Okay I'll try to keep this simple...I have custom videos (repeat custom videos, MY videos not DVD rips or Tivo recordings) that I want to add to my video library as TV shows. Again, these are not recordings or rips so this is not a question on how to get a scraper to work. My first thought was to export the library using some Tivo recordings and edit the nfo files that are created. I did this but the strangest thing is that it worked for 2 of the 4 folders. I then exported the library (again), reinstalled XBMC and reconnected to the source and now NONE of them work. What gives?
Folder structure (all four folders)
Show Name (folder)--
Show Name S01E01 - Show Title.mp4 (file)
Show Name S01E01 - Show Title.nfo (file)
Show Name S01E02 - Show Title.mp4 (file)
Show Name S01E02 - Show Title.nfo (file)
...repeat for all files
tvshow.nfo (file)
I then tried Ember to create nfo files...Same result
Videos are accessible only via the "Files" menu
AGAIN..I see ALOT of info on how to get tv shows to scrape...Not applicable, these are private videos in tv episode type format...I need the low down on why the nfo's are not registering.
