Diedrich 355 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 In my TV section of the Metadata Editor; some of my shows are not recognized and a refresh will not pull up any external id's. Shouldn't we have the ability to "identify" such as in the Movies section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) Is the Falling Skies folder empty? Edited November 23, 2014 by Angelblue05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diedrich 355 Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Yes. And I see where you are going - even more reason to provide a Identify button to populate the fields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maleficarum 68 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I don't think it starts pulling info unless there's at least a season folder in there, I may be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardyname 194 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Just to add what i said earlier: I have found that any season folder under the show fixes this, but you usually add the Season 1 before the others so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14903 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 The moral of this story is that an empty folder is not a TV series. It is just a folder (and, thus, nothing to identify). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diedrich 355 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Well, I have tried everything in vein. I tried S01, Season 1, Season 01, Season01 and none worked. I tried refreshing the show's into. I tried refreshing the TV parent. I even tried a shortened tvshow.nfo file containing the IMDB and TVDB IDs. None of that worked. Suggestions? @@ebr Could we get the ability in the GUI to simply add the IMDB or TVDB ID in the "External Ids" field to give the indexer a starting point?

ebr 14903 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 You will get that option as soon as the system recognizes it as a TV show. Just add a Season 1 folder and run a library scan. If any metadata files have been created in the folders, delete them as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diedrich 355 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 That was the trick, I had .nfo files in the main folder that XBMC had loaded. Thank you very much for your patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
