The wiki says NFO files can be used instead of scraping.

Quote:By default at the time of scanning, if the media folder contains a correctly named *.nfo file, then XBMC will load the *.nfo file and attempt to either, in the case of it containing XML data get the meta-data directly from the nfo file or will parse it for a direct URL to the scraper info page. This allows XBMC to skip it's normal lookup and/or search procedures, useful if a file's information is not available on any of the scraper sites, or if the file-matching criteria fails for the particular file.
I've created an NFO file for a .strm and I've tried many different formats. The NFOs are not getting into the library unless the show title can be scraped.

meh.. I'm done reporting bugs. I've got too many unanswered threads with debug logs.
