Due to the often slow speed of TVDB it took me 5minutes to just add the show. And then what happens if it is the wrong one.
It only shaves a few minutes off the time needed to scrape the tvshow automatically, but if only 1 out of 10 is wrong then it works out slower, this would be 10x worse for the people who don't check and end up scraping 100s of episodes for the wrong show.
It may be a pain to add all your tv shows individually, but it only needs to be done once, and once you have caught up it is not much of an issue to add a new show occasionally.
I had the same sort of idea, but instead of having MC automatically scan the new show in, could you just add the show folder to the list of shows to the left. That way, you know that there is a new show in your root folder, and you can manually add the show and its episodes.
Just a thought.
