I just attempted a 3rd show. My name is earl. This show was downloaded with PlayON.
I submitted a 3rd log for the My Name is Earl.
Logs have been submitted as 9592e4e2-f646-4a7b-9e90-bde47810c5f7 .
Things I will try next. I try rebooting Channels DVR. Under Local content I will "Scan Sources"
We will see if this works.
EDIT: Restarted Channels server. Rescanned sources. Nothing.
Ill try adding a movie. See if I get the same issue
The log shows each episode scanned?
Yes.
Im doing a experiment now. Im adding star trek movies. So far it looks like ChannelsDVR is recognizing them.
Next i will delete. Then add thesecsame Star Trek video files as TV and see if it inports them.
That will letvus know if its TV Show imports or if its my files
edit #1
Results of adding Star Trek movies. Imports > Movies. Then it shows in Library
Will be back with results when I import same media files on TV Shows
When I add my start trek movies to imports (TV) it wont even scan them. Maybe because it doesn't like file structure.
But when I imported My name is earl, hot in Cleveland and grounded for life. Logs show that it scanned each of them.
They probably imported under a wrong show name.
Channels DVR tries so hard to import TV Shows, sometimes they don't appear under Unmatched, but you'll find them under a mismatched show name.
I checked
Library > TV Shows > Filter=All Shows > Sort (Tried both Date Added and Date Updated)
Doesnt show up.
I also checked these to see if they are there
DVR > Manage > Shows > Sort descending
DVR > Manage > Unmatched
I have updated to latest pre-release
I have restarted Channels DVR server
I have tried Local Content > Maintenance > Scan Sources
I Just added Time Wasters, obtained from AnyStream.

On the previous attempt I added "Time Wasters" as Local Content > TV Sources.
This time I added Time Wasters as Local Content > Movies.
It now shows up under Library > Movies.
So I think there is some kind of bug with Local Content > TV Sources.

Do you see any of the TV Shows in the files json http://192.168.39.187:8089/dvr/files ?
The latest recording/import should be at the top.
What if the folder/file format for the shows you're trying to import?
Should be SHOWNAME (optionalYEAR)/Season #/S#E# EpisodeTitle
What I see at the top is My Name Is Earl. Since then I have attempted to import a Time Wasters.

It doesn't know what the show is.
You need to have the Showname/Season/Episode
My Name Is Earl/Season 4/My Name Is Earl - s04e27 - Dodge's Dad.mp4
Change your import path to /volume1/Media/Video/Television
See Channels Support - Import Your Own Movies and TV Shows
Would I need to do
/volume1/Media/Video/Television/TV
Then put all the shows I want in Channels into that directory
I already have shows pointed to exact directory with no problem
/volume1/Media/Video/Television/King Of Queens
/volume1/Media/Video/Television/Friends 1994–2004 Complete Series BDRip 720p multisub-HighCode
Both already work. So I would assume that this would work as well
/volume1/Media/Video/Television/My Name Is Ear
Yes, that would be a good way to start with a test set of shows.
You can do what you want, but if it's not in the expected import directory format, Channels DVR won't import it correctly.
You can’t import individual tv shows like that. You need to import the root tv directory containing all your shows.
If it worked at all, is the bug. But as you’ve seen, it’s not working correctly. You should remove all those imported dirs, prune, then add the root directory to import all your shows.
Ok.
So it worked before because it was a glitch and I was lucky. Ok. . .
I will make a Master Directory for the TV Shows I want channels to have access to. Its getting late. Ill update tomorow as to the success.
Update: Imports are now working.
So i put content I want in a subdirectory within my Television folder. Then pointed ChannelsDVR at the subdirectory. That seems to work.
I still prefer how it used to work for me. Where i could just point at the individual show. I know that was a bug. Not how you intended it to work. But up until recently. It worked that way. I miss the bug.
I am having problems importing tv shows. I have never seen a file appear in my DVR folder even though the log shows a successful import. Is there a lag between adding the path and actually seeing a file? Some files fail on one attempt and the same file is successful on another. Seems to be no rhyme or reason. What does exit status 1 mean?
