slipsystem Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Import Tv Shows View 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.

DOS76 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 If you think of adding any more source the TVDB seems to be excellent that is what Plex uses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah KODI uses that as well. You just need to ask for a API key after you register a free account there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
