TV - External ID missing for TV Show


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello. 

 

I have a strange issue where the TV show Friday Night Lights is not being recognized as a TV show. The External ID is missing and is not able to be set in the Edit section. Any suggestions? 

 

Thanks!

Add (2006) at the end of the directory name. System can be confusing it with the 2004 movie of the same name. I have to do the same thing with the newer Doctor Who series. It is listed differently than Classic Doctor Who and without the (2005) in the directory name, most scrapers get confused and break on it.

 

You really shouldn't need it unless the TV 2 directory is identified as mixed content.

 

If that doesn't work, delete any tvshow.xml or movie.xml file from the directory and try again.

What are the contents of the folder

Thanks Wayne - adding (2006) to the folder name fixed it right away. The entire share is set for content to be TV, so I never thought about needing the year. Super easy fix though - thank you both for you quick replies!
