nul7 Wrote:For anyone who builds from SVN, please give the current code a workout to let me know what shows it misses when scanning. I don't use XBMC for TV Shows and don't download any, so I have no clue what all the naming conventions and folder structures are, but I think I did ok. It will read nfo's and find posters/fanart if they already exist and put all of the data into the database. The GUI is just a list display so far... I'll try to get more done over the weekend.

Keep in mind, this is just the first iteration of the TV Show scanning code, so I'm sure there will be lots of modifications to come. I have not yet added support for video_ts or single video files with multiple episodes/seasons. Also, a question: Does XBMC support stacking of TV Show files or is that something I can leave out?

NasaGeek Wrote:It scanned all of my TV Shows (6 series) just fine. I organize my episodes somewhat generically:

Code:

NameOfShow
S01
  S01E01 - NameOfEpisode.avi
  S01E02 - NameOfEpisode.avi
S02
NameOfNextShow

and so on and so forth.

Code:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets : warning MSB3245: Could not resolve this reference. Could not locate the assembly "System.Data.SQLite, Version=1.0.65.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=db937bc2d44ff139, processorArchitecture=x86". Check to make sure the assembly exists on disk. If this reference is required by your code, you may get compilation errors.
error BC30002: Type 'SQLite.SQLiteCommand' is not defined.

and about 50 of the bc30002 errors. I don't *really* know what i'm doing, but I do know that it worked previously for me when you were first starting out ember. I feel like I'm missing some dependencies or something... Any ideas?

olympia Wrote:Do you have System.Data.SQLite.dll in the destination directory of the compliling?

sumofatguy Wrote:I do yes. It's updated right from source, so whatever is packaged normally with it is there.

nul7 Wrote:You either need to install sqlite on your computer or change the reference in visual studio to point to the dll (Project -> Properties -> References).

blaize Wrote:My folder structure for series looks pretty much the same as anyones:

NameofShow 1
Season 1
S01E01 - NameOfEpisode.avi
S01E02 - NameOfEpisode.avi
Season 2
NameofShow 2


But some filenames are also like this:
NameofShow.S01E01
NameofShow - S01E01


but the folder structure should be pretty much the same for anyone who is serious about working with series

But man.. i cant wait for EMM to have a good working TVshows section, my current app (MIP) isnt really something i like working with.
btw.. can you try and make sure it support series with only 1 season? (like Berserk, densha-otoko etc..) series that stopped after one season.

coolspot18 Wrote:I'm sure this has been asked before, but what is the best way to force a refresh of the Video Library?

I updated my whole collection with .nfos, fanart, thumbanils and I want XBMC to pick up these files.

I tried:

-Update on Start - this only picks up new files not existing updated ones
-Scan for New Content - picks up only new content
-Update Library - picks up only new content

I need to manually "refresh" each item one at time right now. Is there a mass refresh? The closest I found is to "Set Content to None" then readd... is there a more efficient method?

Thanks.
