Movie Library Problems

Filed under: xn--cnq77f.com

  • I'm trying to import my movies, and whenever I try nothing gets imported. I can import my tv shows just fine, but movies just will not work. I have it set to scrape from imdb. Whenever I try to "scan for new content" I can see it pop up and say "compressing database" but thats it. I checked the naming structure... and nothing still.

    I'm using beta 2 and have my folders set up like this:

    MoviesThe Sandlot (1993)The Sandlot (1993).avi

    I also tried it without the (year) also... no difference.

    here's my pastebin log... http://pastebin.com/m6f609785

    any ideas? Thanks!


  • i just noticed one thing.. dunno if its supposed to do this, but when i do check run automated scan or scan recursively... and click ok, the setting don't seem to be there again if I go back to the set content screen.... is that normal?


  • It probably should say something like "Selected folder contains a single video", too bad it's to late for a string change for 8.10


  • There`s not even a scan error on the given movie in your log. What are your scraper settings?


  • folder contains a single video does not apply to your scenario.
    Did you bother to read up on this?

  • Don't use "folder contains a single video" as it assumes only a "single" video :) Uncheck that option and report back if its working for you.

    I have a folder c:XMBCtestMovies with individual subfolders for each movie like c:XMBCtestMoviesThe Sandlot (1993)

    But I have the source location set to c:XMBCtestMovies then I pick "set content", contains > movies, set to imdb.com

    and "use folder names for lookups" checked and "folder contains a single video" is also checked.

    Then I go to scan for new content... and it just comes up real fast and disappears like nothing happened.

    I've tried run automated scan and scan recursively also but to no avail...

    DOH! I completely read that wrong! I was thinking that it meant that each subfolder had just one movie in it.

    Sorry for the lame post!

    Yeah thats where I got confused at was the phrasing of that line... if it had "selected" in the wording... it would make way more sense...

    Sorry again guys... I actually did read the wiki first... but just read it wrong was all :sniffle:
