TV show episodes showing up multiple times

[poprock]

Here’s a strange one:

I’ve been recording a show called Dead Set from E4 in the UK on my EyeTV, exporting it as DIVX, filing it away nicely and watching it through Boxee.

For some reason though, when I added episode two to Boxee, I now have two copies of episode one in my Boxee list.

Now, without adding any more, another one has appeared. I now have three copies of episode one in my Boxee list. (I’d been adding a movie elsewhere, had the login crash problem and had to delete my recently viewed list. Hadn’t done anything else.)

Navigating to Wrong Video/Remove doesn’t delete them.

Any ideas, anybody? I’d like to keep the place tidy …

what is your file naming and folder structuring scheme?

(ie: ~/video/tv/lost/lost.01x01.avi)

Same thing happened to me when I added the office. All I did was just move the whole show to a different location so boxee wouldn't see it, then I restarted boxee and made sure the show didn't show up anymore. Then moved the show back in its original place and restarted boxee once more and helped it recognized the show

(side note: all of my office season 5 episodes say they were released on 12/31/1969)

Episodes one and two are from different sources (E01 downloaded, E02 self-recorded from EyeTV)

Filing structure & naming is:
TV Shows/Dead Set/dead.set.s01e01.ws.pdtv.xvid-river.avi
TV Shows/Dead Set/dead.set.s01e02.xvid.avi

Both episodes are being recognised okay (although at first episode one was coming up as release date 01.01.1970 - now one copy of it is correctly dated whilst the other two copies are still wrong)

I’ll try moving the files away from Boxee’s scanned folders then back again.

… And that worked, thanks!

But now both episodes are dated as 01.01.1970.

Also, the description of the series (on the info page) is outdated—talking about ‘this series will be … it is going to be written’ etc. The info that was shown before I removed and reinstated was more recent, describing the finished show.

I assume this is an issue with the database Boxee is getting its info from?

[agentlame]

well... thetvdb looks up to date:
http://www.thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=83427&lid=7

maybe this is info boxee has cached, from the first time it recognized the show... try using the 'wrong video' option.

[poprock]

Hmm, maybe.

Thanks for the pointer to thetvdb though, I’ve registered and made a few corrections to the listing.

For some odd reason Season 4 of The Office (US) shows up okay under TV however seasons 1 to 3 show up under Movies and some don't even show up at all??

what happens when you use the 'wrong video' option, and select tv show?

I have tried it and with The Office it does like what Handbone mentioned in this thread near the top. For some odd reason it cannot find WallE at all?

[agentlame]

i have mine named: WALL-E.extension
it shows up fine.

also, i believe this to be the correct title of the film:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0910970/

So I have tried naming the WALL-E and still no go?? Very odd. However I did in fact fix The Office episodes by naming the files as such;

Root Folder;

The Office (US)

Individual files;

The Office 201 - The Dundies.extension
