Sometimes a TV show, cartoon or TV special doesn’t scrape because it isn’t available from your usual scraper such as thetvdb.com<\/p>\n

In these instances you just need to create a file called tvshow.nfo using notepad and copy it to the root of your new TV show folder.<\/p>\n

You can also take the opportunity to create banner.jpg, fanart.jpg, poster.jpg and folder.jpg (These will show up once we start XBMC and it updates the library)<\/p>\n

The tvshow.nfo should contain the following information:<\/p>\n

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>\r\n<tvshow>\r\n    <title>Pac Man and the Ghostly Adventures<\/title>\r\n    <showtitle>Pac Man and the Ghostly Adventures<\/showtitle>\r\n    <season>-1<\/season>\r\n    <episode>-1<\/episode>\r\n    <plot>Pac Man and friends in their many adventures..<\/plot>\r\n<\/tvshow><\/pre>\n
You can visit the xbmc wiki to find out all the other tags that can be used, but for now this will get things working.<\/p>\n
Next, we need to create an additional nfo file for all the actual episodes that you have.<\/p>\n
example.
\npac man s01e01 the new adventures.mkv
\npac man s01e01 the new adventures.nfo
\npac man s01e02 pac man episode 2 name!.mkv
\npac man s01e02 pac man episode 2 name!.nfo<\/p>\n
The nfo must be named identical to the corresponding episode as detailed above.
\nThis is an example of the content<\/p>\n
<episodedetails>\r\n<title>the new adventures<\/title>\r\n<rating><\/rating>\r\n<season>1<\/season>\r\n<episode>1<\/episode>\r\n<\/episodedetails><\/pre>\n
Don’t forget to create an episode nfo for each file \/ episode that you add.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
