Several times, me being one of them. I was going to wait until this was removed, but ended up doing it the hard way, turning off the mismatch tolerance (one of the many unfathomable settings with no explanation) and using the 'Ask' scrape, then manually finding the right IMDB entry with a browser and entering its TT.

Funny thing is, most of my movies are actual documentaries, yet the 'Popular results' inevitably selects a TV show that talks about or reviews the documentary.

i understand your arguments...i actually know that if i can scrape with XBMC (it scrape whole HDD for tv-series and every video episode in its folder), supposed to ember would do the same thing...obviously it can't.

i can confirm that XBMC could scrape episodes video files in each folder, then there are "only" 3 files for (i know) (the video file, the episode thumb and the nfo).

Weird... that is a "bug" from Frodo
this should be the only structure approved:
TV show naming conventions

In other words you are lucky but there is no warranty it will continue to work.

Can you help me understand which is the issue with the episodes in 1 folder?
I have several series (toons with a LOT of episodes) without any problem...

If the answer is "No", then that's honestly ok. Its the decision of the person writing the code. I'd just like to know so that I can continue looking for a media manager that does what I need, if necessary.

Arathen,
your position is nice and reasonable; as we are quite overloaded with fixes I think is correct to focus on what is standard in XBMC and YAMJ (and is not trivial to support all of that), this is why I was checking what is the expected structure should be.

If a "non official" structure works we are only happy for that but before spending a lot of time to fix EMM for it we need to check how much is used, how much time it will survive, how many people uses it...

If it is an official and supported structure we will have to add it, if it is not we will try to add it.

So is not a No...

but we have not get any confirmation from XBMC gurus and developers and if it is officially supported.

"Below the show folder, the files may be organized how you wish, e.g. into separate season folders, or by year. These folders will be ignored."

Simplified this means that XBMC will handle each file, no matter where it is below the show folder.

Thank you Humpe. Good point.

So we will have to add that support to EMM

Today login to continue the process and no trailers are showing as available even though I can see them in the directory as well as the set path.... any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
