Show Naming Problems

[mrmr]

I was hoping I could some help in naming my media to display correctly in boxee. I do know that all these shows are in the tvdb database and I did try a bunch of different names..but still nothing.

I have a few problem videos.

1. Strangers With Candy is the first. I have all 3 seasons and there are 2 discs per season and several episodes on each disc. How would I label these if when converted they are only one .m4v file with multiple episodes in that file? I do get this to show up in Boxee but unfortunately it thinks its the movie..I have tried Wrong Video but that feature rarely works for me.

2. Da AliG Show. Once again this has 2 seasons but I can get Boxee to recognize this one at all no matter what I name it.

3. Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! I have all 4 seasons separated by episodes within a season. I just can't get this to show up either.

Thanks in Advance. If anyone can shed some light on how to name these that would be appreciated.

I have read that many times and it does not help my issues I am having with these shows. That was actually the first place I looked. If you could tell me how you would name these that would be great.

Thanks

Still having issues with these shows...anyone have any advice?

If I were to guess it would be.

Strangers.With.Candy.S01E01.avi or the extension that you may have
Da.AliG.Show.S01E01.avi
Tim.and.Eric.Awesome.Show.Great.Job!.S01E01.avi With this one the ! may cause problems, try with and without.

Also check at thetvdb.com as to how they are named as this is where Boxee looks them up.

Thanks for the help. I actually have them named that way currently but the Tim and Eric one is really tricky because it doesn't like the Great Job part at all in the name as there was a moment when Boxee recognized it then it didn't again and hasn't since. I will have to keep messing around with this. I have been trying to figure these one out for a couple weeks if you can believe it..its just extremely frustrating even when Boxee does recognize it when you click Wrong Video and still does nothing to fix it!!!

Check the name on thetvdb.com site.

Yeah I did that and named them exactly as it was on the site but actually tvdb names are still not recognized in boxee? I don't know what else to do. It has it in there as Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! but Boxee does not like that name so I did get it to appear briefly without the Great Job and comma after show but then it stopped recognizing it for some reason and I have not been able to get it back..I'll keep trying any other help is appreciated

still can't get Da Ali G Show to pop up. I just gave up on that. I did get Strangers with Candy working but nothing else and also whats weird is when I have Seasons in folders it finds the first season fine sometimes but wont find the others? ex. The Office...but it found all 3 seasons of Strangers with Candy? I am not sure why this is happening...

Thanks
