I will likely change this in the future so that MC attempts to scrape tvshows by the folder name, but still block the scraping of episodes until a user has confirmed it is the correct show.
As for the blank nfo files, I am not sure what you mean, using the "TV Show Selector" tab does not at any point create nfo's for episodes, the code simply does not exist, only the tvshow.nfo, fanart, poster/banner, and season posters are scraped.
Once the tv show has been added, selecting the "Search for new episodes" tab will cause MC to look for the episodes and then hopefully download the information and screenshot.
There are 3 reasons why the episode may not be downloaded.
1) TVDB is down
2) The episode does not exist on TVDB
3) The user has the sortorder set to DVD and TVDB only has Default sortorder.
All of these are easy to check, No3 is the biggest candidate.
The blank nfo is a bug, it should not be written, just need to add a check for the fail before saving the file.
Thanks for clarifying the first point. It makes sense.
With regards to the blank nfo file. Here's what happens for me:
-I add a new folder to MC.
-The folder shows up in the program and I use "TV Show Selector" to scrape the correct TV show.
-It scrapes said TV show and downloads correctly folder.jpg, season thumbs and the tv.nfo.
-It also adds a .nfo file to each episode contained in the folder/sub folder. (This is before I have clicked search for new episodes).
-The episode .nfo file (seen in my original post) contains all the correct tags but no information stored in it except for season and episode number.
-When I click "Search for New Episodes", MC doesn't find any new episodes as the .nfo file has been created for each episode already. Also the episodes never actually show up in the MC window unless I manually delete each of the episode files and "Search for New Episodes".
-The problem is only when I've added a new TV show and used TV Show selector".
I'm 100% sure an episode.nfo file is being created when using the "TV Show Selector" option. I've tried it a number of times with the same results.
