Which version are you using as well?

I'm on the latest SVN (as i believe you are as well?)

also do you still have those exception rules for the 720/1080 HD added?

For that scrubs ep i had it displaying ep 21 and ep 21 as separate items but both playing the same ep file from the start - is this what you had as well?

(I am using default stardard reg ex import)

Note: i have no issues with it being like this.

Are you saying your get E 21 twice or was that a typo and you get E 21 and E 22 (as it should be?).

I really should be testing this, and I will, just a bit busy ATM

Whoops, thats a bad typo. Sorry mate meant to be 21 and 22 are separate items linking back to the one file. (as it should be)

I'm not sure if my post was so easy to understand. What I meant is that I have a file (Scrubs.S06E21-22.avi) that ofcourse contains both episodes. When this is imported into MP-TVSeries it is added as 6x21 with the Episode2 parameters as 6x22. What I don't understand is what the use for the Episode2 parameter is if a episode 6x22 isn't also added in the TVSeries layout.

(Was just trying to clarify if there was someone who didn't understand.)
A solution for this would be to split the file, but I hate splitting video files, and I'd rather see if there is an easier solution before doing something as drastical as that.

Thanks in advance,

Karamellz,
I seem to remember a comment by Zeflash way back when where he acknowledged this and said, that a workaround for this is to check the box 'retrieve episode information for the whole series' on the Import Settings Tab of the plugin configuration. I never tried it, but I believe that's what he said ....

It worked, kinda. It adds that episode, and links it to the same file as EP21, so far so good. But ofcourse if I enable this, as the label states, it will add ALL others episodes too. In my opinion it's not worth this, cuz it looks extremely ugly (for example simpsons, I only have s18 but it adds 17 season before it). I'd rather wait for another solution or just leave it as it is. Thanks for the help though, greatly appreciated. (I tried doing as you said, then removing all the episodes that I don't have, uncheck the box, and then rescan. But then it just looses the connection to EP22, and it's back to square 1.)

I had the Import whole series ticked as well (thats maybe why mine worked too) and i also have under the Media Portal Display Control "Show only episodes with a matching local file" ticked too. This should remove showing all of the previous simpsons seasons that you dont have on your computer.

Nice work there again Inker (and thanks for the 720p/1080p update).

I'd advise anyone that has 1080p/720p/x264 files with that in the names to add the exception rules that Inker added in last weeks update.

Now I'm wondering, if I have one file which actually contains two episodes, they should get linked together, and this works just fine (Scrubs.S06E21-22.avi). But is it not supposed to also display both episodes in the Scrubs overview? Cause as it is now, it acts like episode 22 doesn't exist, and so I cannot get the episode summary for it.

Thanks in advance,

Puh, that was a bit of a tricky one. I think I got it, pls test (delete your double episodes from the db before and reimport (first make sure they parse correctly). All double episodes that didn't work will need to be reimported (thus deleted, sorry).

Also, I just got a weird error on my local installation again with the stupid 720p in the filename. I cannot stress enough how much you should add the rules stated above to avoid those (I'll make it default for fresh installs in the future).

I don't know if you were referring to me bout the 720p rules, but ofcourse I added those already And as I understand it you have uplodaded a new .dll "fixing" the episode problem. The way the two previous posters described it worked for me (checking the "add all episodes" and "only display episodes with matching files"), but I'll give the new dll a shot too, so you didn't do anything in vain

As always, thanks for the fast update!

Sorry, I was unclear. I meant to say I hope I fixed the double episode thingy, now it should work without checking the option to get all episodes.

The 720p comment was really more of a general comment as I had that problem just last night and has nothing to do with the update. I see how it was confusing with my quoting the entire msg which just so happens to also have a sentence about that problem ;-)

Edit: There is a problem with the latest dll, something got f***ed up

I finally installed the newest SVN, and I have to say, I really don't like the episode image merged with the tv show icons. It just doesn't seem to be within the same scope.

The icons are 'describing' the episode's quality and format. Not content. And it looks kinda crappy in my skin. Is there a way to overide it?


(forum was having issues uploading images, i'll try to add one later for the screen shot)

As for the other stuff, its great to see the screen flashing stopped, and the status icon not going haywire

when i delete something, it asks me to confirm twice. Thats seems redundant. It seems that the user should be responsible for knowing what their setting is in the configuration. Having it NOT delete by default should be enough. Its a bit obnoxious. The scroll is a bit ghetto too when its tring to keep the "would you like to proceed" on the screen while the rest scrolls off. I say just dump the second confirmation completely, 4 presses/clicks is a bit much when i just want to delete something.

When in ALL mode and scrolling through the wide icons, sometimes its snappy, and sometimes its not. Its like its generating something. But i'll go up and down over and over. so anything thats getting cached should have stayed cached. I'm not sure why its sometimes lagging and sometimes snappy.

Going to LATEST is a lot faster now, is that because the range of time is shorter so its less shows?

Thats all i hvae for now. Thanks again for the hard work on the plugin, it gets better and better all the time!!
