I want 2 scraper my <24> tv shows. after i read TV Shows Naming conventions
from http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=TV_...onventions
it says:
The defaults will match the following structures/file name formats
foo.s01e01.*
foo.s01.e01.*
foo.s01_e01.*
foo_[s01]_[e01]_*
foo.1x01.*
foo.101.*


so i put my 24 as
24/Season 1/24.S01E01.rmvb
24/Season 1/24.S01E02.rmvb

when i use scraper, it linked wrong TV shows. did I do anything wrong?:confused2:

That structure looks fine. Choose the show that is set incorrectly in XBMC. You can do this in Library or file mode.

Then bring up the context menu. Choose "TV show information".

Then in that screen choose refresh.

When it asks to refresh for all episodes, choose yes.

Then when the show list appears, choose the correct one or choose "Manual" if you do not see the correct show listing.

thanks Kricker!!! i got it from Manual option.

one more question
I do have 8 seasons under directory 24, it looks like
24/Season 1/24.S01E01.rmvb
24/Season 2/24.S02E01.rmvb
.....
24/Season 8/24.S08E01.rmvb

I did scraper from top folder, should I do it one by one in order 2 bring in all 8 seasons?

ok, I did it by using Manual scan for each sub-folder. Is that only way to do?

No. You should have been able to do it from the top folder. You should have set the top folder's content to be TV shows using theTVDB as the source.
