Manually imported episodes dont download information (1 Viewer)

[z3us]

As the title says, when I manually assign a video file to a episode, no information is downloaded (summary, thumb, etc). I tried with several shows and always happen.
Thanks

I can verify this issue. Manual import = no info.

I have the same problem with MP 1.0.2 and TV Series 2.3 and 2.5. Nothing will make them import manually. I end up with a "blank" episode being inserted and any attempts to update the information give the following in the log file:
"This file does not exist. skipping c:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal"

I don't have my files stored there, all of my media is on another drive.

I've always had this... Just run an import and it'll be added.

What do you mean by import? Run another auto import after manually adding the episode? I have not had to do this in the past with different installations (same version of MP and TVSeries). The only change on this system is I went from Windows7 RC to Windows7 Final.

I have this same issue but its intermittent. Running an import results in the file not being found, even though I confirmed it was in the imdb database (I put it there), and its title is identified when I try to manually import the file, but the import itself never takes place. Seems it just doesn't work properly, and I don't know any workaround.

UPDATE: Uh, my issue was my fault. I didn't have an Absolute number assigned on the data entry in thetvdb.com. Once I corrected that issue the file updated. Doh.

I've had this same problem. I just grab the info off IMDB and paste it in myself for the epsiode. It's a real pain, but some episodes just don't have all of the detail.

I've also noticed that the year always stays at 1900. This never changes unless i overwrite it.
