--nevermind.
So MIP knows how to deal with tv shows stored on DVD for a whole season? Neat. I was not aware of that. Or does it just download all the season info and then XBMC can use whatever it needs for a particular episode?

I've got an internal build for you to test out, remove your config and extract the zip file to your install directory.
There are a ton of changes in this build, but I've got most of the issues sorted out (i think).

Got the link. If you can, PM me regarding what that danged Autopilot does.

If you could, run the load tv shows in debug mode and shoot me the log file, it'll tell me what's failing.
(there's a thread within the last page or two on debugging tv shows)
On a side note, it's going to be hard to detect multiple episodes if they are in dvd format (ie VIDEO_TS folders).. an .iso image is much easier to work with in that the name of the iso doesn't matter for the dvd structure itself. example supernatural.s01e01-e02-e03-e04.iso would be a 4 episode dvd image file, with season 1, episodes 1 thru 4 in it. There's no way to jump to a specific .vob when going to play it in xbmc, but it would show the episode data. single renamed vob's would also work, but not in a dvd structure (i.e. VTS_01_01.vob is dvd structure, but to name it with episode specifc data would break that naming convention (i.e. can't burn it without renaming the files))
OK, running in debug mode, here is what the log says:

Confused - JiveTalker - 2009-01-20
fekker, I'm a little confused regarding all the information collated from the video file. Here is a sample from one of my movies:
<fileinfo>
<video>
<width>1280</width>
<height>696</height>
<codec>h264</codec>
<formatinfo>AVC</formatinfo>
<duration>1h 47mn 7s 41ms</duration>
<bitrate>4 915 Kbps</bitrate>
<bitratemode />
<bitratemax />
<container>This is the extension of the file</container>
<codecid>V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC</codecid>
<codecidinfo />
<scantype>Progressive</scantype>
</video>
<audio>
<codec>AC-3</codec>
<channels>6</channels>
<bitrate>640 Kbps</bitrate>
</audio>
</fileinfo>
Firstly, shouldn't the container field show "MKV" as that is the container format?
The thing that really confuses me though is that I thought the point of writing this information into the NFO file was so that it could be added the the XBMC database so that skinners could then use it to put pretty logos next to each move title. Is this not what it is for? If so, then the whole Image Tagger project would seem to be coming from the complete opposite direction of changing the posters to have logos within their image and thus meaning that they will often clash with the visual style of the skin. Am I missing something here?

dbone1026 Wrote:First off, I want to say what a great program Movie Info is. I've tried reading through as much of the thread as possible and the wiki, but am still having problems with TV Shows. All my tv shows are box set dvd rips (Video_TS). My folder structure is as follows:
X:\Videos\TV Shows\Show\Season\Disc#
For example:
X:\Videos\TV Shows\Supernatural\Season 1\Disc 1
X:\Videos\TV Shows\Supernatural\Season 1\Disc 2
X:\Videos\TV Shows\Supernatural\Season 1\Disc 3
When I select "Load TV Shows" I get the "Movie Info Plus - File Download In Progress" pop up, but it just hangs there. Hitting cancel does nothing, so I have to x out. When I x out, I get a message "Error in banner read"
Any ideas what I am missing? Thanks
Verify if the directory "temp\tvdb\everything" exists in ur installation. I faced this issue previously, which was resolved by creating that directory.

Well, that seemed to do part of the trick, thanks for that. I created that folder and now they are showing up. Question though, MIP still tells me that there are 0 TVShows (even though three are listed, Arrested Development, Chappell Show, and Supernatural) in that box right below. Also, it appears that MIP is not giving me options for each season, it is just listing the tv show.
- th0r - 2009-01-20
Haven't had much success in getting MIP to identify my tv shows yet (I am waiting for custom regex support in MIP..which is being worked on AFAIK)

yeah, that's why is shows up as h264 as well, for the HD media tagging project. It's also for use as part of the management side of things in MIP, I just haven't wrote that part of it yet
The file extension part would be the actual extension, the placeholder text was part of the mock up when spec'ing out what to put into the .nfo files, it's fixed in the new rev that I am working on.
The tagging of images is a different way to tag the movie, and great for non HD content.
It's basically both options in one tool, the poster tagging works now, later the HD tagging of media will be in xbmc. That's one of the cool things about MIP, the cached posters make it very easy to reset posters, auto-pilot also does the same thing for entire collections or subsets.
make sense?

if they are video_ts, you need the build of MIP that I am working on, it's getting close to being completed.

th0r - grab the test version I posted a page or so back and give the custom regex a try, it's under the settings tab. Make sure you remove your config file, there's a ton of new items that it needs to run properly that are new to this version. Also, don't run auto-pilot in mixed mode (meaning with both files and folders, another new option in this build)
Let me know if you need the expression for your media, (if so can you give me an example of your file names again, i know its in one of these posts, but it's eluding me)
- th0r - 2009-01-20
Will do that now (and for the file name pattern, it's the enhancement request ticket in the SF.net tracker)
- digitalhigh - 2009-01-20
@fekker -
Can you add a scrollbar for the "Current Icon Fullsize" if the window dimensions are larger than the screen? Thataway you can see the entire poster when they're bigger than 768 pix...
Edit:
Also, possibly consider filtering the following folders by default when loading movies/shows:
CD1
CD2
CD3
Subs
Sample
Not to ignore them, but to not see them as movies? I can filter them using the Name filter, but then I have no room to add the custom strings for (cam) and (TS).

Code:
s(\d{1,2})_[-EeXx]([0-9]+)The test build will not work, I missed something in the season number check.
I'll have a build posted later tonight that will work for you.
