[FAQ] Series added - asks for title for every single episode!
rick.ca:
I already explained this. Don't select the episodes. Select the series record and update.
[Edit] Sorry for the confusion. I've revised my first reply to clarify.
deazo:
Rick, just so you know, if I select the series record only, the episodes are not getting updated, I have to select the list of episodes to update these.
Using the method you described earlier (creating the series BEFORE scanning files) should solve this I guess, but I was doing it the other way round, scanning first (which would give me the type of list Happy2k has) then scraping the data from imdb.
Now when scraping, however, I was not asked to confirm the series name each time, but I guess this is because the series name is on all my files? (Eureka S01E05.avi for example)
Happy2k, are your files written like this: "S02E05.avi" or with the series name?
In the imdb plugins settings, you have to tick the "episodes" box and also in the "configure" menu, you need to tick "download episodes".
rick.ca:
Thanks, deazo. I now realize the plugin is still working, even though the TVDb website is down. I forgot that when I mass-update episodes, I use Silent mode (set at bottom of Preferences - Plugins) to prevent the prompts. Contrary to what I suggested earlier, the series and episode records (for each season) have to be updated separately—just like any other plugin.
I do strongly recommend adding a series and updating it with IMDb (to add the episodes) before scanning for media. Attempting the reverse is inefficient and error prone. That's not going to be the case if all existing episodes are in the database, and the episode files are properly named (e.g., Series title S00E00.avi).

I just tried creating the series first, then adding the episodes, and.. Slightly better..
If i add season 1+2+3, it loads the info just fine, but! It also adds season 4 to the list - eventho it wasnt in the folder i just scanned.
Rest of the episodes are perfect - title is correct, info is there. Its good! But.. It adds the entire series - all episodes, even those not present in the folder i just scanned.
nostra:
The TVDB plugin was improved recently. The new version should only ask once for the right series title if episodes are selected.
