[Fixed in v7.0] TV episode playback

[Pauven]

I just emailed you.

Wow that was painful. For awhile there I didn't think Gmail was going to upload the attachment, but it has now been sent.

I reviewed the CMC_MovieDB.xml file you sent, and found exactly what I expected. For the episodes having playback issues, the location is blank in the DB.

For example, here's S1E1:
<E ID="565b6fa4-4981-4515-983c-77773ce1cae1" Ctry="United States" FA="4/26/2017 12:00:00 AM" N="S01-E001: Offred" R="7.9" RT="57m19s" RTS="3439" W="True" WCMC="False" MPLS="" Title="31" Chapter="" L="" C="ctUnknown" A="1" E="1" S="1">

And here's S1E2:
<E ID="58337d7c-3b77-42d1-a86f-3171be11fe50" Ctry="United States" FA="4/26/2017 12:00:00 AM" N="S01-E002: Birth Day" R="8.1" RT="" RTS="0" W="True" WCMC="False" MPLS="" Title="" Chapter="" L="\\LARRY\Video\TV Series\Handmaid's Tale, The\The Handmaid's Tale - S01E02 - Birth Day.mkv" C="ctMKV" A="2" E="2" S="1">

The pattern I'm seeing is that the good episodes don't have the Title # populated, and have the filepath. The bad ones are the opposite.

You're using CCC, correct?

If so, I believe the problem is upstream in CCC. I'm not quite sure why it would only affect the first episode per disc, though.

Also, just to be thorough, can you post one more screenshot, of S1E2 mapped on the disc? You showed S1E1, but not any others. I'm sure it's mapped like you said, but a quick double-check won't hurt.

Yes sir, using CCC. All discs are properly mapped. I'm that weird sort of animal that doublechecks what comes down from the webservice when I get a new title.

Feel free to take your time with this. While testing CMC I've also been troubleshooting the issues I was having with WMC and got them sorted out so I'm not without my HTPC. And while I'm not sure CMC will meet my needs in the long run as well as WMC does, I'd still like to test it more.

Don't hesitate to let me know where CMC comes up short.

[Pauven]

Wow, that was a really hard bug to find. Turns out it was hidden in a sort subroutine, and it was copying disc data on top of TV series data. In this case, the disc data didn't have the episode path, so copying it over ended up blowing away the TV series episode path.

I'm not quite sure why it only affected some episodes - seems like it should have blown away all episodes. Regardless, it's now fixed for the next version.

The next version is still in development, with planned beta's to start in August, and final release likely in October.

[Bairman]

Thank you good sir. I'll be patiently awaiting the next release for continued testing. With My Movies deprecating the WMC plugin soon, I imagine CMC's user base will increase in the near future.

[Pauven]

Good point. Motivation for me to make this next version really good and bug free. Not sure I can handle a large influx of support requests.
