Television Libraries

Post by Madness » Fri Jun 21, 2013 9:23 pm

I need help please, I have tried everything I can think of.

I have thousands of movies and TV series on DVD and has taken me months with none stop ripping to get them onto my HDD using 3 4TB Discs. I can get the app to recognise the movies no problem, I just cant get it to recognise my TV Series. When I go to my media center configuration, I have laid the structure/Tree of the folders as required for the TV series and go to Library then Television, it seems to have a mask over it saying coming soon. I have a massive about of TV series can you HELP! me get this working please :)

TV series are not supported natively by the movie library. You can use a 3rd party plugin to get a 'TV Library'. My choice is TV Library by Jack Luminous: http://www.thegreenbutton.tv/forums/vie ... f=9&t=1822

Thanks for the reply, would you happen to know when the TV area would be up and running? Like how far away is it?

There will be none in native Media Center; unless Microsoft adds it in the future. A third-party plugin is your only solution.

????
The Movie Gallery in WMC will NEVER have native support for TV series. The suggestion is to use a 3rd party addin, such as 'TV Library'.

You are in a Windows Media Center forum WMC. If I am reading you correctly, your question is about the Ceton My Media Center MMC. Try this same question here http://www.thegreenbutton.tv/forums/viewforum.php?f=63If I am not reading you correctly just disregard.

I think he's in the right place. I think he's talking about the TV support within MMC app. I have been waiting for the TV library support for some time as well. There is a placeholder in the MMC configuration PC client that says it's a future feature, but no ETA.

I asked the question last year and was told that there was no ETA. I wouldn't hold your breath.

FYI - I have been using the WMC plugin 'Media Browser' to handle all my libraries... it doesn't bring them up on your remote device like the MMC solution would though...

Makes sense, I thought you were all smoking crack.
