Step 1 - Before configuring Media Center Master to add a new TV Series to the collection, it is important for the user to know the correct name and spelling of a current airing TV Series with new episodes being shown weekly. A good place to make sure of this is to visit the EZTVShow List page.
- Begin with changing the "Filter Show List by Status:" to "Airing" with the "pull down menu" button (∨), to get the current airing TV Series.
- Pay close attention to the "Status" of the shows, "Airing: Irregularly" or "Airing:..."
- Pick a TV Series, making sure it is an "Airing:..." series.
- Highlight the complete name with the left mouse button to select it for copy and pasting into Media Center Master.
- Return to Media Center Master
Step 2 - Open the "Add a T.V. series..." window through the "Media" menu.
Step 3 - Click on the single listing, to select and highlight the "Folder to auto-scan" (TV Show Archive folder location), click "Next."
Step 4 - The name for the TV Series used in the this example, Covert Affairs, is used for demonstration purposes, only. The user should not use it for a first run testing.
- Paste the name of the chosen TV Series selected above into the "Search by title:" blank area,
- Click the "Search" button, after a few seconds, the chosen TV Series information should show in the "Selected T.V. series:" area,
- If the TV Series is listed, click the "Next" button then continue to Step 5.
- If the TV Series does not show up, go back to Step 1, pick a different show, and repeat Steps 2 and 3.
Step 5 - Assuming all of the data provided to the internet sites used for this step is up to date, there should be a "Confirm Settings:" listing showing "Status: Continuing" for the selected show.
- The check box for "Keep this series up to date with new episodes" should have a check in it.
- If the check is present, click the "Finish" button to close the "Add a T.V. Series..." window and continue to Step 6.
- If the check is not present, go back to Step 1, pick a different show, and repeat Steps 2 - 4.
Step 6 - There should now be an entry added to the "Media in your collection:"
- At the top, left, the name of the selected show with some date related to it is shown.
