MP-TVSeries v4.3.6 Release [2020-01-24] (18 Viewers)

Do I have to do something than just replacing the two files?

Sorry @Hakuna76, not sure why it didn't work by simply dropping in. Might be my build environment; could be an x64/x86 thing...

Guess I will just have to create an official package.

I have published an official release, so you can try that instead. Just keep in mind it is more of a testing release to see how the TVDb v4 API handles search (an alternative to .tvdb file matching)

 

[ltfearme]

For people not using the .tvdb file for online series matching, and for those who put their series in unique directories, this option is useful (see attached image).

The reason to use this option would be if your series directory has different filenames for each episode e.g. Law & Order vs Law and Order, in this case, it does two searches vs one if the folder name was used. Anyway, just something I wanted to mention as I noticed a few people not using it and it really can help improve search accuracy.

Ahh, nice, now NCIS New york was added automatically.

I still don't get Star City. Any clues?
Using folder name as Show name did not make a difference.

Without .tvdb file:

I've been happily using "Rename My TV Series" (https://www.tweaking4all.com/home-theatre/rename-my-tv-series-v2/) to set a standard format for all my episode names. Just drag the file names into the editor, and it searches the proper name for it. Depending on the naming format for your recorded TV files (TS), you may have to manually rename the files. You can also grab the TVDB number using it. Caution: it doesn't always get the year of the series right (thus mis-naming the episode) if there are same series-names produced in different years.
