MrMC

Hello,

I have mrmc running on two apple Tvs 4 without a problem.
But I accendately pressed the wrong button, when i switched through the drop down menu of a TV show and I deleted it.
It is still on my NAS, but if I choose "scan library" or "delete source" and choose it again, the show is still not showing up.
Any ideas how to get it back in the TV Show folder?

thanks a lot!

Go to your media sources, find the source tv show is in, highlight tvshow folder, long hold select to bring context menu and choose scan for changes(or something like that)

I selected „media sources“ on Home Screen and select the folder the tv show is in. Then I press until the Dropdown-Menü menu appears and select „search for new files” (I have the german version which says “neue Inhalte suchen”)
But that won’t help.

As a workaround you could rename the tv-show folder and add the starting year as : Tvshowname (year). Scan Will pick it up as new.

So
Castle -> castle (2009)

But it’s a workaround.

Hi,
Thank you very much. I just tried this and it’s not working. After I scanned for new videos, I see it scanning the new Tv folder,that I named with the year in brackets, for 2 minutes until it reaches 100%, but it still won’t show up.

That’s odd. I am using nfs shares and renaming the “not scannable” folder usually does the trick.

- what show are you trying to add ?
- Is the info present on the Tvdb ?
- Do you have custom tv-show and episode nfo files inside the folder ?

Can you go to the folder through media sources:
- please check : change content, is it a tv-show, is the Tvdb / tmdb selected ?
- check of : folder contains a single tv-show
- and then scan the folder for new content

Are you sure scraping works at all? Did you try to scrape for new contents from both ATVs?

I would try to scrape one specific movie (the particular movie does not have to be on your NAS folder just a file .mkv according to the naming conventions) AND to provide the name of the TV series here - so someone else here can try to scrape for it.

I am also using nfs share and besides this, I have no problems at all.
The show is called Derrick and it is on TVDB. I have two Apple TVs 4 and the show is listed properly on the other Apple TV in Mrmc. I used to have this show listed on both Apple TV’s. But one day I pushed the wrong button (I can can not recall which, but I guess it was „delete this entry“) and it was gone.

I have no nfo files in the folder.
I did everything you mentioned, but it did not work.

Yes I did and yesterday I added new movies and they appeared in the movie folder without any issues.

BUT today I looked through the “Derrick” folder and I saw some wrong file names. Like a missing letter or there were two points next to each other. I corrected this on my nas (in total 6 files) just because I saw it and wanted to clean things out. Then I rescanned my library in Mrmc and suddenly those 6 episodes appear! Now I will try this with the next 270 episodes

Good to know you got it solved
