kamakamadaun 6 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I have a problem that is about driving me insane... I have a folder: \video\_TV shows\Krøniken (2004) Within are 4 Season folders named "Season XX" and one specials folder. "_TV shows" contain a collection.xml file. Now the problem is that whatever I do it seems MediaBrowser thinks each of the season folder are a separate series. It creates series.xml files in each season folder. I tried deleting everything and fixing the metadata with Media Center Master but when I do a rescan with MediaBrowser it re-creates series.xml files in each season folder and seems to ignore the series.xml made by MCM in the Krøniken (2004) folder. I tried searching for "Krøniken" in the log file after a re-scan but I don't find anything, even with debug logging enabled. Any advise is highly appreciated.
kamakamadaun 6 Posted October 24, 2013 Author Posted October 24, 2013 Thank you! I was under the impression that collection.xml was needed since the "video" folder contains several other folders?
Luke 40086 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 I'm not sure who told you to do that but that is not a part of any of our documentation.
Solution Luke 40086 Posted October 24, 2013 Solution Posted October 24, 2013 remove the collection.xml file 2
kamakamadaun 6 Posted October 24, 2013 Author Posted October 24, 2013 Dunno anymore. As far as I remember it solved other issues I was having with mixed folder levels. Perhaps I was abusing it somehow. So in which situations is it appropriate? Only for "real" boxsets/film series (as Harry Potter e.g.)?
kamakamadaun 6 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) I figured out where the idea came from. In media center master you can only access nested folders if you convert them to collections. MCM uses "collection" for any nested folder. Edited November 3, 2013 by kamakamadaun
