MP-TVSeries v2.3.3589 Stable Release [29-Oct-09] (1 Viewer)

Something most likely happen to you tvseries.skinsettings.xml, doesnt look like the not all formatting rules got imported into the database.

Try a complete uninstall from Add\Remove programs and Re-install.

Sorted.

Guess I should have tried doing that before asking.

has anyone had trouble updating series information in the last few days?

the importer under the plugin config does not seem to be connecting to thetvdb.com

Yep.

Can't add things the past couple of days. My renamer seems to also be having trouble connecting to thetvdb.com

Have to wait and see how it goes I guess.

TheTvDb.com was down (server relocation) for several days... Now they're up...

Still down.

Still down.

Yesterday night at home, I was able to surf www.thetvdb.com, but this morning (now) at work I can't. Probably DNS caching problems (due to server relocation & change of IPs)... All should work out in a day or two...

Yesterday night at home, I was able to surf Online TV Database - An open directory of television shows for HTPC software, but this morning (now) at work I can't. Probably DNS caching problems (due to server relocation & change of IPs)... All should work out in a day or two...

Working for me there now. Figured it was something like this, though at one point was able to browse the site but not get updates via TV series or the Renamer.

All good.

first i would like to thank you for this amazin plugin. But also i would like to ask you if it would be possible to move the tv-series startup things into a backgroundtask like MovingPictures does. This would result in a really faster startup.

Kudos to the Developer(s)

While I have not yet put TV Series to work (can't get WebEPG working), I want to say your efforts to make this plugin very intuitive are greatly appreciated. All developers should use your approach as a template.

Things that make it intuitive:

* It is integrated into MP Extension Installer
* The first post is kept updated with the latest release information
* In additon to a Installation Guide, you have included a Getting Started Guide to get first time users over the hump
* All supporting documents are referenced with links in the first post

Two questions:

Am I missing something? The first post did not include a summary of what the program actually does. While I found a decent writeup in:
Organize Your TV Shows using Mediaportal - DVR, HTPC Build A DVR it seems like you should have a summary in your first post, or the previously noted webpage referenced.

Does TV Series have a way to schedule recordings?

I am assuming not, so I have to ask (OK - 3 questions)... Are there any plans to add a recording scehduler? It would ideally have simlar functionality as MCE (First run vs First and Rerun, any channel vs specific channel, any time vs specific time, etc). Additionally it would give TVSeries control over the naming convention.

With this functionality I could probably do away with worrying about getting WebEPG working (apparently a major challenge). Then WebEPG would only be needed to watch TV in real time, which I would rather not do anyways because I can comm skip when time shifted viewing.

I am sure this would be a large undertaking but it would really be awesome. Thoughts?
