[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 613097, member: 18896"] I've got 130+ series, countless episodes, and all recognized without a problem, and I'm not the only one as there are many users without any problems. I could format my HTPC, reinstall MediaPortal and MP-TVSeries, restore the string replacements and custom parsing expressions (you can back those up easy from within configuration), and within 5 minutes of running a new import scan everything would be back (restoring watched status and custom cover/backdrops take a little longer). This was a different story before, but that's when I took the time to make my file naming scheme compatible with what works, and never a problem since then. My problems also kept recurring, but that's when I found out I had a database corruption and the only solution was the physically delete the database (emptying it wasn't enough). It seems you do not want to take the time to do the same, or provide log files to show anybody a proper insight into why you are having problems. For example your series/episodes dissapearing, there is a single checkbox solution for that. And nothing is perfect, so there are definatly bugs that still remain, but rants without proper feedback isn't going to get that resolved. As to answer the thread topic, TheTVdB website is targetted towards single TV episodes, as they are recorded from TV. A DVD ISO containing multiple episodes is an exception to how the system works. It requires a lot of extra code to account for this, whereas as a workaround there is countless amount of software available that will split your single ISO into individual files, retaining video, audio quality as well as subtitles. And playback of media isn't handled by MP-TVSeries, but by MediaPortal, which has no problem with that (assuming you configured it properly, as codec hell to some extend is still possible). [/QUOTE]
