Yes, I want to said "Watched". I wait for the new version and I test it after. Actually, I can't test the database because I watch the episode but with the next version if I have the same bug, I would look at the database.

Thanks

can't see episodes without local file

Hi,
great plugin, clearly made MP a winner for me.

I only have one problem, I don't see episodes without a local file even when the "only show episodes with a local file" option is off.

any suggestions?

Heads-up for the new svn-version (commited today):

Support for episode images downloaded from the online database. Please help fill those up! Everybody can do it, just take a representative snapshot of the episode (no spoilers) and upload it.
If found, the episode image will be displayed in-line with all the logos.

New directories, for pretty much everything. Now respects customizable directories of MP. This is important for Vista compatability (cant write to program files).
By default nothing should change, except the banners directory:
its now under thumbs\MPTVSeriesBanners where it should have been from the beginning.
It will try to move your banners there, but you might have to move them yourself.

Also language files now go to language\MP-TVSeries (you have to move those yourself or you'll get english strings).

Sorry if i sound stupid, but what online database is this ? Do you have a link?

EDIT: I think i have found it. http://tvdb.zsori.com/ right ?

Sure, the plugin gets all its data from one source: http://tvdb.zsori.com/

It's a website set up for this very reason and is in use by TV-Series plugins for MP, Meedio and XBMC. All users can work together to update content and add new content (such as episode images, series/season banners) etc.

OK. tanks.

Do anyone have a god example how a episode screenshot should look like? It seems like there are not much done in this area, i have not found any on the databse yet.
Should it just be a simple screen shot...no hocus pocus?

 

[Inker]

Yeah, nothing fancy, just a screenshot. Keep them 4:3 or 16:9 depending on what the series airs in, and just style them like you would see in a tv-guide or something.

I would say if you don't know a series pretty well, don't do one. You want to be representative but not give anything away ;-)

An example of preview images can be found here:

I must say...the episode pics looking goooood.
But i have found some problems with the SVN i where using.
I dont know if it is just me, but now the other tv logos dont show up any more.
And the loading database message in the configuration did not disappear untill i exit the whole MP configuration. Mybee this is known bugs, but i just wanted to share what i have found.

i just installed the new version and deleted the old data base

alot of the banners downlaoded are the blank ones that have just been added to tvdb.szori.com rather than the graphical banners
