Like the title reads... Boxee wont pick up my tv shows anymore. They were all recognized at one point, then i decided to delete a season from one of the shows and re launch boxee. When i did this i noticed everything was messed up. I had all my tv shows but no movies. I had to manually start recognizing them.

This would take too long and I thought it might be best if I started with a fresh DB. So i backed up some keymap settings and deleted my .boxee folder. Now all the show directories are still the same...

~/Videos/movies & ~/Videos/tv shows

So I relaunched boxee knowing that it defaults the local video folder to ~/Videos. I left it running while I went out for an hour. I came back and all the movies had been detected but no TV shows.

If I try to manually recognize them I get the list from the search boxee does and I select the appropriate show title. The loading icon spins then stops and Im left still at the list. Nothing happens. I go back to the main screen and no new media was added.

So I'm getting a little frustrated because there is no way for me to check boxee's current scrap status. This would be nice because if boxee is getting hung up on a particular show I might be able to do something about it. But I have no idea what its doing.

I've deleted the .boxee dir and started over twice. still the same issue. I have a lot of TV that boxee previously (this latest build) had no issue detecting before.

Can anyone help?

After you said posted that last comment it recognized 3 series, then stopped. I can't manually check anything anymore and its not picking up the rest. I checked that site, www.thetvdb.com, and its up... what gives?

http://www.thetvdb.com (a.k.a. TheTVDB / TVDB) (http://www.thetvdb.com) website that Boxee (and XBMC) uses have been having some problems that last couple of days because they moved to a new server and thhe DNS records are giving them problems.

Just wait and this will fix itself, ...as it is not caused by a bug in Boxee/XBMC.
