Re: manual search string

Can this be fixed or is there a workaround?

Rename you files. That's the quickest workaround.

This is a great tool:

Otherwise you could make your own simple expression and use the foldername for the series name. Read older posts.

I thought of that, but I don't like it. My files are all named the same, its just shows that have "the" in them I name that way so they're alphabetical. That's the way I like them to show in the database too. If I could enter a manual search string in the popup window or if the importer ignored these characters, then it would work fine.

I tried adding some items to the search/replace, but it didn't seem to do anything. I had thought that if I added ", The" to be replaced with "", that it would do that on the import, but it doesn't seem to work that way...

I don't think it's possible to list them in any other way than what the plug-in finds @ episodeworld.com

If the show is called "X-files, The" @ episodeworld.com it's possible.

some of mytvseries do not show an image file on the top after a succeful import.

i.e. (SuperNatural, Traveler, The Nine, Jericho which actually is not imported correctly at all)

There are two possible issues for this:

1.) The plugin tries to get this banner picture from tv.com. Some of the shows just don't have one. You might want to check at http://banners.fluxxx.net for available banners (and alternatives to the ones from TV.vom)

2.) Sometime the plugin just doesn't download the banner picture correctly from TV.com. In this case you need to go to the homepage of this show on TV.com and then save the banner in this directory:
C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Thumbs\TVSeries
The filename needs to be in this format: "<Showname> - Banner.jpg"

Hope that helps!

Looks like some of the posts are missing in the forum conversion.

Anyway, I've run into an issue with the importer. For "Chappelle's Show" each episode gets imported into its own series listing (i.e. repeats). If there are 13 episodes, then 13 listings of Chappelle's Show shows up on the left. I think it may have something to do with that any character after an apostrophe gets capitalized for some reason (Chappelle'S Show). There may be a mismatch due to this and it gets reimported.

Cinetix,

I did what you suggested with the "<Series>, The - <Season>x...." simple expression and that worked very well. The only issue I ran into was that at first the standard tag was taking priority over my new tag and there isn't a simple way to reorder expressions without deleting and readding. But I think that should work for me.

Thanks for the tip!

Yes, that has to do with the apostrophe. It was discussed a bit in this thread:

Salty was working on that issue, but hasn't been heard from for a while. So sadly it's still there :-(

in the mediaportal\docs folder, there's a little utility in there that lets you edit the mp databases. use that to open the tvseries database (located in mediaportal\databases), then on the 'browse data' tab, select the 'episode' table. scroll down till you find your offending episodes, then change the 'special' column on those (double click on it) to read 'unknown'. then save the database and you should be right!

Dude - you are the *man*. Thanks for the assist.

In the meantime, I'm presently checking out the .net source for MPMovieInfo to see if it could be easily adapted to the TVSeries db ...
