Compatibility with XBMC NFO files generated bv MCM

Media Center Master (MCM) is a common metatdata media library manager.

When MCM generates the XBMC NFO metadata files for individual tv episodes it inserts the following tags at the start and end of the files:

  Code:

<xbmc_compatible_nfo xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
</xbmc_compatible_nfo>


The inclusion of these tags in the XMBC metadata file prevents serviio from detecting the associated media file as being a TV series as confirmed in this thread.

Manually removing the headers is a pain, particularly given the frequency with which the content of most media libraries grows.

As MCM is a widely used metadata manager, I would like to see serviio ignore these additional tags and recognise these files as a TV series automatically.

I am running 1.0.1 and this doesn't seem to be fixed for me... (the ticket was resolved on 15th May 2012)

I have just come across this thread as I have been fighting the same issue for a while and couldn't find a solution - manually removing the </xbmc_compatible_nfo> parts fixes the problem as expected, but Serviio still cant read the MCM .nfo file correctly as the ticket indicates.

Is this still a problem, or am I missing something?

Thanks

same for me, the ticket seems not to be solved or at least the error is still there

Oh, I thought I fixed it. Can you reopen the ticket and mark it for 1.1? Also attach your nfo file there.

I have Re-opened and attached .nfo file created by Media Center Master as requested. Sorry but I couldn't mark it for version 1.1...

I looked at this and it should indeed be fixed. What error exactly are you getting? Can you post the log?

Btw, the attachment to the ticket is missing title and other important fields.

[hansj]

The error is simply that the TV-Series folders are empty.
When you remove the xbmc stuff, the series will show in serviio.
The log does not show anything, when using the default logging options.
I still have to change the errorlevel and hopefully get something meaningful.

Cheers,

ok, it seems there is no error generated. I simulated a new episode and this is the debug log:

Of course, the series is not visible using dlna...

Hope this helps,

Do you have an eta for 1.1?

Or where can I find such info?

Thanks,
