Download and show information for TV shows correctly
#1
Hello,

I have a few TV shows on a NAS. The folder structure for a TV show is typically:

Quote:TV Show (Year)/
. . . . . . Season 1/
. . . . . . . . . . . . Episode 1/
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . S01E01.avi
. . . . . . . . . . . . Episode 2/
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . S01E02.avi
. . . . . . . . . . . . Episode 3/
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . S01E03.avi
. . . . . . Season 2/
. . . . . . . . . . . . Episode 1/
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . S01E01.avi
. . . . . . . . . . . . Episode 2/
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . S01E02.avi
. . . . . . . . . . . . Episode 3/
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . S01E03.avi
. . . . . . Season 3/
. . . . . . . . . . . . Episode 1/
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . S03E01.avi
. . . . . . . . . . . . Episode 2/
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . S03E02.avi
. . . . . . . . . . . . Episode 3/
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . S03E03.avi

This is a structure I use, as I find it a nice way to browse my TV shows, also I might have subtitles for an episode and then I have them in the same directory as the AVI files.

I have managed to download information for a TV show by setting it's source to "TV show", then choose to view the information for the TV show. It will then say, that it has not downloaded any information for the TV show and have me enter the name of the show. Typically, it's enough removing the year from the directory name. E.g. a folder named "Lost (2004-2010)" will be named "Lost" when I search for it. A list of shows matching the search query will appear and I will select the correct one.
Now the informations are being downloaded and applied to the upper most directory of the TV show ("TV Show (Year)").
When going down a directory, I the seasons won't be shown as a plain list anymore because its type is set to "TV show". It will have a default thumbnail next to it. This looks ugly.
Is there any way to have the seasons shown as a plain list type (as if it's type was set to "Movie") or is there any way to have it download and apply images for each season? If there is no way to have this done automatically, is there a way to do it manually then?
It would be fine with me if it wasn't trying to show images for each season. A plain list would do just fine.
