Also, to chime in
since 17.4 update, I can't add TV show to library. I have tried few scrapers like AniDB, and TVDB scrapers... I usually use AniDBMOD scraper, and it worked until update.
My TV Shows disk is mounted into /home/user/TV Shows and has two folders there, ANIME_SERIJE and TV_SERIJE.
I've added new anime shows yesterday, and usualy I browse into folder with animes, make 'right clikc' to bring up the menu on non scraped shows and select last options, I think it's 'Scan to database' in english. What SHOULD happen is giving me choice of selecting the TV show I want to add, and adding them. but nothing happens, no menu is shown. I use folder names for shows as shown on MyAnimeList, so rarely I have any problems... sometimes I need to enter manually the name, usually shorten it if it contains quite a long title.
But that doesn't happen now.
There is option above 'Scan to database' (second to last) which I can't recall it's name, which scans the folder and adds it to the database, but only if the titles are correct.
Will add more info as soon my daughter stops watching cartoons
EDIT: i see now this is for windows wersions - I am still using Kodibuntu.

For what is worth, anidbmod has the show with it's name in the xml file. but if not, there was always the window where I could initiate manual entry and search.
