confusion about tv show scraper
#1
How should one name files in a TV show directory so that the scrapper can download their episode plot summary, meta data etc.? Is this something the user has to do for each file? I was under the impression that the scrapper would do this automatically and am wondering if the filename or dir name is important.

Thanks and sorry for the newbie question.

This info is covered on the wiki along with many other things. On the website under "Support" is a link to the Wiki. You can search for things on the left hand side of that page.

Here is a link to the TV Shows article that explains a little about naming conventions:

Thank you both for the replies. I must admit that the hardest part of a wiki is searching for something you know you want to do when you're using keywords that aren't on that page!

Yeah, the wiki is still a Work In Progress. They're working to make it more useful and versatile.
