Metadata for TV Shows? - cptrooper - 2011-01-22

Hey guys! Just installed XBMC on my mac and I'm loving it.
I have had a browse through the wiki but cannot find an answer...

I have added a TV Show Folder with the content set as TV shows. Currently, I have put a How I met your mother folder ->> Season 1, 2 ,3 etc and --> how.i.met.your.mother.S01E01 etc in each.
After scanning the folder for meta data, I can right click on each file in xbmc to view the details about the episode, but when I am viewing all the episodes in the folder, to actually watch an episode in xbmc, they are still named as they are on the original file. (eg. how.i.met.your.mother.s01e01.DVDrip.xvid.avi etc) No episode name or anything. Is there a way or an option for it to show the correct name as received from the scraper for meta data? Rather than the original file name on my mac? It would look much better Smile

Thank you so much for your help!

EDIT: Found what I was looking for. Rather than viewing by File Manager, I am viewing by Library. Smile
