Tv show strange behavior

[grither]

Hello all. Due to some other problems I was having (now resolved) I had to recently rerun my jukebox

I’ve noticed for a couple of tv shows, I’m now getting two icons. For example for the show ‘no reservations’ I have a two identical thumbnails for the show, when I click one, it then shows me season 1 to 5. When I click the other one, it shows season 6 to 8! This is also happening for a couple of others as well, but by far the rest of my shows are showing the way I want- with just one thumbnail, and all the seasons behind it.

Its very possible I changed a setting that’s causing this (in the course of fixing my other probs) but does anyone have any advice for how I can fix it?

Look at your filenames.. Specifically the part before the season and episode number.. they do not match and you need to fix them to match.

Unfortunately it is not a matter of file names. I noticed the same. I went back up to version 2.6 r2962 where the problem does not exist.
Same settings always. I tried various tricks with nfo but no luck. I noticed the problem in Star Trek Next Generation and X-Men Evolution tv-series.

i will double check the filenames but i was pretty sure they are the same... will post back

for reference, the problem i am having is with Anthony Bourdain No Reservations, also Man v. Food Nation

and i think one other but i'm forgetting. will update tonight

I'll bet money it's the filenames..

If you can correctly post 1 filename from set A and 1 filename from set B, I'll tell you what is different.. It's probably minor like one has periods instead of spaces..

You lose the bet ....believe me

I spend a week looking for a solution with nfo edit since YAMJ process changed in the last builds. I installed all the builds till r3060 and renamed so all files using "total commander rename tool" and tv-rename application found here in forum (http://www.tvrename.com).

r2962 have no problem at all.

Folder/file names :
Star Trek Next Generation -- > Season 01 --> Star Trek Next Generation S01E01.mkv
Star Trek Next Generation -- > Season 02 --> Star Trek Next Generation S02E01.mkv
Star Trek Next Generation -- > Season 03 --> Star Trek Next Generation S03E01.mkv
Star Trek Next Generation -- > Season 04 --> Star Trek Next Generation S04E01.mkv
Star Trek Next Generation -- > Season 05 --> Star Trek Next Generation S05E01.mkv
Star Trek Next Generation -- > Season 06 --> Star Trek Next Generation S06E01.mkv

in the example of Star Trek, always i have two group of icons, Season 01,04,05,06 & Second group with Season 02,03.

Your post isn't accurate.. Look really close season 1 and season 2.. whatever the lowest episode number is.. you'll find somethign different in the filename.. a typo, maybe a period. something is different

[thanevag]

there is no point to continue this argument.
I renamed many times the files. There are no differences.

Thank you very much for your comments any way.
good night (its midnight here).

for me, the names also seem exactly the same. all periods, capital, and spaces. they used to be grouped perfectly fine, until i updated yamj and rebuilt the jukebox...so its not like these are 'new' files that happen to be mismatched. tried renaming a few times through sickbeard but not fixed after rerunning yamj...

i am on build r3049

[halfelite]

do you use NFO files by chance?

yes i do and i think the nfo files got screwed up... for man v food nation, just deleted everything but video files and artwork, ie deleted all xmls, all nfo's, tbn, etc... went into sickbeard and did 'full update' then reran jukebox and show is working

in process of doing same for anthony...

i guess it was my nfo's that got misaligned, while my files were ok.

thanks for all suggestions... recreating all my nfo files was part of the original problem i was trying to solve, and in the process it looks like a couple shows got corrupted

Interesting, I guess yamj at some point started to use more than just filenames for duplicates.

[Omertron]

TV Sets are compiled using the "Title", if the NFO overwrites that or changes it, then the chances are that it gets a different entry

[thanevag]

from my research...

The problem appeared in r3042 when a developer tried to
Fixes issue 1368
(Support XML NFO files without a root element)

After that all builds have the issue.
Seems that some changes made to nfo parsing....

[Omertron]

Can't trust that developer. All his work is shoddy.

What you may see happening is that NFO files that were previously ignored because they didn't scan properly are now being picked up and used.
