Missing .nfo files - bonix - 2010-05-17

Hi all, I am brand new to xbmc, and so far am VERY impressed. I do have one issue though:

The media that I have does not contain .nfo files. Is there a place where I can download them from, or am I forced to create them myself if I want them? (not a good option for me).

For example, I have the first season of the TV Show "Modern Family". The scraper does a great job of getting the art, but I get no show information to go with it.

For reference, I am using the latest stable build of xbmc on windows 7, and using the Confluence skin.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

If you want nfo files, you will have to create them.
But most likely your problem has nothing to do with missing nfo files, but bad/incorrect filenames (according to XBMC specs).

if you still have issues, a debug log is required:
