Do your episode nfo files have the exact same names as their corresponding episode video files and are they co-located in the same folders as the video files?

its placed like this:
Z:\tv\100.Hojdare\season.03\100.Hojdare.S03E05\100.hojdare.s03e05.nfo and the .avi is named the same as the nfo, i dont see what could be the problem?

Why do you have each episode in a separate folder? Try it like this:
Z:\tv\100.Hojdare\season.03\100.hojdare.s03e05.nfo (along with 100.hojdare.s03e05.avi)

In other words, all Season 3 episodes should go in the folder: Z:\tv\100.Hojdare\season.03\

i have them in different folders because they are rar'ed and i would like to keep them like that Smile

Do a Debug Log while refreshing the show in question.

I just tested using the file structure you specified above along with your episode nfo file from above and was able to scan the S03E05 episode into my library. The plot displayed for the episode was correctly retrieved from the nfo file. I had added a few words to the <plot> tag just to be sure the text was indeed from the episode nfo file itself.

shms · 2012-12-31, 10:42

very weird, just to clarify, this is the raw file i use http://speedy.sh/aKhWR/100.hojdare.s03e1...id-sqc.nfo

artrafael · 2012-12-31, 11:27

I used the examples you presented in posts #3 and #1:

Files in the \100.Hojdare\season.03\100.Hojdare.S03E05\ directory:

Code:
100.hojdare.s03e05.nfo

100.hojdare.s03e05.avi

Contents of 100.hojdare.s03e05.nfo:

Code:
<episodedetails>

<title>De tio sämsta idéerna mellan åren 1975 och 2004</title>

<rating>10.00</rating>

At this point, I reiterate what jmarshall suggested: Enable debug logging, run your scan and review the log to see why it's not adding the episode with your nfo file information.

shms · 2012-12-31, 12:03

I debugged but i dont see anything about it, what should i look for specificly?

artrafael · 2012-12-31, 22:01

You should look for this episode name as it is being scanned into the library to see if it is being skipped for some reason. Keep in mind that if this episode is already in your library, but without the information from your nfo file, then you need to first remove the episode from the library (via the context menu) and then rescan the show to add the episode back into the library (and, hopefully, with the nfo data retrieved this time)... it's this last step that you want to see in your xbmc.log.

i cant figure it out, do you mind checking my debugglog?

one noob question
Im in K18 Leia
I was wondering if always the episode NFO File HAS to have the exact name as the Videofile Source?
Like this: TVShow-S01E01.nfo and TVShow-S01E01.mkv
I prefer having my Strm files exported in their original format (Breaking Bad - 01x01 - Piloto [1080p].mkv.STRM) and next to that the orignal NFO file (Breaking Bad - 01x01 - Piloto [1080p].NFO) and that can be read by kodi.
With my movies there is no problem but with episodes in TVshows i could no find a way.
Any suggestion?
