I having a problem importing my tvshow episodes, however tvshow general info is imported. I am using .iso files to store the multi-episodes. There is like 4 episodes per .iso. (works great with movies)

I generated all my *.nfo files with "XBMC Media Companion." I use this tool to download all the images for xbmc locally.
http://www.billyad2000.co.uk/

This will generate the following tvshow.nfo file for "Nip/Tuck" below. I also delete all the episode .nfo files. So in my directory I only have the tvshow.nfo and no other .nfo's. The reason that I delete the .nfo file is because I dont think xbmc supports multi-episode .nfo files.

xbmc does not support multi-episode XML thread


If I put just a url in tvshow.nfo it works as expected. Now, my question:

Why does tvshow.nfo that contains XML information not import the episodes?

When using the XML in tvshow.nfo do you have to have corresponding .nfo files for each episode?

This "nip_tuck/tvshow.nfo" will not work, it will not import the episodes. However imports everything else:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<tvshow>
    <title>Nip Tuck</title>
    <rating>8.4</rating>
    <season>-1</season>
    <episode>0</episode>
    <displayseason>-1</displayseason>
    <displayepisode>-1</displayepisode>
    <plot>A disturbingly perfect drama set in a southern Florida plastic surgery center, McNamara-Troy, centering around the two doctors who own it. Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) is having problems at home, keeping his family together and patching up the rocky road he and his wife Julia (Joely Richardson) share.  On the other hand, sex-craved Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) uses his charm to bring in potential female candidates and conducts shady business deals, often for the love of money. While Sean takes his job seriously, he often has to fix Christian's mistakes.</plot>
