thanks for reading my post.

i've used xbmc for 3 or 4 years but it is only recently that i have used the tv content and scrapers.

i have been taking things one folder at a time and i have 8 folders/ tv series working correctly.

i have an advancedsettings.xml on all my computers so i use the same database - this works
and i added

<tvshowmatching action="prepend">
<regexp>Season ([0-9]+) - Episode ([0-9]+)([^\\/]*)$</regexp>
</tvshowmatching>
<tvshowmatching action="prepend">
<regexp>Series ([0-9]+) - Episode ([0-9]+)([^\\/]*)$</regexp>
</tvshowmatching>

i am originally from the uk and i like my uk tv series to have the format - Home To Roost - Series 1 - Episode 1

and the us seasons to have the format - Cheers - Season 1 - Episode 5

the addition i made allows xbmc to scrape both my uk and tv episodes.

i now have a problem with my 9th folder/tv series - Porride Series 2 - i ripped the original dvd to i know what the episode order should be but http://thetvdb.com/ has a differnet broadcast order.
in xbmc episodes 1,2,3 and 6 are all correct - the correct order and the correct title.

in xbmc episodes 4 and 5 are in the correct order but it displays the wrong title

Episode 4 displays No Peace for the wicked but is Happy Release

Episode 5 displays Happy Release but is No Peace For The Wicked

i think the solution is nfo files - i did get one working for a movie but no luck with the tv episodes

can anybody help me

thank you

okay - i've worked out the problem

i downloaded a program called Basic NFO Creator and it created an nfo file that worked. my problem was on this page - http://kodi.wiki/view/NFO_files/tvshows
it said to use <tvshow> and </tvshow> etc

my successful nfo files didn't have any <tvshow> but did have <episodedetails> . i don't know if the problem was me looking at the wrong thing? tv shows instead of episodes? or out of date wiki page?
