TV Series does not auto scan changes (1 Viewer)

[flixxx]

Hello, I have recently been having problems with MP Tv series. It does not automatically scan the hard drive for changes and add the new tv series.

I have to now go to Actions --> Force local scan to get the new episodes added in the database.

Previously this would scan it automatically.

"Watch my import folders for changes automatically" is checked.

My import folders are enabled.

I have completely reinstalled Mediaportal and MPTVseries and I did a fresh database install (I did this for other problems I was facing as well with another plugin).

My setup:

Mediaportal 1.1.0 Beta (V 1.0.4.23491)
MPTv series: V2.3.3589

I used to run 1.0.1 and faced the same problem. This just started happenning all of a sudden. A Force local scan gets the missing info so I know it's parsing properly.

Let me know what logs would help you to solve this trouble.

PS: The parsing failed logs are for extra I don't care for to be matched. I doubt the logs would help you at all as all the show have been imported yesterday and they only show the logs for today

File monitoring has been improved in v2.5.0 esp. for Network Shares, so this should be fixed and ready for testing as soon as its released.

Thanks, I'll wait for the release.

But as I mentioned I have been suing MP TV series for over a year and not once did I have a problem.

When I notice the episodes are missing, I go into the configuraiton and I see the files just sitting there. I have to click start import for it to get the info.

So it's not that it doesn't see the file, it seems to me like it doesn't realize that I want it to automatically go get the info online.

For me that was the first symptom that my database got corrupted, after more and more symptoms surfaced, I finally caved and emptied database. That wasn't enough symptoms immediatly returned, so I had to resort to actually deleting the database file (kept a backup just incase). And since then been trouble free.

Since I've fixed my setup in such a way via String Replacements that I can do a full re-build without any manual interaction, it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. But if you have made a lot of manual adjustments to select the right series, manually import unrecognized files, then it might look like a lot of work.

However, if you take a look at the MP-TVSeries FAQ, you will see that it is not that hard to setup an environment that will be able to do a fresh rebuild without any interaction. Just takes a little bit of time to setup all the String Replacements and possibly Parsing Expressions, but since you are able to export those for a future fresh rebuild, it pays for itself.

Or wait for the next build
