I was finally able to get my folders into Media Library. For the most part, TVDB is finding all my TV shows but there are a few that it will not 'scrape. I checked TVDB online and the shows info is available so I dont understand why my HUb is failing to get the info.
The shows is named correctly just as all my other series shows and they are perfect in the sense of all info and images being correct.
Ona seperate note.
My folder structure is set up in a way that I do not see info or images until I get deep into the folders. Example.
TV SHOWS (no image - assume I can use an image, just name it correctly)
— Adventure Time (at this point no folder image or info - would like)
----- Season 1 (have poster but no info - possible to have a general SEASON info?)
-------- Episode 1 - 26 (all images and info correct)
For folder images use a jpg and name it “folder” Like this, folder.jpg
I use images resized to 200x300 for folder art. Also getting folder info is not possible unless you use something like linksheets.
If you search the form you will find all kinds of cover art and folder art for genres and other things.
No, that’s not possible using the hub the way things stand.
To achieve that, You would have to use a link sheet theme and follow the guides on how to set things up.
I use Renamer to rename my shows ‘correctly’ acording to what most media players will read … XBMC, PLEX, WDTV …etc. All it does is name the file.
What I am having issue with is WDTV scraper (TVDB) not getting the info on the show even though it is named properly and the TVDB website has the shows info (images, episode info)
It’s like the internal scraper is not seeing the show online to get the info.
Example.
Camp - s01e01 - Pilot.mkv / HUB does not scrape it even though info is available on TVDB
The Walking Dead - s01e01 - Days Gone Bye.mkv / HUB scrapes it perfectly fine & supplies all info (images, episode info) as is on TVDB
Maybe not but that doesn’t dispute the fact that all my files are named the same and some are not being scraped by the players internal scraper despite the fact that the info is on the scraper site (TVDB)
There is definately some problem at the tvdb with the series Alice from 1976. I’ve renamed the files every way I can think of and none of my scrapers can find it execpt good old thumbgen, which finds them all.
I think not. It’s the site and/or the internal scraper.
I have 10 TV series and 1 show is having issue. I hardly call that LUCK.
I have manually done the work that the site cant do so I am good. If this means I have to do this every now and then, so be it. It’s not like it’s happening on a large amount.
My files are named just fine. 99% of my shows are found. Fact I can load the shows in Ember and have all the info instantly. So I am going to put blame on the site/WDTV for now.
