tvshow.nfo is a file which contains information about a particular tvshow. xbmc reads them from your tv shows directory (where you place your tv shows).
It has nothing to do with what you just posted which is part of the xbmc web interface files.
If you look at the log you just posted and ctrl + f "tvshow.nfo" you will see.
eg. /home/mythtv/recordings/Showings/Glee/tvshow.nfo

Im running the svn version from 1 week ago crystal hd now working with my myth hdpvr recordings got me looking @ your script. I will play with deleting the nfo files when i get home, thanks for your patience.

Once you delete the files, remove and re-add the source from XBMC to reset everything. If this problem persists, I will look at making a work around.

I am making a couple of changes in the SVN tonight.
1. No file naming operations will occur in move mode when using mythtv when the user running mythicalLibrarian is not "mythtv". This will be bypassable with an extra command line option.
2. Also, for mythicalSetup, if mythicalLibrarian is used with mythtv, the default permissions will be mythtv instead of username.

I have installed ubuntu server and mythtv on a virtual machine and now I must make some recordings to test and see if this could be a dependency issue.

Yes it is. Remember each user maintains his/her own tracking file. If Greg created the file, mythtv will not check it.
Maybe that should be globally managed.

Thanks for the answer, appreciated.
Global management of the tracking file would be a nice feature/option, I think. I know that when I did my initial scans of recordings, I was logged into my default account, not the mythtv account. A few upgrades (and hardware failures) later, I don't think that that tracking file still exists in my home account.
While I'm thinking of maintenance issues, I have several recorded movies that were unrecognized by mL, placed into /Showings, but tagged as TV Shows in their .nfo files. They are no longer in the --doover queue for whatever reason (see above). So two questions: (1) would a --scan of the Showings directory possibly fix the categorization? (2) If so, should I remove the inaccurate .nfo files before doing the --scan?
Thanks again for the support.
