NFO file for tv shows doesn't work - Pashator - 2018-09-30
Hi,
Suddenly struck with strange issue: I like to keep NFO link files for every show and movie I have to avoid confusions and today I realized that NFO files for TV shows just don't work. I know it was API update for tvdb but according to documentation link files should work and I just put there a new link.
Here's my example and related log entries:
Share root:
13 Demon Street -> under the root I have file tvshow.nfo and folder Season 01 -> two episodes under.
tvshow.nfo consists of only one liner: https://www.thetvdb.com/series/13-demon-street
When I try to scrap it I have a prompt to pick a show but log file saying:
00:19:27.963 T:20284 DEBUG: VideoInfoScanner: No NFO file found. Using title search for 'smb://xxx.xxx.local/Library_8/TV/13 Demon Street/'
00:19:28.414 T:11912 DEBUG: ADDON::CScraper::FindMovie: Searching for '13 Demon Street' using The TVDB scraper (path: 'C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\metadata.tvdb.com', content: 'tvshows', version: '3.0.10')
Same works perfectly fine for movie files, with bogus file and just IMDB link in the NFO it is going to a proper place:
00:22:23.058 T:20620 DEBUG: VideoInfoScanner: Found matching URL NFO file: smb://xxx.xxx.local/Library_8/Movies/9-Multicast.nfo
Am I missing something or doing something wrong?
Any help appreciated!

Big thank you for the info!
Ps Maybe this should be somewhere in the wiki in big red? Thought I'm going nuts.
