Issue #ScottPearce1

Using TVCollectionManager 0.2

Error message appears when on "Importing Episodes and Banners" screen.  Message is "The given paths format is not supported."

This is occuring for me for the series "Star Trek: Enterprise".  The folder naming on my system is just like any other working series, the difference appears to be that the Series name from www.thetvdb.com contains a ":".

Let me know if you cannot reproduce this and/or need more info from me.

Cheers,

Scott

 

 

 

Issue #ScottPearce2

Using TVCollectionManager 0.2

If I Import some series, then wish to import some additional series, all my original entries are deleted from the list and replaced with only those that were part of the second import.

It would be useful to be able to ADD series to an existing collection set.

Let me know if you cannot reproduce this and/or need more info from me.

Cheers,

Scott

Issue #ScottPearce3

Using TVCollectionManager 0.2

In the initial "Import Status" screen, it is possible to add rows to the grid, by typing in text in the last blank row.  If you do this, a crash occurs with the message "Specified cast is not valid".

You may want to lock down the grid cells, and remove the blank grid row from the end, to stop the grid control from adding new rows automatically if this blank row is edited.

Let me know if you cannot reproduce this and/or need more info from me.

Cheers,

Scott

Issue #1 - There is a problem with using ":" in the series name because windows doesn't allow them filenames.  I will have to give it some thought on the best way to handle this problem but I will fix it in the next bug release.

Issue #2 - Currently, the import process overwrites your collection everytime.  I plan to allow multiply import/updates but I wanted to get the program out for testing before adding that functionality.  It will added in the one of the next couple of releases(not bug fix releases).

Issue #3 - I will lock the grid in the next bug release so it cannot be changed.

I will be adding the feature to change/add to the collection series/episodes without using the import.  I am currently working on that process now.

Thanks for your quick response. 

For issue ScottPearce1, maybe you could simply strip forbidden chars when creating the xml files.

For issue ScottPearce3, note that I have been using the "Complete" column in the grid to have the software "skip" certain folders, ie. folders I dont want imported into the collection and folders that are giving error (like the star trek one mentioned in issue ScottPearce1).  Maybe you could lock the "Completed" column, but add another, unlocked column titled "Skip".  If the "Skip" cell is ticked for a row, then that series does NOT get imported.

Keep up the good work,

Scott

Thanks for your beautiful work!

Issue #ScottPearce4

Using TVCollectionManager 0.3

Error message appears when performing a "TVLibrary Export".  Message is "Index and length must refer to a location within the string." next line "Parameter name: length."

This is occuring for me for the series "Planet Earth".  The folder naming on my system is just like any other working series.  I cannot see anything in the series data, nor in my folder/file naming that stands out as different from any other tv series.

To reproduce:

1.  Create a folder called "test".  Within this create a folder called "Planet Earth".  Within this create a folder called "Season 1".  Within this create a text file and rename it something like "Planet Earth - 1x03 - Fresh Water.avi".

2.  Open TVCollectionManager and point it at your "test" folder.  Perform an import.

3.  Now perform an export - you should see the error message.

Let me know if you cannot reproduce this and/or need more info from me.

Cheers,

Scott

Found the problem.  It is related to the runtime of the series. I am not checking to see if it is blank so when I try to convert it to seconds for use in TV Libarary it bombs.

I will fix it in the next bug release.  If you want to fix it before the release, edit the collection.xml file and add <runtime> 60 min </runtime> to the planet earth series.

Thanks for your prompt response. 

I have updated the Planet Earth series data at www.thetvdb.com, so the steps to reproduce for bug #ScottPearce4 are no longer valid.

woodrbe,

Just installed this and am having issues.  When I hit import after choosing my directories, the Collection Manager goes throught all my shows and matches up the series.  After it hits the last one, I get an error msg and the program can't go any further.  Here's some info of how I have my set up.

Two directories: E:\Videos, F:\Tv Shows\Videos

Series (spread across the two directories:

Battlestar Galatica, Chappelle's Show, Deep Space Nine, Entourage, Friday Night Lights, Freak & Geeks, Da Ali G Show, Lost, Miami Vice, Sex and the City, Star Trek Enterprise, Star Trek The Original Series, The Sopranos, The Wire, Veronica Mars

(Lost actually shows up twice in the processing list because I have it two seperate directories, one on each drive - don't know if that's an issue)

Files are names as so 1x1 - Pilot all in the show directory - no seasons directory.

Also, in the import status screen, I noticed that there is a blank entry underneath the last series.  Don't know if that's an issue. 

Hope this helps.  Really looking forward to using this.

Here's the error msg

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

How would I set the Episode Pattern to export correctly for how I do my TV Episodes?

Examples are:

TV Shows\Scrubs\Season 1\01 My First Day.dvr-ms
TV Shows\Firefly\01 The Train Job.dvr.ms  (I'm guessing I'd need to add a Season 1???)
TV Shows\Sports Night\Season 1\01 Pilot.dvr.ms

Any help would be appreciated.

haubrija,

I will look into why the program is bombing for you. 

As for Lost showing up twice, that is how it is designed because since the series is in two different directories, it needs to keep up with each location to properly export the series info.

thanks

Ben

nkcaump,

Unfortunately, the episode pattern is dependant upon a season number and episode number.  I cannot tell by your examples if the 01 in the titles is the season or the episode.  I could possibly work on way to search based on the season being the directory if the number in the files was the episode number but that would be a feature request that I would only work on if several users requested it.

Sorry, I couldn't be more help
