This has come up here before, because of TheTVDB's silly way of sortings things. I figured I'd solve my probelm with NFOs rather than rename and reorganize my files (I don't always watch them via XBMC) ...if at all possible. That problem being, the mini-series "Spartacus: Gods of the Arena" appearing under Specials for "Spartacus" when scrapped. I'd like it to appear as its own show, but I would like to scrape the individual episodes so that the plot details, episode image, actors, etc are automatically pulled
Here is my current tvshow.nfo:
and here is a current filename.nfo for one of the episodes:
Currently the above NFOs put all the episodes under the new series correctly, and place them in Season 1, but under the seasons, there's no data. Each episode is listed as just a number, eg "01, 02, 03, and so on". No title or details otherwise. I was hoping the <uniqueid> would somehow scrape the episode information, but alas, it does not. Is there any way to link a filename.nfo to a particular episode, either via an ID or a URL?
Here is my current tvshow.nfo:
Code:
<tvshow>
<title>Spartacus: Gods of the Arena</title>
<plot>The House of Batiatus is on the rise, basking in the glow of its infamous champion Gannicus, whose skill with a sword is matched only by his thirst for wine and women. These are the times a young Batiatus has been waiting for. Poised to overthrow his father and take control, he’ll freely betray anyone to ensure his gladiators are in the highest demand. And he’ll have his loyal and calculating wife Lucretia by his side for every underhanded scheme, drawing on the brazen talents of her seductive friend Gaia when it counts. Together, they will stop at nothing to deceive the masses, seize power, and bleed Capua dry in this audacious prequel to Spartacus: Blood and Sand.</plot>
