I'm using the latest media portal version with the MPI installed tvseries, I have ticked the box to auto update, but new shows are not showing up without restarting media portal.

I could be wrong but it may only check for new shows every so many hours.

HTH,

How many hours? is there a way I can decrease that time?

The tv shows are stored on a network share on a vista machine, i'm accessing it via wifi if that makes any difference.

I've turned on the "download information for whole series". Will see if that makes any difference.

    Once MP (and with it the plugin) is running, it is listening for new/deleted files constantly (via filesystem events), there should be almost zero delay (a couple of seconds due to it trying to "buffereing" multiple new files, but other than that...) when picking up new shows. Of course then it has to download meta-data for them, which could take another few seconds. This of course only works for files named in a parsable format.

    You do mean, new files in your shares, right?

    Please post logs of MP running, and you copying a new file (that is parsable) into one of your shares.

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    fixed the episode naming above ^. There was no error in the naming of the file itself. Every time I enter TV Series, it tries to re-scan the episodes. The series appears for just a few seconds and disappears again.

    MP1 supports TVE 3 MP2 supports TVE 3, TVE 3.5 (unstable), TV Mosaic - I think so.
