TV incremental scan broken?

[Avigrace]

If I delete my videos database and do a full scan xbmc will find all of my shows just fine, however if I then add to my collection xbmc will not add them to my Library. Deleting and rescanning will include them properly.

Is incremental updating of Shows broken? Movies always get picked up fine and I have not had any problems there, just TV Shows.

I have all my TV shows names correctly and I have nfo's and artwork from MIP. I have made sure that the contents of the folder is set to TV shows.

This is with 9.04, I have also tried several SVN's since hoping it had been fixed but I still have the same issue.

Every single post I have seen claiming that TV shows don't update have this in common.

I suspect it's some interaction with the nfo - perhaps the <episodeguide> hasn't been updated (perhaps only according to XBMC). I'd recommend creating a dummy filesystem and getting it reproducible on that, then make that available for others to test.

I was just coming here to report this.

If i do an "Update Library", new episodes are not picked up.

But if i go on the specific show i know has new episodes and do a
"Scan For New Content", then the new episodes are picked up.

I tought i was taking crazy pills until i tried the "Scan For New Content"

I use Media Companion and this happens with or without an .nfo for the
missing episodes.

jmarshall : When you say dummy file system, do you mean reproduce the file
and folder structure but have dummy .avi/.mkv files with real .nfos?

Correct.

My post may of been a little misleading, some more info..


I have my TV shows as RSS feeds in SABNZBD and they auto download when finished and are put into my TV Shows folder. At this point all extra files are auto deleted (nzb,par2,nfo, etc)
Sabnzbd then runs a script which runs TVRename which scans that folder and tidies up the filename and makes sure it is in the correct folder which is..

E:\TV Shows\ShowName\Season\ShowName - S01e01 - title.mkv.

SABNZBD does a good job of putting the file file in the right folder and giving it a good name, the only bit that TV Rename does is to add the title to the end.

I have tested XBMC with the file at all stages and at none of them will it be added to the library unless I delete library and update.

If I go through Videos to the file I can obviously play it but I cannot get it to import from there. Also, from TV series if I right click on a show and update it doesn't pick it up.

XBMC will refuse to add this to the library unless I delete the database and rescan. If I run MIP to get the nfo file it also refuses to add it to the library.

When you right-click on a TV Show, do you choose Update Library or do you
choose Scan For New Content? Try the latter and let us know if that works for
you. It does for me but of course that's not convenient since you must remember
all the shows that have new episodes.

I will create a dummy file system and a trac ticket later today.
