Hello again everyone,
This may or may not exist somewhere in some post, but I never saw it so I thought it might be useful to others. Ever since I first installed XBMC and then Aeon, I have been struggling with why one particular movie would just never get scraped properly (or even pickup and hand-made nfo file). The name of the movie is called "The Long, Long, Trailer" a funny movie with Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. After going through weeks of machinations, removing parts of the file name like the comma or the extra "long" from the name, it turns out that the problem was having the word "Trailer" in the name. It occurred to me just this morning that it may have something to with "Trailer" causing XBMC to assume it was a movie trailer and therefore would not pick up the nfo or do a proper scrape. So I removed the word "Trailer" from the name of the file and lo and behold, it scraped like a champ! So if you have any movies with that word in the title (there are a few such as Trailer Park Boys, Mickey's Trailer, Trailer Park Of Terror, Trailer Horn, etc) then you may need to remove that word from the name before you try to scrape it.
I just thought I would share my discovery and save anyone else going through the hair-pulling experience that I did.
