For example I have a SD Copy of a TV series and HD copy of TV series, I would like both top appear under my TV section. At the moment only the SD one appears, even when I go to the HD version under files and force it to scrap, it gets the data but it dosnt appear under the TV tab.
Another issue is forcing items that are not technically tv series but I would like them to appear there, such as instructional series. At most I would like to add cover pic for it or even default is fine.

Simple way was to put both in the same folder.
Unfortunately it will only scan first 4 episodes of the HD versions. I rescanned, removed and added back the folder a dozen times, renamed the files, tried using a nfo for it scrap from. Frustrating.
Edit
Actually putting them same folder dosnt work, all it does is rename them, 'making off, 'extras'.
I wish I could just manually tell it I want it to appear under 'TV' and use this cover etc, instead of being forced to use scrappers that are not 100%.

Out of interest, what are the TV shows that are not scrapping? What scrapper are you using?

Been using TVDB and Epguides as scrappers.
Ape That Took Over The World - Doco
Story Of Human Evolution - Doco
Secrets of Chute Boxe - Instructional dvd series
Plinkett Reviews - Online movie reviews series
(Off the top of my head, there are some other docos and such)
Also have a very large collection on MMA, it is pretty well organised collection, structured nicely with folders, naming conventions, etc.
that I would like to display but just a massive amount of work to get them in libraries with xbmc. No way I can manually rename all of it to suit xbmc tv naming convention and create nfo for every file, it would take me months and scrappers dont handle such a collection well if at all.
I dont think it should be this hard to get custom tv series, etc added to a library. At least an option to bypass scrapper, add folder name as series and files as episodes?
