MP-TV series cannot import The Office (us) correctly (1 Viewer)

[the_r_sole]

this has been doing my head in since getting the tv series plug in - it's a very good plug in, however, i cannot import all the series of the office, i have up to series 4 fine but the database will not accept anything after than, they are all named correctly but using the import wizard, i can choose "the Office (us)" as the the correct show, then on the next step they always change show to the office (uk) i don't understand what can be making it change when i have manually selected the correct show

Please provide reproducable steps, such as a folder+filename structure of 0-byte files in a ZIP file that fails to import. And if that is not enough to reproduce it on another HTPC, then you will need to provide debug enabled log files, so that a closer look can be given to why it fails on your system.

In short, having to do manual correction on a show name already indicates something is wrong to begin with, so it is best to correct the steps before import. You can do this by renaming your filenames and/or folders correct, or use the string replacement system to correct this afterwards (before import).

In your case you need to use "The Office (US)" as series name, either in folder or filename (or both), depending on what parsing expression ends up getting used. Since you did not provide any full folder+filename example, I can only guess. Either way you need to make the adjustment to replace "whatever your show is named now" into "The Office (US)" and enable the checkbox to do this before import.

Example:

"D:\The Office\Season 1\The Office S01E02 - Diversity Day.mkv"

The above would rely on the default filename parsing expression to obtain series-name+season+episode info. So then you add a string replacement of "The Office" -> "The Office (US)" and problem solved. If you however also have the (UK) version, which might interfere, you could solve this by adding an extra character such as the Season indicator, as per: "The Office S" -> "The Office (US) S" (assuming all episodes are named the same in this way).

You can also spend a few minutes and just rename all your filenames to be correct and never have to worry about it either.
