[QUOTE="Ryoken, post: 1078463, member: 29030"] I have to ask, why does the filename matter at all, when during the import process I am Manually entering in the Show Name, Season, and Episode #'s.. I've said a few times that I am Manually adding this show (as I do with many others), I don't need it to automatically pick it up, so long as the manual process works. I mean I've added a lot of shows without issue manually before, virtually all my docu's/mini-series.. then during the Import Wizard process in the MP-TVSeries Config I enter all the data.. Shows like Planet Earth and Band of Brothers for example, or Anime like Bakemonogatari (and the several other shows/seasons that TheTVDB groups with it). I don't like renaming my shows, incase I ever need to share them again. Or otherwise need/want them the way they were released. As such I just manually enter the data during the import process. During Step 2 of 4, after having manually entered the Data, and am just selecting the TV Series, it shouldn't matter what the filenames were, cause all the information has been replaced. But I feel we are getting distracted from the issue I'm asking about. Why is it when I try to use the Config tool to search for Star Wars Clone Wars, will it NOT return that series ? [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/VO44ZXE.png[/IMG] ^ Manual Entry of Series Name, Season, and Episode Number. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/F7nlPqo.png[/IMG] ^ No auto selected result by default, only that single entry in the dropdown. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/SOm5z1V.png[/IMG] ^ Custom Search Name. Only one result, which is Incorrect. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/QAuWaSE.png[/IMG] ^ Custom Search Name. Only one result, which is Incorrect. As I've said, I haven't had issues with my other shows. I mean I have dozen's of Anime's where I keep them saved under their correct names, and then add them manually under the names/seasons TheTVDB uses. Most of them have only episode number, not seasons, it's just been a matter of manual entries. The issue I have here is the Search/Custom Search Name, [B]refuses[/B] to return a result that it should. In s step 2 of 4, nothing should matter except the Custom Search Name that I am entering. Yet it will not give me a result we both know exists, and shows up if you manually search TheTVDB API. It would be really handy if I could just drop in TheTVDB number and associate it that way.. much the same way in Moving Pictures I can just simply give it the IMDb ID and add a movie that way, [/QUOTE]
