make xbmc use foldernames when scarping tvshow - scph9002 - 2013-11-26
I cant find the option to make xbmc to use foldernames instead of file names to scrape tvshows.
I got firefly/s01e01/gibberish.rar01.. rar.02 etc etc
I need xbmc to scrape the seasonnumber from the folder not the file which I suspect it tries to do because it doesnt scrape anything. All I get is an empty tvshow. Xbmc can do that for movies when content is set to movies.. but not tvshows when content is set to tvshows. Renaming the files is out of the question cause its a scene release.
Its the reavers release btw im sure alot of you have that particular release. How did you solve this issue?

The complete guide: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Video_library/Naming_files/TV_shows
See 4.3 to extract Season/Episode for out-of-ordinary naming scheme via regexp.
The regexp applies to the whole path, so you also extract from the folder name.

I just add a tvshow.nfo in every folder with just an url to thetvdb.com. That makes sure every TV-show is scraped correctly.
