MP-TVSeries v4.3.6 Release [2020-01-24] (4 Viewers)

Doesn't look like issue has been resolved yet so I will make a quick patch to temporarily solve the issue.

This is what I propose:

Add a file in the format <seriesid>.tvdb into the episodes directory e.g.

X:\TV\House of the Dragon\371572.tvdb where "371572" is the series ID as found when you search online (Search - TheTVDB.com in this case)

This obviously means that your episodes should be in unique directories for each series.

I’m not having any success with that.

I’m not having any success with that.

It’s just an idea he’s working on. He has to implement it in a new release. Hopefully @ltfearme can make it work.

Thanks for the update and your hard work.

It's much appreciated

Thanks for the very fast response to this issue. As a bit of a dunce on these things and so I can get prepared for when the update is available, can you confirm my understanding of the process. For the new series that are not working I need to add them, as per your example like this for my set up:

TV Series\Sci-Fi\House of the Dragon\371572.tvdb\Season 1\House.of.the.Dragon.S01E01

With 371572.tvdb being an empty notepad txt file named as per above placed in the series folder in which all the Season folder reside.

Does the txt file belong in "TV Series\Sci-Fi\House of the Dragon" or in "TV Series\Sci-Fi\House of the Dragon\Season 1" and each subsequent season folder?

Thanks again

Hi @mickb. I will make it for both cases i.e. you can put it in the same folder as the season or the series. Series will most likely be your logical choice.

Series/
├── 12345.tvdb
├── Season 01/
│ ├── episode1.mkv
│ └── episode2.mkv

or

Series/
├── Season 01/
│ ├──12345.tvdb
│ ├── episode1.mkv
│ └── episode2.mkv

MP-TVSeries is a popular TV Series plug-in for MediaPortal, an open-source media center application. It focuses on managing the user's TV Series library with minimal user interaction, allowing ...

Changes:
The Series lookup API is currently no longer returning results. This may change in the future, but as a workaround, users can place a <series_id>.tvdb file in the series directory, e.g. C:\TV\House of the Dragon\371572.tvdb. If a .tvdb file is found, the series ID is taken from the filename and used to retrieve the series information.

HI, @Itfearme, thanks for the super fast update to the Plugin. I installed the updates to both TV Series & Trakt. Prior I had 3 Series that were coming up No Found. They were in the list of shows in MP but with out any series details or episode details. They were: Anna Pigeon, My Brilliant Career & Nobody Wants This. I Have attached screen shots of how I have set up the series on my NAS. I currently have 1 Episode of Anna Pigeon, 6 of My Brilliant Career and 10 of Nobody Wants This.

After running the import Anna Pigeon was recognised correctly, however, it listed every episode regardless of whether I had it in my collection and has added multiple entries per episode (see attached). Episode 1 is marked correctly as watched on all 3 entries. It also brought across the episode synopsis as per TheTVdB. Unfortunately the other 2 series have disappeared altogether from the TV Series listing.

This is in no way a criticism as the speed this has been done it is a credit to you and your skills. I just thought I would give you the teething issues I had. If there is any other info you would like from me don't hesitate to ask.

Cheers

Mick

Thanks @mickb, I have done limited testing so far, so I appreciate the feedback.

Could you try delete from database (not disk) those series in question (you can do it from GUI or Configuration), then run a full import again? I will do some more testing tomorrow.

It is possible that what you're seeing is some artefact of imports failing previously, although I can't say for sure.
