Academy Awards not scrapping

No useful scanning at all in that debug log.

You need to "Scan for new content" on the "The Academy Awards" directory and grab that debug log.

Okay, I removed "Academy Awards" directory, shutdown XBMC, then opened up XBMC for it to scan the new content again. The debug is below. The show shows up but no files do. I tried one suggestion of "The Academy Awards - S01E84 - The 84th Academy Awards 2012" nothing shows up. I tried "s2012-02-26.blah_blah" and that sort of works but it thinks it's a Red Carpet special, not the actual Awards Show. I am pretty sure the folder name needs to be "Academy Awards" and not "The Academy Awards" even though it shows up on thetvdb with "The" in front.

I am using default scrapper and the show is on thetvdb.com http://thetvdb.com/?tab=season&seriesid=...1323&lid=7

It did scrape... if the listing is not correct in TVDB then your issue is with the fellas over at TVDB, it's a user driven database, I'm sure they could use all the help you could give them.

Well I think the listing is not correct with "s2012-02-26.blah_blah" because it looks like it is linking to a special (which is the red carpet). There is no episode in that file name so I don't think it would show up. I would think it would need to be something: s01e84 to show up the way I would like it to?

However, if it is a problem with TVDB how would you suggest I submit this "issue"? Just wondering if you knew the steps to take over there.

A quick search over there and it seems like it is an issue with XBMC (or at least they seem to think so)

Basically XBMC thinks that the 84th episode is really the 13th. This is because on TheTVDB they only list 13 award show years. The first one they have listed is 72nd Academy Awards 2000, so XBMC thinks it is episode 01 because they don't have the other 71 years listed.

I have not tested renaming it to 13 yet but I shall give it a try.

The show is registering, great.

Enable debuglogging (Settings->System->Debugging). You haven't yet done that.

Refresh the show (and all episodes) (Context menu on show->TV Show Information->Refresh)

Grab the debug log and pastebin it.

That will show you:
1. Whether XBMC is reading the episodes and, if so, what it's picking for season and episode number.
2. What it got back from thetvdb.com.

From that we can figure out what you should be naming things.

Cheers,
Jonathan

This is exactly right. It's this bit of code in scraper.cpp, it assumes the lowest episode number for each season is the first episode, and down-shifts all the episode values accordingly. I ran into it a while ago whilst trying to make a personal mod of another scraper.
