    How to test the plugin

    But where do I place the files?

    Have have created a zip file just for you. Click on the link in the previous post and download the *bin.zip file. There is a readme.txt file showing where to put the files.

    - Copy MyTVSeries.dll to %ProgramFiles%\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\plugins\windows
    - Copy MyTVSeries.xml to %ProgramFiles%\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\%Selected Skin Folder%
    - Launch the "Setup MediaPortal Application" and import somes AVI Videos.

    PS: This plugin is still in the alpha stage and is barely usable.

    If this is barely usable I can't wait for it to be finished.
    I have imported the few series using the newest version and played them.
    Keep up the great work. :D

    I'm glad it worked for you. Tell me... was there any issues detecting the show information by the filename? Although, the code is really stable, I'm worried that the regular expressions won't pick up all naming conventions. Was there any filenames that weren't read properly?

    Wel, it wil be great when it is finished.

    Right now it got all the episodes of slegde hammer. The regular tv plugin could not do that becouse the filname had to much (xvid-lol) and so on.

    But it did not download any information like rview rating and so on, and I only got to a sledge hammer folder in my tv series. there was nothing in there. And the gui was not correct.

    It picked up the show names without any problem.
    My file structure is a bit strange i have:
    show name (folder)
    season (folder) which then contains the episodes.
    So I manually attached the files to episodes using the config manager.(this is a lot quicker than renaming all the files)

    Hope that makes sense.

    I need to finish the episode parsing. Raiting Description etc. What exaxctly do you mean by "I only got to a sledge hammer folder in my tv series"? and "And the gui was not correct"?

    I understand aasmund Nordal's problem. It "finds" the shows and information from the web, but doesn't attach the local file location. I have the same problem with my Mythbusters folder. I needed to click each show in the configuration and point it to the local file. Could be my nameing convetion though. That's what I get for torrenting a complete season. Other than this small problem it worked great!

    OBTW here is a sample of the name scheme:

    MythBusters [1x01] Ice Bullet. Exploding Toilet. Who Gets Wetter.avi
    (series) [(season#xepisode#)] (episode name)

    That's exactly the problem. I need to add better regular expression for the filename pasing. I will add this one now
