Add a folder.jpg and fanart.jpg if you like things to look nice.
Create a file called tvshow.nfo and place it in your home video's folder. Copy and paste this code, then edit it to your liking.
<tvshow>
<title>Home Videos</title>
<rating>9.900</rating>
<season>1</season>
<displayseason>1</displayseason>
<displayepisode>1</displayepisode>
<plot>Our home movies</plot>
<genre></genre>
<premiered></premiered>
<studio></studio>
</tvshow>
Now rename all your video files in this folder with the prefix S0XE0X, so your files should look like S01E01 Our Trip to The Beach.avi
Now create a nfo file for each episode, naming each nfo file the same as the episode:
S01E01 Our Trip to The Beach.avi
S01E01 Our Trip to The Beach.nfo
Inside each episode .nfo file, paste this code and edit it as you wish
<episodedetails>
<title>Our Trip to The Beach</title>
<season>1</season>
<episode>1</episode>
<aired>2010-01-01</aired>
<plot>Our trip to the beach.</plot>
</episodedetails>
There are some nfo maker programs out there, but I haven't found any that weren't terrible (although they may exist). I keep it simple and use notepad. It seems like alot of work, but honestly it's not. If you have 100 files, you can finish in a hour.
