[QUOTE="Kilack, post: 502353, member: 96955"] I have quite a lot of tv series/episodes that I have stored up over a fair amount of time. I have been using xbmc and have moved to mediaportal recently mainly because of the tv functions. I am still using xbmc because I have things set up just as i want them but it would be nice to have everything running under one program. I was directed to this plugin but am having real problems getting it to read in my episodes that xbmc was reading. This plugin seems to be extremely fussy on the format of the filename and folders. Basically I have my episodes stored like this tv folder\[series name\anything_sxxexx-blah.avi Now that is the important part, my files can have very gibberish names but the sxxexx is always correct. Is there anyway I can get this plugin to just use the series name from the folder and use the sxxexx for a tvdb.com lookup? Lots of filenames from different groups have different information and they use different formats, i don't want to lose the filenames etc because then it makes finding subtitles that match those files harder etc, so renaming isn't the best idea. What would be good is using the sxxexx which is always going to be far more accurate than trying to pass the episode name out of the filename anyway. The other thing that would rock is that I have .nfo files stored for every episode, they match the filename of each episode, inside that .nfo, they are xml format and have _all_ the information about that episode, the name, the plot, the actors etc etc. There are lots of 3rd party programs that write these files out, they are used by boxee, xbmc etc etc. Any chance this plugin could be made to read these xml files? it would make the plugin far more powerful. I can send an example if need be of that format. at least scanning the .nfo for the episode name and series name would be a huge bonus, like moving picture plugin does. takes the guessing game out of it completely, or using sxxexx :) thanks [/QUOTE]
