Hi,
I've been using XBMC for years and love it. It's so good that even though I have been using it for years I have only just now decided to register for the forums because I need help. Up until now everything has just worked :-)
I have a library of TV Shows on a NAS exported read-only using NFS. I really don't want to rename the files.
Almost all of them scrape perfectly but I have a few that do not. One, for example, I see it in my library as the correct show, but also as "God's Quiz". It also used to appear as "Answer Me '94" or something like that, but does not any more. I've done lots of searching and the resolution in each case seems to be to rename the files.
My reading of the XBMC Wiki regarding NFO files suggests that I should be able to override the default scraper behavior with .nfo, but this does not seem to work. Do I have to rename them??
The show is structured like this:
TV Shows/[long descriptive name]/
TV Shows/[long descriptive name].nfo
TV Shows/[long descriptive name]/Season 1/
TV Shows/[long descriptive name]/Season 1.nfo
TV Shows/[long descriptive name]/Season 1/[short name].s01.e01.m4v
TV Shows/[long descriptive name]/Season 1/[short name].s01.e02.m4v
...
TV Shows/[long descriptive name]/Season 2/
TV Shows/[long descriptive name]/Season 2.nfo
TV Shows/[long descriptive name]/Season 2/[short name].s02.e01.m4v
TV Shows/[long descriptive name]/Season 2/[short name].s02.e02.m4v
...
The top level .nfo files contain a single line with the URL of thetvdb.com series page. Each of the series .nfo files contain a single line with the URL of thetvdb.com season page.
Each time I try to fix with .nfo file changes etc. I remove God's Quiz from my library, refresh library and it comes back :-(
The other shows that are causing problems are (I believe similar) and I am confident I can apply whatever I learn from this example to fix them as well.
Edit - I lied, using SMB, not NFS but don't think it is relevant.
Edit 2 - pastebin of debug log from scan http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=YLN3zC3d
