having issues with multi disc box sets

[Sorahl 1]

so. here I am, upgraded to V3 and I decide want to change how I've been doing things

Under V2 I had each disc in a box set ripped separately (all in Video_TS format)

Now i'm investigating the best way to do this more elegantly.

as a trial I have done this

The Adventures of Black Beauty Season One was in three separate folders (one for each disc)

Now I made this structure

The Adventures of Black Beauty

             Season 1

                   The Adventures of Black Beauty S01E01-E08

                                   disc files

                   The Adventures of Black Beauty S01E09-E16

                                   disc files

                   The Adventures of Black Beauty S01E17-E25

                                   disc files

 

no meta data is coming up. In the metadata manager I can not specify the IMDB code until I get down to the disc folder level. Even with the tt code in there it does not get the meta data. So.. when I look at my Movie view there is all these nice covers and then a blank box with lettering telling me that this is where Black Beauty is.

 

what am I doing wrong?

 

thanks for your help!!

Ideally, use MakeMKV to rip each episode as a separate file and label each one in a supported format like 'The New Adventures of Black Beauty S01E01 The Old World.mkv'.  Then all episodes for the season go into a folder together with a simple structure like:

 

\tv\The New Adventures of Black Beauty\Season 01

\tv\The New Adventures of Black Beauty\Season 02

Your movie view, or your tv view? If you've classified the folder structure as movies then it's not going to work.

 

whatever folder is above The Adventures of Black Beauty

 

if that folder is classified as tv then this ought to work just fine

ok.. I like the second idea better (Thanks anyway DeathSquirrel but I really like maintaining the dvd format). I can totally move all DVD's of tv shows to other folders just for that type of recording..

 

thanks.. i'll update after I make the move
