I must be blind - but I don't see Spartacus Gods of the Arena on thetvdb.com...
I see Blood and Sand and Vengeance.
Am I missing it some where on thetvdb, or do I need to use another scraper to get the metadata from a different site?

Just an observation Season 00 is not a season, its -specials- all Season 00 are.specials episodes. And clearly labelled as such in tvdb.
So this page
http://thetvdb.com/?tab=season&seriesid=...8701&lid=7 shows all specials on its own.
And this page
http://thetvdb.com/?tab=season&seriesid=...9351&lid=7 shows season 1 and though the specials are there, they are not part of season 1 they are still season 00
Correct is:
Season 00 specials
Season 1
Season 2
Season 3
That's how it is in tvdb and is correct and there is no need to name the seasons
Code:
Season 00
Spartacus.S00E01.Past Transgressions
Spartacus.S00E02.Missio
Spartacus.S00E03.Paterfamilias
Spartacus.S00E04.Beneath the Mask
Spartacus.S00E05.Reckoning
Spartacus.S00E06.The Bitter End
Season 1
Spartacus.S01E01_episode_name
etc etc
Season 2
Spartacus.S02E01_episode_name
etc etc
Season 3
Spartacus.S03E01_episode_name
etc etc
A SOURCE directory with proper TV_SHOW_NAME and Seasons should look like imo. for correct scrapping.
Code:
TV Show Directory
|__Spartacus Blood and Sand
|______Season 00 < <<< Should be 00 just to make sure Specials are not missed though Season 0 should be ok.
|____________Spartacus S00E01.episode_name
|____________Spartacus S00E02.episode_name
|____________Etc...
|______Season 1 < <<< no need to add a 0
|____________Spartacus S01E01.episode_name
|____________Spartacus S01E02.episode_name
|____________Etc...
|______Season 2 < <<< no need to add a 0
|____________Spartacus S02E01.episode_name
|____________Spartacus S02E02.episode_name
|____________Etc...
|______Season 3 < <<< no need to add a 0
|____________Spartacus S03E01.episode_name
|____________Spartacus S03E02.episode_name
|____________Etc...
|__ANOTHER TV SHOW
|______Season 1 < <<< no need to add a 0
|____________showname S01E01.episode_name
|____________showname S01E02.episode_name
|____________Etc...
|______Season 2 < <<< no need to add a 0
|____________showname S02E01.episode_name
|____________showname S02E02.episode_name
|____________Etc...
XBMC after scrape will show something like
Code:
TV-SHOW_NAME
Specials << If Season 00 exists
Season 1
Season 2
Season 3

I redid my entire library over the last few days for Frodo and MySQL and confirm that all 3 "seasons" of Spartacus work fine under the one name. I have my folder called Spartacus Blood and Sand, then season 0, season 1 and season 2 folders below that with files named as per uNiversal's post.
All scraped and appear in correct order in XBMC TV Shows.

Go make/or have xbmc make nfos for the episodes. If you change <season>0</season> to <season>2</season> you could have GotA come after B&S. But, you'd probably then have to change the nfos for Vengeance to be season 3 and then when War of the Damned comes out, you'd have to change season 3 to be a 4...
Seems a little much to me. Especially since watching GotA before season 1 doesn't hurt at all.
