Problem parsing series in MP-TV Series plugin (1 Viewer)

[NookZ]

Hi,

I'm fairly new to the MediaPortal experience, but I've just upgraded my HTPC to 1.0.1 with StreamedMP and feel confident I understand how it all fits together.

I've got a specific issue with one TV series not being recognised by MP-TV series plugin even though it has an entry in thetvdb.com.

The series name is First Australians (series ID 83409). When performing an import I get the "series not recongnised" message and so have to enter a manual search. I've tried every conceiviable combination of First and Australians but still not joy.

Is there any way I can get this series recognised in MP-TV?

Also, would it be possible to have an option within the importer that allows you to enter the tvdb.com series ID?

Cheers,


NookZ

Hi, thanks. I did run a search through the forums but couldn't find any posts that matched. I'm probably not searching correctly though.

Can this post be moved to the MP-TV section?

Have you tried naming the file something like ( Episode Name ) - (episode season #) - ( episode title ) . ( file extension )
Example ( First Australians - 101 - They have come to stay.avi ) using spaces between your dashes, and then try re-parsing?

Hi, thanks Frankenberry.

Have to admit I haven't tried to change the file name as it did seem to parse correctly using the rule <series>\Season <season>\<episode> - <title>.<ext>

This is how I name all my TV series.

I'll give it a go though and let you know.

You need the episode and season number in the filename. i.e "First Australians 1x01 - They have come to stay.avi" will parse with "<series> <season>x<episode> - <name>.<ext>"

Hi,

I've tried renaming the files and although they parse successfully (they did with the previous names too) the search is still not finding the right series in tvdb.com.

Anything else I can try?

Had you tried manually importing the file and then selecting the series from the results list? I had to do this with Brothers & Sisters first time, picked up some 80's show by the same name instead!
