I have just started adding TV shows that I have on my PC after adding my movie collection. It has taken some time to work out how to add as it seems that unlike adding a single movie a series is different. I am now adding the series using IMDB TV script then directing the episodes to the relevant file for each episode via (episode panel) read file codec function, however despite successfully adding the episodes I get no play button either in the HTML page or main interface. Is this normal? Is there no way to get a play button for each individual episode, or am I adding the series incorrectly and this causing the problem? My HTML card is movie_bigcover.htm
The fields are available for each episode's media file. But I don't know if the variable is passed to the card. As the description says for the movie card there is a variable MOVIE_FILE. For the episodes I can't find such. But maybe the episode card can use the same variable (as said: if it is passed to it).
*EDIT* I just have asked Prinz as he is better informed about such things. This function is yet not implemented for episodes. TV Shows in general are more a construction area as all their functions are added much later.

This is just a work-around for not having the button. I add the episode to the "add/edit episode card" under "files". Then you can click "TV Show Database" under TreeView Navigation. From there you can right click the episodes and choose "play movie".
