Given that you were already able to do this, would it be possible to replicate the functionality for Refresh?
Regards,
Bart
I did have a look at the Refresh function but the complexities of converting this to a single root folder refresh is substancial. So at this time, no. Not for Refresh.
To improve Refresh, please ensure you have selected Use multiple threaded version where available in Preferences -> Common. This will scan all root folders at the same time, instead of one at a time.
Rob.

Bart
EDIT: Wow! That setting made a big difference refreshing movies! Total time for Refresh for my 5600+ movie collection was 1 minute, 57 seconds, compared to over 5 minutes before.
A Refresh All of my tv shows (544 tv shows, 14,900 episodes) took 3 minutes, 17 seconds. This is not much of a difference from before. Actually, the time with the setting off was slightly lower, 2 minutes, 47 seconds. I am not sure what is going on there.
Anyway, I am really happy with the difference for movies! Thank you again, Rob.

Actually, the Multi threading is only active for Movies. The time different for TV refresh I have no idea. Maybe a caching issue with windows
(big guess there)I tried getting Multithreading active for TV series, but it became a nightmare and highly unstable.
May have another look at it one day, but still have a list of features/bugs to get past first.
RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - bsoriano - 2018-07-10
That makes sense, thanks Rob.

Hey Rob,
Thanks for the latest release. Was wondering if you're still contemplating a change to the tv renaming to be more like movies? A little feature request, can you add scraping the IMDB id for shows? There's the option to scrape for episodes, but, not for the show itself. Thanks.

Hey bobrap
Truth is I haven't had time to look into that just yet, as I'm still working on some other half-finished changes to artwork naming. It is on my to do list.
As for scraping the IMDB Id for Shows, this is done automatically if you use the Batch rescrape wizard.
IE: for a single series, right-clik and select Use rescraper wizard on this show. Then select something like Premiered.
In the batch rescrape wizard, if the series is missing the IMDB Id, it gets filled in...if its available on TVDb.
Now, this IMDB Id will get updated, only if there is not an existing IMDb Id allocated to the TV Series.
If the IMDB Id doesn't get updated, then it is not available on TheTVDb. Maybe check their site for the series and if it definitely is missing, then add to the series.
If the IMDB Id is allocated to the series, please pm me the tvshow.nfo file, and what specific TV scraper options you have selected (ie: if use TVDB Api is selected...) or if your using XBMC TVDb scraper.

(2017-11-03, 05:32)Edworld Wrote: vbat99,Not sure if this is the same, but I've just scraped a 10 episode TVshow and am also getting the episodes listed twice in MC. Showing E1-9 twice but not E10? The folder only has 10 episodes (Using the latest version 3.7.1.1.) Been quite a while since I added any new shows to my server, so perhaps I stuffed something up? Been using MC for a long time though.
Thanks for all the udpates
Is there an option to clean the episodes listed in any given season?
I have a couple of seasons that have duplicate shows listed
Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2018-07-20
Copy a couple of the episode filename here so I can get an idea of what might be happening
RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - KidKiwi - 2018-07-20
Strike Back - Retribution.S06E01.Episode1.iso
Strike Back - Retribution.S06E02.Episode2.iso
Strike Back - Retribution.S06E03.Episode3.iso
I'm sure I've had this issue before and always managed to resolve it. However, its been almost a year since I added anything to my server and I've forgotten some of the details. Happens when you get older
. Thanks for the assist.
RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - KidKiwi - 2018-07-20
Oaky, I tried a couple more shows and the same thing happened when there is an "Episode" in the file name (well that's what I think). MC is mistakenly thinking there is 2 episodes
RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - vbat99 - 2018-07-20
I think MC is being fooled due to the E of the word episode, and the number right at the end of the word episode, no space between.
It shouldn't trip on this, so I'll do some testing.

I left the "space" out between the "Episode" and the "Number". I just discovered I usually put a space in there and in this instance I didn't. With a space it works as it always has. Without a space, I get the epsiodes listed twice. Only seems to happen for number 1-9. Number 10 epsiode didn't do this. Thanks

I can not duplicate the issue with Media Companion 3.711b
Can you advise me of the TV series, and also the language.
RE: Media Companion 3 beta's - Now with Music Video support - Levi59 - 2018-07-23
Lucifer in french
And i get the same error if i remove the tvshow.nfo and remove/save/add/save the folder. MC search for the new TV Show and i get the same error as before.

Not able to reproduce. Can you upload your config.xml somewhere and PM me a link to download it.
