Hi, I uploaded all my tv show files to a video source and when doing so I set this directory to the TV-Show option; but when I go the TV-Show library on the main menu it says that the TV-show library is empty. I'm confused on how to populate the library with my tv show files that I've added, everything I've read confuses me.

Please have a read of the Library setup Guide...
https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Create_Video_Library
It sounds like you are up to Add Sources & Scrape, but I strongly urge you to read the naming section first to ensure your TV Show folder and episode files are correctly named, or else your library will still remain empty.
Make an attempt to follow the guide and let us know where you get stuck.
This is not the way to create video sources:
Don't create an entry for each season of each TV shows.
Simply keep one entry that refers to the overall TV Shows folder.
That it.
No need to create a Source for each Season.
Create your source on c:\Users\Leo\Videos\TV Shows Then Kodi will look for everything in \TV Shows\. Your naming seems good, so should work.

Okay that makes sense, um I do have a problem I get everything but the files are not populated in the show directory:

worked perfectly for the movies, is it because I have the season in separate folders? or is it a naming problem?
From what I can see in your image, it worked. I can see Xena, Star Trek, Family Guy. Your Studio's on the 3rd row are available, same with Genre's on second row.
Click on TV Shows in the left menu to enter the TV Show listing. Can you see all your TV Shows? If you click on one, do you see Seasons and then Episodes?
Maybe a bit more information on what is missing.
Also to upload an image follow below
If the image is on your computer, then use button 19.
If the image has already been uploaded to a public image hosting site, right click the image and select
Copy image location then use button 14 and paste the link

Sorry, So apparently shows aren't scrapping, for instance the orville won't scrap, its in the database.

Yes, that would never work. You have not named the episodes correctly.
Please read the guide that I linked in my first post. It will explain episode naming.
If you believe you have named them correctly, then you are not giving me all the information. Give me a screenshot of you tv show folder so I can see your episodes. Don't use photobucket to upload images. Use Button 19 method.
