About This File

Imports TV Shows and Grabs the Information and Artwork 

 

 

this Plugin uses the Fanart.TV Api  and themoviedb Api to scrape images and details.

 

Go to tools

click import Tv Shows

select the folder that contains all your tvshows.

you may need to hit f5 to refresh the images.

 

Folder Structure is Vital your collection needs to be sorted as follows.

 

FolderContainingTvShows/TVShow/Episodes or Season Folders.

 

example

C:\Users\andre\Desktop\TV Shows\Arrow\Arrow.S05E23.HDTV.x264-SVA\Arrow.S05E23.HDTV.x264-SVA.mkv
C:\Users\andre\Desktop\TV Shows\Arrow\Arrow.S05E22.HDTV.x264-SVA.mkv
C:\Users\andre\Desktop\TV Shows\Arrow\Season 5\Arrow.S05E21.HDTV.x264-SVA.mkv
C:\Users\andre\Desktop\TV Shows\The Flash\S01E01 - Pilot.mp4
C:\Users\andre\Desktop\TV Shows\The Flash\Season 1\S01E02 - Next Episode.mp4

 

This creates a Game with the Same name as the folder.

all videos inside that folder are added as additional applications. so right clicking on a TV Show will give you a list of all episodes.

 

this only scans for mp4, mkv and avi I can always add formats this is just so we dont pick up image files and nfo files.

 

There will most likely be some bugs but they will never get ironed out unless I know about them so please dont feel shy posting your bugs.

@neil9000 @donarumo @lordmonkus thanks for your suggestions and support in my previous plugin this one was created just for you guys.

Very interesting. Is there a way to configure it to launch Plex Media Player for playback? Or have it sync the content with your Plex media server? Or would this just allow you to use BigBox as a front end for TV shows outside of a traditional media server?

So, this still works as of Dec. 2023.. but when i import a show, i have to manually change each additional app to use kodi as an emulator. I wonder if there's a way to automate this....
