How to make it recognise my Tv Shows/Movies

**davidw89** · April 30th, 2009, 08:46 AM

ALl my Tv Shows are like this:

D:\<name>.avi etc
or if tv shows
D:\<show name>\<season>\episode.avi etc

Anyhow i've added both my movie and my tv show as my local source but boxee won't recognise the content unless i click on every single show/movie individually (takes too long).
Does anyone know what i can do? I know in XBMC you can just set the content and it will find the files info why isn't this supported in boxee?

My movies are mostly like this, say if it was called The Wizard of Oz, it would be in this format "The Wizard of Oz.avi"

TV Shows are in the standard "Heroes.s0x.e0x.avi" etc

My advice is to use Name Mangler to change them to a standard format, like
"Simpsons.s04e05.avi"
