Import Misses Most (1 Viewer)

[qwaven]

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is something anyone can really help with, however whenever I try and import my TV episodes the importer goes as normal. I get prompted for a few episodes like "s01" or something. (sub note: is it possible to browse the directory of the file during the search?) ; anyway I get a few like that but no where even remotely close as stated below, and than TV series completes.

Then if I go and check the "manual import" section I will see pretty much all of my episodes still there. TV Series seems to grab between 1 and 5 episodes per season and skips the rest even though they are all named in the same sort of format (per season anyhow)

I should also mention I have not tampered with any of the pre-defined filters.

Any help on getting this to work properly would be great!
Thanks

Perhaps it would help if you gave away the whole filename(s). Logs might be helpful as well (as always)

Hi thanks for replying.

I have since learned that I must have the series title in the episode filename in order for it to be detected. I had a lot of series/seasons that only listed as s0XeX and no additional info. I had figured the plugin would also read the folder names.

I have renamed accordingly and have much better success.

I still have 2 problems however.

1. How or Is it possible to add custom shows? I have a lot of TV specials that are not part of any particular "series" and probably don't even have a proper name.

2. I notice for some of the series that DID get added that the download of images fails. This does not occur for all series and only for a few. Is there a way to resolve this or is this an issue with the TV database server?

Error appears something like:
... New Episode Image Found for "...name_of_series" ...etc
... Episode Thumbnail download failed (http://thetvdb.com....etc)

That will go on for every image in the series.

Any help would be great!
Thanks!

If you have files only named s01e01.avi and similar, you should get them mapped if you place them in a folder w/the name of the series, and add somthin like:
<series>\s<season>e<episode>.<ext>
No clue about 1 or 2 :sorry:
