All I get in the log is Non-library file, not enough data for scrobbling, skipping. As they are Live TV recordings then its not using a library. I tried sticking an NFO file in the folder but that didn't have any effect.

Edit: I misread your question, I thought you were just asking to get stuff in the library. As to what you need to get it scrobbled to trakt, I don't know. Probably the imdb id should suffice.

-- My original answer in case its useful --

It depends whether you are scraping a movie or a tvshow, or which of the libraries you want it to show up in.

I scrape all my pvr recordings as movies, with an nfo file that looks like this:
(note: the nfo file must be named identically to the PVR video file, changing only the extension to nfo)

<movie>
<tag>Recorded Movie</tag>
<title>whatever the movie title is</title>
<year>year it was released, obviously</year>
<plot>some plot details if I can be bothered</plot>
</movie>

If it's part of a tv show, I add a Set, like so
<movie>
<tag>Recorded TV</tag>
<set>TV Show name</set>
<title>SxxExx - episode title</title>
<year>year it was released, obviously</year>
<plot>some plot details if I can be bothered</plot>
</movie>

Then I replace my movie node with a custom playlist that excludes the tags Recorded TV and Recorded Movies, so the PVR stuff doesn't show up in my general movie list.
I create two more smart playlists with the rules:
Recorded Movies:
* tag = Recorded Movie

Recorded TV Shows:
* tag = Recorded TV

A playlist to combine them would be handy too.

The TV shows are grouped into folders, thanks to the "group movie collections into sets" feature.

I include TV shows in the movies library, because Smart playlists don't support tags on tvshows yet. But I think I'll keep doing it this way because it's pretty elegant.

I do it this way because my PVR files are temporary, and I want to keep them separate from the general movies list. If you are hgappy to mix them in, then the bare minimum for your info file is this:

<movie>
<title>whatever the movie title is</title>
</movie>

For tv shows, you need at least two nfo files. One for the tv show itself, and one for each episode. So scraping them as movies is simpler.
