NOTE: I wasnt sure where to post this so I made it in the scrapper section and linked it here. please let me know if this was wrong.

thanks to all.
1) there is no scrapper section
2) this is the correct forum
3) for the love of god don't cross post, and in particular don't post a post about your other posts!
I am in a similar situation. Dotted around my network are the odd season that is in DVD order. I have tvshow.nfo for every show but i really dont want to define a scraper for random single seasons.

Is there any permanent on disk method such as an nfo entry that will tell XBMC that a specific season is dvd order?
-In "Set Content" change the scraper settings to "Use DVD Order"
-Navigate to the show(s) that are affected by this problem
-press I to bring up the show's info page
-Click Refresh
-Say "yes" to refresh info for all episodes
-Check to see that the info is now correct
-Export your video library to separate files (Settings>Video>Library)

Now you will have NFO files for that show with the correct info, which means it should always be correct regardless of the "Use DVD Order" setting in the scraper.
Thats definately one option. However I am not a fan of permanent nfo info. I often refersh shows to find all sorts of updated episode and series information.

I was hoping for somehting more elegant such as:

sd01e01 = dvd order for season 1 episode 1

or

season.nfo = use dvd order

Also i have to be very careful with messing with my global scaper settings as I have over 1000 shows that I could mess up.
