MKV files not appearing in library

[Tansill 0]

Recently I've started the intensive process of converting my tv and movie library, which are currently all in folder rips, to MKV. I started on a single tv season (US The Office, Season 1, DVD format) as a proof of concept to make sure everything is working right.

 

I've noticed that when I converted my old episodes to MVK (essentially replacing the "Audio/Video_TS" folders with a single MKV file), the "new" episodes do not show up in either MBT or MBClassic. The high-level "Season 1" images and metadata are there, but if I click into Season 1, it's empty...none of the episodes show up. Oddly, in MBClassic, on the EHS, the episodes do appear, but sans any metadata.

 

I tried converting a BluRay episode of Game of Thrones Season 2 as well, with the same result; When I go into the Season 2 library, episodes 1-9 (which are still in BluRay folder rips) appear fine, but episode 10 (which is the newly converted MKV) is missing.

 

I believe I've previously read that mixing folder rips and MKVs can cause this problem, but not sure if that is/was still the case.

 

Thoughts?

Thanks.

What does your directory structure look like? What are you naming the files? You might need to bring them inline with the specifications here:

Examples 1 and 3 for television is what you're looking for.

 

I use the following structure without problem:

/TV Series
   /Seinfeld
     /Season 1
       Seinfeld.S01E01.The Seinfeld Chronicles.mkv
       Seinfeld.S01E02.The Stake Out.mkv
       Seinfeld.S01E03.Number Six.iso

wipe the metadata and let it rebuild.

Thanks Wayne, that was it. I had the files inside the individual "sXXeXX, sXXeYY, sXXeZZ" folders left behind from the folder rips.
