First of all, fantastic work with ATV Flash Black, it's like christmas all over again if i turn my apple tv on^^
But i noticed a few strange things when accessing my mac through the media player.
For example, the tv show Nip/Tuck - that's the correct name of the show, but when viewed by the Media Player the name of the show changes to "Tuck" and i can't spot my files.
Of course, if i rename it to "Nip Tuck" everything excepts the Metadata works perfectly. Is there a simple trick to enjoy the series and the metadata, or did i just stumble onto something interesting?
Media player uses thetvdb to scrape the tv show metadata and names. the ‘/’ character isn’t really recognized, and on thetvdb the correct naming convention for nip tuck is ‘Nip Tuck’.
Rename your folder/files to this and it’l work fine.
Was just curious, cause on the cover and also on Imdb it’s called Nip/tuck, but sure it makes sense when TVDB refers it as “Nip Tuck”.
But although it’s the correct folder name, the metadata won’t load - and that’s a fact for many series in my collection. For example Plex synchronizes with TVDB too, but finds everything. Why is that so?
Course, the Media Player is far more smooth and elegant, but on the metadata part there are downsides.
