Thanks Billy for the steady stream of updates...
I have updated to V2.233

I found kind of a bug.

My NAS is full so I'm having to put new episodes onto a different share. The problem is that I have some episodes of a TV show on the NAS, & some on the new share. (Probably a bad idea anyway )

The problem comes in that now I have two listings for the TV show, but also that it doesn't matter which of these I choose, it gives me the episodes for the first occurance only.

It would be nice if somehow two seperate locations with the same show name can somehow appear to be combined...not sure how easy that will be since the second location doesn't have its own tvshow.nfo

PS. Perhaps another, when I do a scan for new episodes, should the status bar progress indicator do something? At the moment it remains blank.

&...when I scan for new movies, the progress bar doesn't work there either, but it also says "0Scanning for new Movies" i.e. the text has a leading '0'


Thanks

TV Shows need to be in a single root folder.

MC searches your folders for new media, since it has no way of knowing how many new media files it will find the progress bar stays blank. Once this has been completed it will update the progress bar as it scrapes the media.

...but with the scanning for new episodes, the number of TV Shows is known isn't it? Couldn't the progress indicator indicate the progress of checking each TV Show entry for new episodes?

Thanks

So I upgraded to 2.233, but the app is failing to start. It dies on "loading actor library", with the exception:

System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.
at System.Number.StringToNumber(String str, NumberStyles options, NumberBuffer& number, NumberFormatInfo info, Boolean parseDecimal)
at System.Number.ParseInt32(String s, NumberStyles style, NumberFormatInfo info)

...I'd be happy to clear and rebuild the library, but the app is dead if I hit "continue", so I can only quit at that point.

I am trying to scrape a TV show that uses the year number for the series number (eg Red Bull Air Races) however s08e01 does not find anything and XBMC companion does not seem to recognize 2008e01 as a valid search string. How should these be named?

I'll look into the error,
In the meantime you could delete the quickstart cache file(s) from the media companion application data folder.

In Windows XP this is located at : 'C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Media Companion\'
In Windows Vista this is located at : 'C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Media Companion\

This will force a library rebuild when you start the program.

At the moment there is no way to do this with MC, I may look into it at some point in the future, it isn't really a priority though.
