After that you can use 'Fetch Metadata' to process the left over files.
For TV Shows I can only recommend to make sure that you only put folders with exact TV Show names in your TV Shows folders, and put your episodes in those folders.
Another method might be to put a 'tvshow.nfo' or 'movie.nfo' / '<moviename>.nfo' file with just the IMDb ID inside it into the correct folders, I think ViMM is able to pick up on that and use it to search for the correct items, and it probably wouldn't be as quick as make sure the movie/tv show folders are as accurately named as possible.
Thanks for that.
I've got the folder rename option turned on and (as much as possible) try to make sure the folders are named properly and that process works fine for any of my newer rips/downloads.
But right now I'm incorporating older videos I have had for a while into my existing media folders, so renaming the folders is not really going to save me much time (not to mention all the files are located on my NAS and the manual renaming process is even slower because of that).
