I love this utility and have been using it for awhile now, however there is one quirk I haven't been able to resolve.
I have XMBC setup to scan both the "Episodes" directory and the "Showings" directory into the library. Occasionally a show will end up with episodes in both locations when a particular episode doesn't find a match. In that case I end up with something like "E:\Episodes\NCIS" and "E:\Showings\NCIS". When this happens, mythical librarian writes a .nfo file to the "E:\Showings\NCIS" directory, but not the "E:\Episodes\NCIS"
Files from both directories appear in the library, however in cover flow view I get 2 entries for NCIS one with meta data and a thumbnail image and one without. I am assuming that this is because when XBMC encounters the local .nfo file in the Showings directory it does not attempt to scrape the show based on the folder name like it does for the one in the recordings folder.
I'm not sure of the best way to resolve this, but I believe removing the NFO files from the Showings directory and letting XBMC scrape based on the folder name is the easiest approach (if anyone has other suggestions just let me know).
Is there a way to tell mythical librarian not to write the .nfo files?
