Upon the very first Load TV Shows, it found all three shows, except it gave me an error everytime I tried to look at the D&D show. The error stated that it didn't like the '&' character,

I have some tv show folders that will not scrape at all so I have created custom nfo files for them to show up in XBMC. For example, I have random National Geographic and Discovery Channel shows that won't scrape but I wanted them to show up in my TV Shows Library.The best way to add those would be to add them to thetvdb.com, this helps out everyone and is how the database grows.
I initially had shows as single folder selection per show, but changed it after feedback and suggestions. I can prob add a user selectable option that will do this.. I know I would like to not scan some items, which is good for feature requests as it bumps the priority up

Wouldn't it just be easier to create another top level folder (called something like "Other TV Shows") and put any shows that are not in TheTVDB.com website in there? At least then you'd have all the stuff you manually maintain in one place away from everything else. Alternatively, you could add these shows to the TheTVDB.com website then they will scrape. Others may also have these same shows and would appreciate it, especially if you create a banner (and fanart).

Thanks fekker. Just one last question. How do I reset the MIP tv show database? For example, in MC all you had to do was remove the tv show folder from scan folders, delete all the .nfo files from the folder, close MC, open MC, add tv show folder to scan folders and then it would think it was a new folder for setup. So what is the procedure for removing one tv show and then re-adding the tv show?

I think just moving the custom shows to a new folder is the best solution since I really don't do anything special with the NFO files. All I do is name the show and give it a thumbnail. I don't think the tvdb would benefit from that little detail.

Just removing the tvshow.nfo will cause it to rescan that data.. it's dynamic, so each time you load the show, everything is checked and new items are automatically updated, anything that's missing, images or .nfo's, are added. I don't store data about what's in the collection for movies or tvshows.. just the path to where to scan items. I do cache the data from the site, images and xml's.. those are checked based on the configuration for tvshows and updated as required.
Can you run a scan in debug mode so I can check which part is failing on.
create a text file called debugtvshows in root directory (by default c:\program files\movieinfoplus).. on the TV Show tab there will be a new button "Debugger .. load tv shows" click on that and wait while it processes (it's takes 2 to 3 times longer to scan then a normal tv show scan).. this outputs a text log and a dialog box.. send me or pastebin the debug log that is output. (file is tvshowdebug.log)

Well, i went ahead and got VS Studio 2008
And stopped it from stripping the brackets.
And just for my movies, i made it use preservedname throughout the process instead of the moviename
- matthuisman - 2009-01-13
But, tonight im gonna modify it to find the .nfo file in the folder, and get the naming scheme from this.
EG:
it will find my Movie (2008).nfo and so figures to then look for Movie (2008).avi
etc etc
this will allow for any naming not just the IMDB name

Cool.. make sure you grab the latest svn version of the download dialog that fails back to wget if the stream is broken or you'll end up with a bunch of images that are only partially completed.
The namefilter function cleans up the names and filters out data, that's where the ( ) strip was being done in the last release, the current file release removed that code.

Thank you for the patch. I now have TV Show section working on vista x64.
Yay. Organization is great.
EDIT: But now i am getting a crash when updating movies in download mode.

C:\Program Files\movieinfoplus\temp\tvdb\everything
This will be fixed in the next release, handled by the installer itself.
Right on, created the folder and the app went right away to syncing up!

Thanks!
Will update SVN when i get home!
When i was debuging, i noticed the program looked different to your latest release :S
Spesh in the settings area.
Do i meant to be using the BETA2 folder?

Yup, beta 2 is the current branch with the latest rev's
monovb is the version for mono use (cross platform)
monovb/forms will be just the gui
monovb/backend will be the backend components
I've got blandoon onboard to assist with the mono side of things, starting with compile error testing and attempting to sort out the cryptic compile errors

Fekker,
I believe what maxposure is experiencing is what was happening to me. After selecting a file it starts to download and at least for me once it would download all I would do was click fanart or posters, and then it would crash. I haven't updated the patch yet, as I'm encoding on that pc right now. Will try either later on tonight or tomorrow once encoding is done.

Program seems to be hanging on this URL:
Code:
http://www.impawards.com/2008/posters/w.html"><img SRC = "thumbs/imp_w.jpg" BORDER = 2></A><A HREF = "w_ver2.jpgIt doesn't crash, it just sits there trying to download it till I manually close the progress window.
