Boxee Can't Identify Anything

[cmglassmire]

Anyone else having this problem? The whole reason I bought this box was to not only handle local media, but handle it elegantly. The upgrade to 1.0 hurts that enough.

Now boxee can't identify anything. Ill run the scan, it will not find a thing. Everything is unidentified. Ill go through and MANUALLY search. Say just 'Avatar'. You cant screw up that naming convention (and all my files are named correctly, im switching from Plex to boxee).

THEN it will find it no problem.

Am i understanding correctly that i have to manually identify all my movie and tv shows? Thats hundreds of files.

I ahvent seen this specific problem on a mass scale except with certain files here and there. Are you sure that the naming convention follows what Boxee recommends? If possible post a few file names (the way the file is named ie Avatar.2010.mkv) that were not found.

I always say this post as much detailed information as possible, saying it just doesnt work, doesnt give anyone enough information. With the Boxee team actively on these forums, its easier for everyone to post the details so that they can get what is exactly happening.

Thanks for the response!

Thats literally exactly how i have all my files named.

For instance, when i go to unidentified files, and select Avatar.2009.mkv, the search box just displays "avatar" like i believe its supposed to, meaning it is searching for the correct file. All i have to do is click search and boom theres avatar as the first choice.

Same with TV shows. its even 'guessing' the correct episode and season, having them automatically filled in so i just have to select done.

In a nutshell, it has everything it needs, its just not doing what its supposed to i guess.

My Boxee box has not recognized one of my movies, but the PC version got nearly all of them right, these files are the same files, named the same.

This is a very big deal to me since it is much more cumbersome to get to those movies if they have not shown up in the scrapes, and there is no way I am going through the "identify" process for each one.

Boxee identified about 250 of my 300 movies correctly and that's with the actual video files not being the exactly the correct naming convention. Although the folder the movie is in, is someting like this "Kick Ass (2010) not sure if that would do anything, most of my folders have NFO files in them....so I'm not sure if that helps either.

Most of my local media is tv shows. The only ones that were identified correctly were the sopranos. Everything else, 200+ episodes were not identified at all. I hope a fix comes out in the next few days.

From reading on here and on the AVS forums, the developers are working hard at fixing a lot of the bugs which good to see. Some software/hardware vendors take forever to get bug fixes out, so it's nice to see the DEVS actively responding to people and getting additional info in the forums.

so i rolled back to the version before 1.0 by restoring to factory defaults.

now everything is identified properly. the scanner worked just as it is supposed it. so i guess its a 1.0 thing.

if i upgrade back to 1.0, will i lose everything i just scanned in? aka will i have to rescrape or will it leave my local library intact.
