I believe the difference is likely to be because .MKV files embed the runtime in the file unlike .TS files. I have done...

    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1
