Is there a particular folder structure required for TV Series Import in MP2?

I use <Series Name>\<Series Name> - <Season>x<Episode Number> - <Episode Name> \VIDEO_TS

all the files in the VIDEO_TS folder are either .ifo or .vob or .bup.

When I run import on MP2Server after creating a Media Source for my NAS I only get 7 of the 51 series I have and only 1 episode from each of those 7 appears in the "Series" area of MP2. No thumbnail for this episode is available either although I do have series thumbnail and fanart appearing for the 7.

I can see all episodes if I use the Browse Media button.

Thanks in advance for your help
Regards
Ian

    Hi.
    Do you really have a DVD for every single episode?
    If yes, have you thought about making MKV from them? With MKV you have the option to tag the videos. MP2 can read mkv tags so every episode is matched 100%.

    This part of MP2 is under heavy rework atm. So all I can say here is temporary only... Right now MP2 best fits to the following name scheme: series\series name\s01e01 - episodes title.ext where series is the main directory of your series media source.
    As I never use DVD folder/image structure I can't tell you exactly how to name them... As with all HTPC software it's much better not to use DVD/BD structure. One file for one episode is the best to go. No matter if you use MP1, XBMC, WMC or MP2...

    MP2 is still not even Beta, so there are some parts not as polished as wanted. This definitely is such a part.

    Can you provide sample paths for the missing series (via PM if you prefer)? I will check if I can safely extend the matching patterns.
