TV Shows from VIDEO_TS Folders
If you have TV shows in VIDEO_TS folders and set the content type to TV Shows, you will have to manually drill down to the VIDEO_TS.IFO file and play it, which is annoyingly unuser friendly. If you set the content type to Movies, you may download movie information instead of TV information for TV shows that have the same name as movies. However, if you set the content type to TV Shows and do a scan to get the correct content, then switch the content type to Movies without doing a scan, you get the best of both worlds.

The other solution to this would be to add VIDEO_TS folder support to the TV Show content type.
