Major Bug with TV Shows and XBMC 13 changes
#1
Not sure when this occured, but I only noticed recently as I have only started to scrape and store my NFO's and thumbs for TV Shows.

If you have files without NFO's, then XBMC will scan and add to library as per normal.

If you have NFO's saved for your TV Shows, then XBMC will look at the NFO, it searches for a <episodeguide> tag in the tvshow.nfo file as noted here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=169153

If there is no tag, it will only pickup the episodes with NFO files, if you have files without the NFO they will not be added to the Library.

Problem is EMM does not write the tag in the tvshow.nfo file. So you either have to manage ALL with EMM or never save any NFO's and let XBMC do all the work.

I have spent nearly a week trying to work this out, and even thou I am still doing some tests, it seems to be the problem I was having here: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=NFO_files/TV_shows

Here is the Wiki page with the relevant information: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=NFO_files/TV_shows

You need an own TVDB API key. Get one on TVDB and copy it to the TVDB API key field in tv show scraper. Activate EpisodeGuideURL in data and scraper settings, restart Ember and rescrape the show.
