I am unable to scan media over my home network. Local scanning on the Mac went great but if I try to add a folder from my Windows machines upstairs it scans for about 2 seconds and says "done". Can someone shed some light on this for me?
I just used the Mac "connect to server" and entered my credentials for my Windows login. I can see all my Windows drives over the network and can write to them from Finder.

I can't help much, but I would investigate what kind of file share protocol is being used and see if you can change it on the windows machine. I connect to a library on another computer but it is a Mac mini and works fine (although quite slow to read the library in when it needs to refresh).

First off this is a fantastic program thank you for your hard work.
When scrapping my TVLibary I get this message
"An exception of class NilObjectException was not handled. The application must be shut down"
I have narrowed it down to specific TV shows.
Lost (2004) is one of them. If I remove it from the Libary no issues. I have even tried completly different encode of lost had the same issue. I am currently using the "carbon" build it seems more stable on my OSX 10.9.2 machine. I have tried disabling the sources that I can, but still the same result.
There are a few other tv shows that cause this for me:
30 Rock
Garfield and Friends
supermario bros super show
Any thoughts as to what's going on?

It took me a bit to figure out what show(s) was causing it.
I was using MediaElch it's a fine scrapper, but with my library consisting of 6 3TB external drives it took so long to load and often crashed. VIMM loads blazing fast aside from this issue much more stable.
Again KUDOS on a great Program us poor Mac users usually get the short end of the stick!
Oh one last thing, I noticed VIMM drops a EpsoideGuide.json file
What does that do? Have not noticed any difference on XBMC is it something specific skins use?

The EpisodeGuide is something only ViMM uses in its 'Episodes Manager' which you can get to by selecting a TV show and pressing the 'Episodes' toolbar button.
This manager basically can keep track of all the episodes you've watched, and makes it easy to delete all the files, thumb, subtitle, episodeNfo and the episode itself once you've watched it, in case you want to safe space for future episodes. ;-)
I thought keeping track of which episodes you've already watched would be rather nice, especially if you (re)watch an old tv show or play catch-up by watching a lot of episodes at once, XBMC generally keeps track well enough itself, but if you somehow re-set XBMC, or even re-download all your episodes, ViMM should be able to keep track so that you won't have to worry about saving your watched status. ^^
I also had the idea to make it a bit more fun to keep track of your watched episodes by gathering your 'time spend watching', and 'watched episodes per day' information in fancy graphs at some point. ^^

Does Trackt.tv integrate with TV Shows? I can seem to find a "mark as watched" option for VIMM TV Library just movies.
