MyTVSeries - Plugin that organizes TV Video Files (7 Viewers)

[CHli]

I found that :

http://www.tvrage.com/

which can be simply used with that :

Sounds interesting isnt'it ?

Maybe I am doing something wrong.

I have two TV series located in two folders:
c:\series\Alias
c:\series\Smallville

I have corrected the names of the files in each of these folders to match like the example in the Readme.txt file included in the zip file. They are <seriesname> - 1x1 - <episodename>.avi

But when I go into configuration.exe and execute the configuration for the myTVseries. I have the folder path as c:\series. The test button shows everything ok. But when I press start. I get the window that prompts me to enter a Series name. But it has the correct name in the text window and I click ok and then it pops back up with the same window for the same file.

What am I doing wrong? I have this setup on 0.2.0.0 RC3

More info can be provided if it will help.

Now why the heck didn't you find this sooner

Nah it's cool. Let me tidy things up and i'll start on the alternate site support. Then we'll see if this engine is really up to the task...

The reason I went with episodeworld is they include links to the tv.com page for the show. This gives me the tv.com unique id directly and I can then grab the large show banners from images.com.com. I have been unable to find an efficient way to locate this when using a site like tvrage.com. It would mean performing two searches which means possibly being prompted twice per show. Does that make sense?

Suggestions on this would be appreciated.

Does the log screen indicate anything went wrong? What's the exact file name it's getting stuck on?

I'll have to grab RC3 to test this. You may want to try RC4 to see if that fixes it for you. Anyways send me the above info and anything else you can think of and we'll go from there.

*Edit: Do you have the latest version? http://www.samige.com.au/MyTVSeries/MyTVSeries.zip

Salty - I will test tomorrow with the info you requested then I will backup what I have now and install RC4 after that or next day. Yes, I just got your plugin today but its configuration looked the same as the previous version.

Tvrage.com does look very nice, also you can use about the same structure for the all eps parsing:

http://www.tvrage.com/Alias/episode_list/All

Maybe when using tvrage it can use the /Alias/ name from above for the tv.com search and don't prompt?
Not a perfect solution but most good results are the top ones, so it would have to select the first match.
Dunno of another way because like you said it would have to select it twice(and prompt if more then 1 result).

30 pages long & its the first time I have ever viewed this thread!

What a great plugin. Not yet used it, but from my understanding its a TV version of the "IMDB style" lookup on movies? I onlyhave lost series 1 & 2 so far on my HTPC with each episode as an AVI, so I shall have to try this out.


Great work guys!

Salty - It appears that the plugin doesn't want to work correctly with RC3. So I have backed up and will delete and install RC4.

Just to let you know what happened. I changed the folder path to point just to the folder which only had the Alias videos in it. I checked it with the test button and all looked ok. I then checked the error log, it looks like this:

I then clicked the start button, It appeared like it work and said that it sucessfully processed 4 video files. The error log did not have any additional entries. The MyTVSeries.log had the following:

The Configuration tool did not make any other prompts and when I exited (red "X" in upper right corner) the app it then brought up another instance! I exited that one also and then a My TV Series Configuration app appeared but all the areas were blank, I went to the configuration tab and that was also all blank.

So it appears that I need RC4 for this to work correctly.
