How to Add a New TV Series

Step 14 - 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 15 - Open the "Add a T.V. series..." window through the "Media" menu.

Step 16 - Click on the single listing, to select and highlight the "Folder to auto-scan" (TV Show Archive folder location), click "Next."

Step 17 - 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 18.
• If the TV Series does not show up, go back to Step 14, pick a different show, and repeat Steps 15 and 16.

Step 18 - 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 19.
• If the check is not present, go back to Step 14, pick a different show, and repeat Steps 15 - 17.

Step 19 - 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.
• In the middle, right, the log shows the processes of what Media Center Master did, during the adding of the new TV Series.
• At the bottom, right, there is a graphic representation of the data fetched by Media Center Master for the new TV Series.
