JeremyFr79 228 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) Ok, so after reading here I found that the team has changed how mixed content was handled so I'm trying to adapt my settings to work with the new methodology but am running into a brick wall...Let me explain... My Library overall is very basic folders are as follows Movies Concerts & Music Demo's and Calibration TV TV Series Series Name Season TV Specials Originally I had the TV folder set for mixed content as specials are read as movies, and well series are TV Series. At any rate this all broke so after reading about the changes I removed the TV folder from the library and then added to the Series and Specials folders seperately. Specials is working fine. But TV now refuses to even show content let alone find metadata etc. I went so far as to remove all xml/nfo, etc from the series folder structure in hopes that this would force a refresh of metadata but alas it has not. I've removed all folders from the Series folder and re-added hoping to force a refresh still nothing. No matter what I do I can no longer get MB to recognize anything TV related.

Beardyname 195 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 If i understand correctly you added a media folder called TV series with the content type set to tv? and now tv is failing to recognize shows etc? if yes could you provide a naming example so we can see why it's failing. and if no that's how you are supposed to do it, If you wish you can also add the TV folder as unset and then go to the media-editor and set "Content type" for your TV Series folder and for your TV Specials folder set it to movies.

Yes this is correct since it broke with the 2 combined under TV (originally it was set as mixed content which was working fine) But due to the change I removed the TV folder from my libary and added to the 2 sub-folders seperately. So now the TV Series folder is a main library folder with type set for TV. The folder structure is as follows TV Series (main folder containing all Series subfolders named for shows they contain) Series (Series Name) Season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyFr79 228 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 so for instance a path to an episode would be as follows TV Series\Scrubs\Season 1\S01E01-Pilot.mkv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardyname 195 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 hmm, have you tried a full refresh after this? (metadata-editor --> TV Series --> advanced full refresh) Since there is no reason that this should not work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can refresh, do a media scan etc and it just shows I have no shows. Edited January 6, 2015 by JeremyFr79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyFr79 228 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Ok I got it figured out, I was incorrect in what I posted. My Folder structure was TV\Series\Series Name\Season, apparently it doesn't like the parent folder being named "series" I changed it to "shows" removed and re-added to library and now it's working fine.

Beardyname 195 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) it should have worked even if the top folder was named series, odd well hey at least you are back up and running! *edit* oh wait did you mean you had the folder set to 2 above scrubs for example? medialibrary-->series-->scrubs and you added medialibrary in this case?

ebr 14930 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 The name didn't matter. It was the fact that you re added it with a different name that caused it to start fresh. You can try updating to the latest dev server as well which should handle this situation a little bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
