I started using this program last week and I love it so far. It did a much better job at picking up my TV shows the XBMC scrapper. 41 shows picked up vs 29 from XBMC. However, this is still not all of them. I have 48 different series total.
The biggest issue I'm having shows not showing up at all. Part of it was that the show folders may not have been named properly. I got better results after removing the years from the folder names or removing any extra text. However some folders are still missing, simply because, it doesn't recognize Something, whether it be folder name or file name. The folder is within the set 'root' folder. I would like to be able to select a folder/files, even when MC doesn't recognize them, so I can enter/choose the TVDB/IMDB profile that 'I' know its associated with. For example, I have the Japanese and English versions of Yu-Gi-Oh. Each in their own folders. TVDB picked up the English version right away and everything looks good. But TVDB doesn't have a listing for the Japanese version, so the folder doesn't display At All. But I know IMDB has a proper listing of these. But I don't have the ability to tell MC otherwise, because the Japanese folder doesn't display.
It would be great if there was the ability to pick a file/folder and have it create a .nfo file and have it scrape based on the file names based on a IMDB or TVDB profile number. For instance, I also have the complete Road Runner cartoon collection in a folder. Now technically these are movies and are individual, not part of a series. but for organization purposes, I want them in a folder together. But without them separated properly the scraper won't recognize them and most importantly, won't show up. It would take some effort, but I would like to be able to click each file and then type in the associated profile # and then MC would simply associate and create a .nfo file based on what I tell it.
I only just built a HTPC and started using XBMC, so at the moment I have no knowledge on how to create a .nfo file. I've seen the template and instructions, and am willing to give it a try if needed, but figured I'd ask here first if its currently possible to do what I'm trying to accomplish with MC.
Thanks for any help. This program is great.
