Movies folder appears as a single movie

[rwgunther]

Since the 2.1 update, my Movies folder no longer shows up as a folder with contents, but as a single movie. It only seems to affect one particular physical folder--the folder with my movies in it. All the other folders are working fine. I've checked that I don't have any individual movie files in the root of the physical Movies folder, and it only contains other nested movie folders. I tried pointing this virtual folder to a different physical folder, and it works fine. When the virtual folder points to a physical folder that works fine AND my physical Movies folder, it also doesn't work correctly, but shows up as one movie.

I figured out what was causing the problem, and I suspect it's a bug in the 2.1 release. The one video that was appearing in the place of the movies folder was one of the few movies I had that was also in the specific movie folder as an WMV file. For example:

M:\MOVIES\VIDEO_NAME\AUDIO_TS\
M:\MOVIES\VIDEO_NAME\VIDEO_TS\
M:\MOVIES\VIDEO_NAME\VIDEO_NAME.WMV

It appears that Media Browser was finding the WMV, "bubbling" this up to the top level, and playing it instead of opening the Movies folder. When I removed the offending WMV, the same thing happened with another folder that contained a WMV. Eliminating that file, too, solved the problem. Now all my videos appear correctly in a top-level Movies folder. Weird.

I have someting that looks like the same.
This appears since I updated to the last version (10minutes ago)

I have a folder with series:

x:\VIDEO\TV SERIES\Planet Earth\Season 1\s0101 - xxx.mkv
x:\VIDEO\TV SERIES\Planet Earth\Season 1\s0102 - xxx.mkv
x:\VIDEO\TV SERIES\Planet Earth\Season 1\s0103 - xxx.mkv
.........

Media Browser now play directly only the first one. Without showing all the episodes?

Do somebody have a solution?

I think your naming format (s0101) may not be recognised. Try changing to s01e01 or 1x01.

[Bert20]

O sorry, that was a typing error.

I had allready s01e01

It was working in the old version.
Do your series works?

[Riccardo_Margiotta]

I don't have any problems with my TV shows, including Planet Earth. However, I used Meta Browser to download the data and images for each episode.

Is 'TV Series' one of your root folders on the home page, or is it 'Video'?

[Bert20]

TV Series is one of my root folders on the home page.

When I select this on the homepage, MediaBrowser starts directly th first episode.


I used only MetaBrowser to collect the data and images for the films.
As far as I know MetaBrowser can not connect to http://thetvdb.com/ to collect series.

In the old version this setup worked. I will try a complete reinstall of MediaBrowser today or tommorow.

[Riccardo_Margiotta]

Meta Browser also processes TV shows.

Do you have a loose video file sitting in the root folder?

Another thought - is Planet Earth the only TV series you have in that folder, or do you have more?

[Bert20]

You give the right clue!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had one serie in the folder with one season and two episode's.

Now I put in another serrie and now it is working.

But is this a bug now?

HI!


I also have a problem with the planet earth dvd episodes. In earlier versions, I added a folder called "Planet Earth", then a folder "season 1" and under that I added all episodes with correct namings. Then when I clicked "planet earth" in the poster view I arrived at the screen where all episodes show up with metadata.

Now in last version, I click "planet eart" in poster view, then I arrive at another screen that show only the poster for the dvd, and when I click that I get to the screen where I can select the episodes, but they don't have metadata anymore, only the blue annoying default picture!

How can we solve this???
