MyTVSeries - Plugin that organizes TV Video Files (1 Viewer)

[Salty.dh]

there was a release that weetoddid made (i think it was the first 0.2 version) which had those image-banner controls in it, but there was a major bug in that version and no-one could load it i'm not sure how complete the code for the controls was, but you could try contacting weetodd and he'd probably be able to give you a starting point!

can i re-request a feature? would it be possible to grab the code from the my videos module which allows you to resume for the last position of a video you where up to? might be an easy copy-and-paste feature to add...

Lol copy and paste? what's that

Yeah it's on my feature list now.

Re: Suggestions....

Currently single file/multiple episodes are not supported. This update is really just to reintroduce a working version of this plugin with (eventually) a lot more flexibility for the series data source.

I have this particular feature on my list of considerations.

Currently DVDs I think are outside the scope of this plugin. That may change. What you're describing is a disc catalogging plugin. This plugin is really aimed at a Divx/Xvid style approach.

For now, I feel we the MP community have a lot more work to do on this plugin before I would be happy with it - Happy enough to consider an extension like this.

Hope that clears up the direction of the plugin for these topics.

Ok sounds good for me.

I can still rip the DVD to XVid - AC3


Thanks !

Your file format is incorrect it doesn't match the Regular Expression you are using. Error handling is very minimal in this release I thought people had waited long enough and as long as files are labelled correctly and series actually exist in episodeworld.com and tv.com it will work.

For now you can either exclude the problem files or label them correctly.

What's actually happening is it cannot find a show titled '24 exposed part2 ac3 ws dvdrip xvid-fov'

as you can see on the line: Seaching TV.com for matches on parsed series name. 24 exposed part2 ac3 ws dvdrip xvid-fov

Fix that up and you *may* find it works. *May* because that's a documentary about 24 i assume. Not an actual episode.

Cheers,

Salty.

thx for the quick reply,

some files ar on network drives and I cannot edit or rename them. The main problem is is that the whole importing stops and thats a bit sad, cos if the first file is broken non of the files get imported..

Thx for the great effort on reviving this plugin its the best plugin of MP

Yep no problems. I'll be fixing that up with another release in a day or two.

A while back I made a wish list

few hints and comments:

* Could you use a directory structure with the .. folder on top, this helps to navagate and I can use the back button on my remote.
* using back button goes back 1 level, now the back button brings one to the home screen
* add the ability, like in my videos, to resume play where I left off
* ability to refresh only the latest season
* ability to auto refesh or monitor the last season, with the modified musicsharewatcher
* ability to auto or never replace a episode
* ability to always use biggers file for database if duplicate episodes are found say 350 and 700 MB files are present
* Use screenshot for episode thumbnail
* ability to add files/extentions to a black list so they will never be parsed again
* option to specify which extentions should to parsed, say only avi
* option to use folder structure to get season an episode name
* add an extra field to a serie to auto add the extras to a serie under the extra label

* add a extra field to a serie to auto add Not Found to a serie under the Not Found label for files not found on tv.com, say and preview an prequels or wrong parsed files. This helps to be able to view all files from the gui eventhough the episodes could not be found on tv.com.

serie\
24\
season1\
season2\
season3\
season4\
season5\
extras\
unknown\ or Not Found or Unlisted

* show hide episodes not in database but listed on tv.com, say future episodes/seasons

* show hide viewed episodes


for the most current problem a blacklist for filename would b a good solution, cos almost all the errors come from special episodes,

so for instance if the file is named incorrect add the option that the file be put on a blacklist and the parser does not parse that file anymore

Thanks , thought it was a program bug
Keep up the good work, and if you need a beta/bugtester just let me know.

/edit:

Renamed the files but it somehow still fails:

System.NullReferenceException: De objectverwijzing is niet op een exemplaar van een object ingesteld.

Processing File: d:\tv series\farscape\farscape 1x09.avi

---

Also when you add a folder later it doesn't sort by name instead it sorts by date added(also in mediaportal itself)
But except for Farscape/the outer limits/10.5 apocalypse/Tales from the crypt/Earth final conflict/The unit(the filenames are correct afaik, can post a complete log if needed) and the sorting it works flawless

Just downloaded the new plugin. Works great, now I can start again on getting my tv series from DVD onto the computer.
Keep up the good work.
