Issues with MY TVSeries Plugin (on my HTPC) (2 Viewers)

[1gkar]

I seem to be having issues other than some of my series not being parsed correctly due to {my} poor media file naming. But that's another issue.

What is happening is I can't get certain series displayed in the details tab of the plugin's configuration, meaning they won't show inside Mediaportal.

Firstly, the versions:

Mediaportal & TV Server RC2 w 20010SVN
MP TVSeries plugin 2.0.3112
Skin: Monochrome 2.2

I have loaded the root directories for MP TV series into the plugin config. (ie. J:\X Files) the files seem to parse okay, according to the log -attached. As this series is set to season folders, I have used the simple expression: <series>\<season>.<episode>-<title>.<ext>

After selecting 'start import', there is no info set in the details tab. I have tried rebooting with no success.

I have two other series, Babylon 5 & The Outer Limits set identical & they load perfectly inside Mediaportal with banners, season & episode pictures. Similar occurred with these series, but appeared without me doing anything (I think). The other two series, Firefly & Battlestar Galactica 1980 have the media files directly inside the main series folder.

The entire series of Stargate SG1 is not parsed due to poor naming. But how to remove the root folder in the 'import paths' of MP TVSeries config as there is NO right-click context menu?

Finally, I have screenshots with the MP TVSeries plugin set to the home screen of MP. How is this done? I have tried simply moving the MP-TVSeries.dll to my root Mediaportal folder with no success. This would be ideal; save having to go inside the plugins area. for any assistance.

I was planning to show the log as well as screenshots of my working MP-TVSeries plugin but can't get manage attachments to work, so here it is.

Have tried the following, with deleting TVSeries database between each reinstall:

i) -reinstalled existing MP-TVSeries plugin
ii) -reinstalled using latest stable version
iii) -reinstalled MP-TVSeries plugin using revision 339 (Modified Fri Aug 22 04:33:00 2008) MP-TVSeries.dll

After 2nd (ii)) attempt, the seasons parsed without a series header; ie. in the config detail tab, instead of Babylon5, then the seasons listed 1-5 separately, they just listed the seasons Also, Battlestar Galactica 1980: same.

No Star trek, even Outer Limits would not show. I even tried changing the root location for my Star Trek series. Instead of H:\Star Trek\TOS, I used, H:\Star Trek-TOS.

If I can't get this sorted, then I will be forced to delete the plugin & move on with my life: it's just not that important: would be a nice customisation to my HTPC, though.

What I had to do was put all my TV series into a single root folder -which I titled TV Shows-<drive letter> on each drive where I have TV series stored.

eg. H:\Tv Shows -H-drive\Babylon 5\Season 1\ 1.02-Soul Hunter.mkv

I even worked the simple expression for my Stargate SG1 files, titled, ...\season1\A03-Enemy Within.mkv
<series>\Season <season>\A.<episode>-<title>.<ext>

Will add to my thread in the requests thread.

Now: After selecting the DVD Series, when given DVD or aired options, my log tells me, "Found 221 episodes online for "Stargate SG1." Matching them up with local episodes now. None of these episodes could could be identified. (Possible reasons: Wrong filename/online database does not have these episodes).

Yet, all the episodes were identified at the Mediainfo reading stage of parsing. As a result I have no episode images or episode plot overview.

How to rectify this issue? Or can I download the entire episode image package for a series somewhere, as a zip file, maybe? Will look at the 'thetvdb' site.
