Hi! I have a little problem...
With the 0.5 version all ok, yesterday i have installed the new version 0.8, the import process it's ok, but in mediaportal the episode don't start and appear this message:

"Can't start playback, file must still be being written to"

What mean????

I have MePoGreen 16/9 (Svn) whit the latest svn build of Mediaportal...
I repeat: the old version (0.5) it's ok...
Where i find the old version?

Thanks for all! Good holidays

(I'm italian, :sorry: )

The mouse should work just fine. There is nothing in the plugin that would stop this. Does the mouse work for you in other parts of MP? Can anyone confirm the mouse isn't working (works for me)?

I did some more playing with it.

With the Series, Season, or Episode if I go all the way to the right edge of the picture "One line of pixels at the edge of the banner" it will highlight the selection. The up and down arrows I have to be all the way at the bottom "One line of pixels at the bottom edge of the button" and it will highlight it.

Now nothing I did got the OSD to display.

I am starting to think this is something with screen resolution and the TVSeries.XML file.

My resolution is 1024x768.

Hi Slayers83 -

This issue has previously been reported. It will be fixed in the next release.

In the meantime, enable R/W access to the share on \\htpc that you are using, this error should go away.

Just confirm some thing:
0.7 works great even with MP2.2
0.8 have problems scanning read only shares from another computer.

Thanks for the answers mst3kroqs & SpiffBB...
I'm waiting the new version 0.9
Bye!

Hi! Great Plugin ! A couple of questions, sorry if they are basic:
Just installed 0.8. I works well, but:
1. I have a set of series that do not have a "season" and I'm not able to import them. The directory structure is as follows: "TV Shows\Mystery\01 - 1st Mystery.avi"
and the string parser is "<series>\<episode> - <title>.<ext>"
I also have this parser: <series>\Season <season>\<episode> - <title>.<ext>
and if I add a "Season" directory it works. Any idea why ?

2. Is there a way to add your own banner to the database ? I have old anime cartoon series that are not on the banner website.

Any help will be appreciated! keep up the good work!

sav :
As for number 2 : Register at http://tvdb.zsori.com/ and upload any image as a banner you like.....

Happy Holidays to everybody!!!!

This is the season - a new stable version of MP, 0.8 of MP TV Series and 1.6 of Project Mayhem 3. What else can one wish for?

Well, actually there is one thing missing for me: I don't get the double episode feature to work. How do I have to name my double episodes so that this works?

Thanks

Well I have a strange one.
When I run the import against Stargate Atlantis Season 3 I run into a weird problem.
first this episode "Stargate Atlantis (2004) - 3x13 - Irresponsible.avi" comes up with the correct name but no air date. It won't play but it will play in wmp if I run it directly there.
Second problem "Stargate Atlantis (2004) - 3x14 - Tao of Rodney.avi" goes into the database as the episode "Sunday". Problem is, its not aired yet, not until january.

I am running MP latest build and v8 of the TV series plugin.
Also the program "The Triangle" well it ignores it all together.

Just thought you should be aware.

I think these are issues with TVDB.
http://tvdb.zsori.com/?tab=season&seriesid=70851&seasonid=1194
3x13 and 3x14 are missing air dates and "Tao of Rodney" is listed as episode 15 and "Sunday" is listed as episode 14.
Maybe they have been ordered by production number instead of original air date.

For "The Triangle" try:
The Triangle (2005)

P.S. I think anyone can create a TVDB account and help maintain/fix data

HTH,
patrick
