I have just installed Serviio in my PC, I set up under Video (my Movies & TV-Series) folder, the Movie part shows all my movies ok, but for TV-Series it only display 2/29

Touch (2012) and continuum, and as I have 2 Continuum series, sae name same year, serviio grabs info from one serie but play the others videos file, there is any way to fix this?

I have my files organized:
<Serie name> (<year>)/Season <Season numer>/<Serie name>.S<Season numer>E<Episode numer>.<Episode original tittle>.<ext>

Image

I had to orgainized like this because the 2 Continuum TV series. but it is the standar serie naming I think.

It looks like the online DB (thetvdb.com) didn't return any results for most of your episodes, that's why it doesn't appear in the Series category. Might be the service was down at that point. Try to Refresh video metadata in the fonsole (metadata tab).

still the same, I don't know what is going on here

touch and Continuum, but in continuum it fix the 2 series, it show the info from Continuum (2012) but it grabs the video files from this Continuum

and all the other 27 series it doesn't even recognised 'em at all...
I don't know what else to do, I delete all, re done all again but nothing new was shown...

Ok, I know what's happening. When the year is provided, TheTVDB.com only returns any results when the series name actually includes the year, e.g. Touch (2012): http://thetvdb.com/?string=touch&search ... ion=Search

It won't return any results if we search for Game Of Thrones (2011), but will return results when searched for only Game Of Thrones. So if you want this to work, you should only use year in the folder's name if there are more series with the same name and some are distinguished by year in the name.

Other option is to use XBMC metadata instead of online, that way you can keep your folder names, but you'll have to spend some time creating the metadata yourself.
