Are NFOs the only way to handle shows like The 2000s and The 2010s - sufreak - 2023-09-02
I've generally avoided NFO files unless absolutely needed. I noticed that certain shows like The 2000s https://thetvdb.com/series/the-2000s and The 2010s https://thetvdb.com/series/the-2010s don't scrape well.
Is there a way to force a TVDB shown (like a file with a number) or are NFOs it?

"TMDb TVShows" as a scraper scans The 2000s fine if you add the year to the folder name
i just tested it with "The 2000s (2018)" and i expect the same to work for your other show

let me try with the year. I've been using TVDB, not TMDB.

You can also use a Parsing nfo file... https://kodi.wiki/view/NFO_files/Parsing

This is what I was looking for. But it resolves it to IMDB, if I'm reading correctly. Which then tries to resolve it to other scrapers?

If you use TMDB, then TMDB also has a field for IMDB, so it just does a lookup at TMDB. You can use IMDB or TMDB URL's

I'm using TVDB, but I will give this a shot to see how it goes
