Import cant find serie "24" (1 Viewer)

[FloBo]

Hi,
i have problems to import serie 24 from Online TV Database - An open directory of television shows for HTPC software. I tried "24 - S01E01 - 0.00 - 01.00" "24 Twenty four - S01E01" and some other filenames but the prog cant find any serie 24 (english and german). I successfully imported Prison Break with identical names.

Thx for any help

Florian

24 - S01E01 works, make sure you do not have under the online data tab "automatically chose series when exact match is found" enabled, this for me blocks finds.

Hi thx for your help but even if i disable this option the import wont work. Now ich find something in the logfile:

00000009 - 21.02.2009 13:06:22 - *************** Identifying Unknown Series Online ***************
00000009 - 21.02.2009 13:06:22 - Found 1 unknown Series, attempting to identify them now
00000009 - 21.02.2009 13:06:24 - Xml parsing of http://thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries.php?seriesname=24&language=all failed (line 122 - Das 'br'-Anfangstag in Zeile '120' stimmt nicht mit dem Endtag von 'Overview' überein. Zeile 122, Position 170.)
00000009 - 21.02.2009 13:06:24 - Found 0 possible matches for "24"
00000009 - 21.02.2009 13:06:26 - User cancelled Series Selection

translation: (line 122 - The 'br'-Starting tag in line 120 didnt agree with the endtag of 'Overview'. Line 122, position 170.)

If I open the URL with ie then i get also an error message, i can manually change the URL tolanguage=en and I get a valid xml file. This line never changes with the GUI language option

Now I found a similiar thread but with older versions https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/my-tvseries-162/mytv-series-24-a-28596/

If there is a problem with the XML, then it should be reported on teh theTVDB.com forums.

I did a test this morning and seems ok though. From the looks of it one of the language descriptions were not generated correctly in the XML. TVseries couldn't parse the document hence your tvseries were not imported.

24 works fine for me...

I have them labeled in two ways and they are both fine:

24 - S07 E01.avi
&
24 - 5x01.avi

I had about 100 seasons of '24' during the last import because the parser messed up & didn't recognise my episode names, so I took the plunge and renamed everything on disk so it had the following (consistant) format:

'24 - 1x01 - Day 1- 8-00 A.M.-9-00 A.M.avi' or similar. This has been picked up since season 7 with my current MP-TVseries database. It's also the format I use for all other series (which work fine).

I removed all the 24 episodes from the database, and ran import again.

I then get the error mentioned above ("line 122 - The 'br'-Starting tag in line 120 didnt agree with the endtag of 'Overview'. Line 122, position 170.")

Now '24' is no longer recognised at all by MP-TVSeries.

It seems ok at the moment, the problem might be intermittent. Either way, nothing can be done from the client side. As I said the problem should be raised over at theTVDB.

You're right, it was only a temporary problem at their end.

However, it completely screwed up my TV episodes database - even once the tvdb.com error was resolved MP-TVSeries refused point blank to re-find the episodes that I'd been forced to skip before.

I eventually had to go into the SQL database and manually remove the errant rows.

Now it all works

(I'm sure there's probably a far easier way to accomplish what I did, but brute force is sometimes the best & quickest option! )
