Hi,
After getting everything organised via tvdb, I'm left with one bunch of shows that I'm not happy with. I have all the old Dr Who stuff, but they will only list it as seasons with episode (eg) 1-42. Each season contains a few stories of say 4-8 episodes, and ideally the way I want to display my Dr Who's is so that each story (set of 4-8 vids) will be its own thing with a dvd artwork.
So, I'm thinking to rename all my episodes as per tvdb for now, just so I can scrape them, then change the numbering and nfo files to suite my tastes.
Only trouble is... I can't quite get my head around how things need to be. I think the trouble is that I need Season/Story/episode (ie 01x01x01) and I presume that's not supported by xbmc or any media centre type software. Am I correct in thinking the best I'll be able to do is call each "story" a season, so end up with something like 150-200 seasons instead of around 20 seasons each with a bunch of stories and their episodes? I just really want the dvd artworks to show up and for there to be a clear distinction between stories![Smile]( "Smile")
.
Already checked the tvdb article on custom NFo files, should be able to manage adapting or creating as necessary.
What do others do with stuff like this (ie series/story/episode). Maybe someones already done Dr Who like this?
