Boxee won't identify video

[Denny]

I've been downloading various TV shows to my ATV via TED & uTorrent. It generally works just fine for playback thru Boxee. But Boxee refuses to identify one show - Shipping Wars (A&E). I checked and it's listed in IMDB but Boxee won't even manually identify it.

I can go into the files and play the episodes, but I'd really prefer to be able to do it thru the "My TV Shows" listing.

Have you tried to rename it ? Also, I wonder if 1.5 would do a better job scraping ?

Having a bit of trouble with my putty interface, so I can't try re-naming them now.

But the episode names seem to follow the convention (Shipping.Wars.S01E01.blahblahblah.avi) and Boxee has no trouble with any other TV shows whose names follow the same convention (American.Horror.Story.S01E01.blahblahblah.avi). So, I don't think that the file name is the problem. Also, I can go into "unidentified videos" and play the episodes directly from there. So the files aren't corrupted.

Could it be that Boxee simply can't see "Shipping Wars" in IMDB for some reason? Are there any other TV shows that have the same problem?

BTW, I thought that 1.5 was non-functional on 1st generation AppleTVs.

Could be an IMDB issue. I know some shows seem to create an issue (I have read the occassional post about shows not scraping, but I cant remember off hand). You are correct about 1.5 on ATV. I was thinking Mac.

Any luck doing this thru XBMC eden beta 2 ?
