Does it work with the schedule? I can't reproduce the error here, it works fine. Maybe the firewall is blocking it?

MPC freezes? or the updater, then in MPC you pick a file? that's really weird

I could update fine in 1.00, but in the beta I can't. My firewall already has it set to allow it full access to the internet through my computer.

what OS?

Windows XP Media Center Edition, SP2

does it happen with any anime or only a specific one?

At first I thought it was only one, Bleach, but I tried with Clannad as well and the same thing happened.

im using the new beta but im getting my previous problem of it not updating just flashing up the notice on and off whilst i watch "hatenkou yuugi #5", it updated kanon just before fine.

can you paste the entire filename?

ive sorted it, there was a miss spelling in the file name

This is probably a big bug, and untill not it happened for:
[ANBU_AonE]_Naruto_108_[95AEED31]

I recently started downloading to keep all of Naruto, watching them as i go!
I am now watching the above file and it said it was updating Naruto Shippudden 108!!!

I will post if the other episodes of Naruto start updating Shippudden instead!

P.S. i have finished Naruto, maybe that has something to do with it also

EDIT: Yes, apparently the other ones are geting updated as well...
I am watching Naruto 109, Shippudden is getting updated...

Maybe it has something to do with Naruto on my completed list that bypasses it, and Shippudden that has unknown episode total!

EDIT 2: If i click on it to stop updating, it stops, but the Status still says that it will update Shippuden 109 in 5 min!

EDIT 3 I found out that if i leave it alone, Shippudden will not get updated, no mater what the status sais. I will have to manually click update otherwise it says updating in 5 min forever...

Yea, when I'm going to pick a file MPC freezes up. The updater was alright.

This happens because the normal Naruto is not in your currently watching list. Since there is no standard in the way subbers name the files, the program has to try a few ways to determine if the file is a match in your list; sometimes it's a complete match (after a through cleanup of the name), sometimes it's a partial match. In this case the partial match algorythms determine you are most probably watching Naruto Shippuden, since a very close match is found in your current list (this happens only after a normal match fails). (Alternate names are also checked)

The outcome is mostly beneficial: many more titles are recognized properly, at the expense that if you watch something NOT in your list, it might be confused with something that is (you are suposed to be using the updater for the currently watching anime).

The name staying as "updating" however is a different issue, I will check this up. (Note that status messages have a changing span of 0-10 seconds).

About edit3: once you click stop, it will not update that anime/ep at all until you watch something else or any updates take place.

Thanks for your feedback :)

Hmm that has nothing to do with the updater though, it doesn't interact with it all (the updater uses a few system libraries but never interacts directly with MPC)

Oh, then I guess my computer just sucks or something? XD

Im watching now Samurai Deeper Kyo but I got "media not found in yout list", I have SDK on currently watching list so the problem is files name, right? Files name is samurai-deeper-kyo10.rmvb

1. So the name has to match exactly? Lately my updates don't seem to be happening even if I watch 90% of the episode with a delay of 10 minutes.
When do the updates take place--immediately after the delay, or after I stop watching the episode as long as I watched it for at least 10 minutes?
2. I just started watching Kirepapa which has Unknown for # of episodes on the anime page, and I've watched 1 episode, but my MAL Updater window shows I've watched 1/11. (Manga shows 2 volumes total)

The name has to match at least partially. For the filename is the only way to recognize what anime it is. The updates take place immediately after the timer/delay is over. Or after 0-10 seconds into watching when you disable the delay.

For shows with an unknown number of total episodes, the total shown by the Updater is currently watched episodes plus 10.

that filename is really bad, it should have at least some sepparation from the name and episode

can you tell me the sub group? (did you rename the original files?)

Please tell me the complete filename of an anime that fails to update so I can check
