Still having "issues" with this. A lot of shows are not recognized even though they are reasonably named, with a directory that ONLY contains the title of the show and filenames that have been carefully formatted.
For example, the anime "Aika"...
Anidb URL:
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=280
Not recognized at all with a folder named "Aika" or "Agent Aika", so I created a tvshow.nfo file with the anidb URL in it as instructed above.
Filenames are as follows:
Aika - 1 - Beautiful Agent - [1997-1999][anime-takeover][394A72BA].ogm
Aika - 2 - Naked Mission - [1997-1999][anime-takeover][F63F2BB9].ogm
..etc etc
This is a standard format applied via Anidb'O'Matic that works for about 85% of my shows, but about 15% it fails.
With tvshow.nfo, it gets the series information -- but not episode details.
Obviously the name is there, there's only ONE show by that name, so why in blue blazes is the scraper not picking up episode details? What's it take to get this thing to work?
Logfile below (cleaned up a bit and hopefully all the relevant bits)

19:37:14 T:2725125008 NOTICE: CleanDatabase: Starting videodatabase cleanup ..
Looks like it (as I thought) actually finds the URL I passed it... but it REFUSES to recognize any of the episodes! Is it bouncing back to thetvdb instead of anidb for episode details? It should NOT be doing that, but it looks like what it's doing.
