Full Version: Adding a tv show from an add on to the library

I cannot figure out how to get a show into my library when I find the show in an add on. For example, the free add on by Bravo has shows I would like to appear in my video library but nothing I have tried makes them appear. I am able to see the shows under favorites if I make it a favorite.

I'm using Android TV. Is there any way to do this?
I could be wrong but I think video library is only scraping local content.
Yes, local content definitely works. But apparently there is some way to do this with internet streams according to the wiki -

I just can't figure out how to do it.

It's done this way...

And I guess you can associate fanart & .nfo meta-data as a library item, have never tried myself. As far as scraping, you would need some sort of dummy video file for Kodi to be able to scrape, and the scraper would have to see a listing in some data base of the selected scraper and I doubt that existd for radio, TV &Movies maybe, but I suggest you might be crossing some sort of line with items in the Official:Forum rules/Banned add-ons (wiki)
