Hi everybody, I'm still here with another problem.
I added three tv shows (Dexter, Prison Break and Californication) with "Add Source" in "Video - Browse".
Then I right-clicked on each on my tv-shows, and I set the content of each folder (TV-Show, using thetvdb.com). For Dexter and Prison Break it works, but for Californication not. I think it happens because first time I stopped the downloading of Californication's infos (I don't rembember why :D ).
Now when I right-click on Californication and I choose "Search info for files" it shows the windows "Downloading files ... D:\Video\Telefilm\Californication", but below there isn't any downloading bar and after a few seconds it shows "Compressing archive", only for a while.
And it doesn't download any informations for this tv-show. Maybe it's some corrupted file.
Where are the tv-shows' info files located? How can I solve this problem?

I've already tried to put the Californication's folder to another path, to change its name.
I also tried to change the info source, like imdb or tvrage.com.

I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 32bit, and XBMC 8.10 Atlantis.
My PC configuration:
-QuadCore Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, 2400 MHz
-4 GB RAM DDR2
-ATI Radeon HD 3850 512MB
-Realtek ALC888/1200 @ Intel 82801GB ICH7

You have to set the content on the parent folder of your TV shows not at each TV show folder.

See here.

You do not have to do this. I set content on each of my show folders individually and it works fine. You just need to put a check next to "folder contains only one show" if you do it this way.

Albymilan, please post some examples of your directory/filename structure for Californication.

Albymilan, please post some examples of your directory/filename structure for Californication.

Here there are some examples.
D:\Video\Telefilm\Californication\Season 1\1x02.Hell.a.Woman.avi
D:\Video\Telefilm\Californication\Season 1\1x02.Hell.a.Woman.srt
D:\Video\Telefilm\Californication\Season 1\1x03.The.Whore.of.Babylon.avi
D:\Video\Telefilm\Californication\Season 2\2x01.Slip.of.the.Tongue.avi
D:\Video\Telefilm\Californication\Season 2\2x02.The.Great.Ashby.avi

P.s.: The first time I used XBMC the directories were the same and all worked fine...

However, i solved partially the problem in this way:
Video->Browse. I selected Californication, then I had two folders: Season 1 and Season 2.
Right-click on Season 1, tv-show info. In the window I chosed "Reload" (or Refresh or Recharge, I don't know the specific traduction in english of Ricarica), then it asked: "Update info for all episode?", i chosed Yes and then it has shown a list of results on tvdb.com.
I clicked on "Manual", then I wrote the name of the tv-show (in this case Californication), and it has found fan-arts, infos etc..
Obviously i did the same for the folder Season 2.

With this procedure now I have "Californication" in the Tv Shows zone, the only inconvenient is that when I enter in Video-Browse, it doesn't show the Californication icon, I have to enter in this folder to view infos.

I hope I've explained myself somehow.
