I think this would be a really handy additional option for XBMC.
I have recently run into this problem with a couple of shows. The show is scraped correctly - ie XBMC creates tv show information (tvshow.nfo if exported) fanart and banners are all scraped no probs.
However, thetvdb.com does not have many episodes listed for these shows, so new episodes just won't show up in XBMC.
It seems a little unnecessarily restrictive to me that TV shows episodes can ONLY show up in XBMC library if they can be scraped form an external source.
The feature I'm requesting would let the user chose a different action for specific shows:
Let's say "SHOW A" has been scraped correctly, so I have fanart, banner, and show info all displaying nicely in XBMC. However, "SHOW A" episodes are not well listed on any of the scrape sites. I would love to toggle an option to "force filename recognition for this show"
In other words, for this show, all files found in the "SHOW A" folder, with "SHOW A" in the filename will be shown as "filename" in the library.
I hope I explained that clearly....it seems to me that this would be a great addition to XBMC, shouldn't be too complicated, and would prevent users having to resort to file mode to view shows without much scraper support.
