MyTVSeries - Plugin that organizes TV Video Files (2 Viewers)

[zag2me]

I have offered my support to mirror the tvdb for media portal usage, as I work with db hosting servers

Very nice zag2me. Thanks a lot.

Do you think you'll be able to host the database for a while into the future? My only concern would be that privatly hosted servers (read, servers that an individual has to pay for) can dissapear any moment if the burder gets too much or someone looses interest.

Perhaps as a backup the current way of parsing should be kept in case the database cannot be connected to. Would need to be kept updated then though for site changes of course. But at least if a database goes down it won't be another complete redesign of the plugin.

I hope this hasn't been asked before. I had a look around and didnt see it.

How does the scaning for episodes work? Does it just pick up new videos or does it rescan everything. At first I thought it just picked up the new videos, but whenever I do a scan it keeps telling me "There is already a file associated with the entry. Do you want to replace it?"

Whether I say yes or no, when i run the scan again, i get the same question for the same episodes again. So i have to keep selecting yes for all the videos in order to just import one or two new episodes. Why does it keep asking me this for these videos?

No - not the usual behaviour.

AFAIK there are two possible reasons for this :

1. Try using Regex. The simple expressions seem to have a problem once in a while. By default simple expressions are used.

2. If there is an apostrophe in the file name, the plugin doesn´t recognize the file an reimports it. This is a known error, which will hopefully be solved in one of the next versions.

Two more non-working series :
Seinfeld Season 9
MASH Season 11

Funny thing is: all other seasons of both series work.....hmmmm

dunno if this will work but try inputing manually the first episode of those seasons and then try do an import and see if it does import the rest of the episodes.

Hi,

I have a very quick question about this plugin... am I right in thinking that once the video is imported, MyTVSeries renames the file using the information that has been downloaded - or has this not been implemented yet?

The reason I ask is I wanted to use this plugin to rename my files with season and episode numbers, which MediaPortal doesn't want to do for some reason, although it gets the episode title. I am in the UK and am using XMLTV to grab the xml data from the Radio Times site - I don't know whether that has anything to do with it or not....

Any info gratefully received...

Quick answer : No, the files are not renamed (I wouldn´t want that, anyway)

As for your other question - no clue. I always rename my files, using "bulk rename tool", works best for me.

When using MyTVSeries some shows doesn't show any picture.
Is it possible to do this yourself?
