TV Shows Not Showing on 'TV Shows'

  • Have downloaded a 4-episode TV mini-series. Attempting to add to my 'TV Shows' tab. Files are labeled 'showname' S01E0X, X=1-4). Attempting to follow instructions to add these episodes to my 'TV Shows' Library - unsuccessful. Video>file>Add file does not list my attached USB SSD. However, Video>file>Seagate...>TV Shows shows my files. Source content is set to 'TV Shows'. Meta data is set to 'Local only'. I have a .nfo. Yet when I attempt to add the files to the source, I seem to be stuck in a loop, and Files are not moved to my 'TV Shows' tab. What am I missing?

    Libelec 11.0.6

    Kodi 20.3

    Thanks,

  • OK, this has been partially resolved (not exactly sure how). So I wish to alter my question a bit. I'm using Aeon Nox Silvo. Have 'Movie' and 'TV Shows' sources built. When I select 'Movie', movies are displayed in 'showcase' format (as desired). However, when I select 'TV Shows', I am led through a series of submenus to locate the files. Once the files are located, they are displayed in 'showcase' (as desired). Is there a way to have 'TV Shows' display files in 'showcase' without the intermediate submenus? (that is just like 'Movies')?

  • Settings > Media > Videos > Library > Flatten TV show seasons > Always .. and disabling "Show All Items" will reduce the number of navigation levels, and you need to set the viewtype to what you prefer at each navigation level. TV Shows has more potential levels due to the concepts of Seasons/Series and Specials, etc.
