Hi Thanks Phil, but:

My CSI shows are in proper format (lots of different sources all used the same format) However, it didn't match with the automatic scan. For some reason, all the episodes in my directory are being recognized as "csi: ny" not "csi: crime scene investigation". Every one is mis-mapped (ie, "CSI-s01e01..." is the name of the file, and that is getting recognized as season 1 episode 1 of CSI NY - not CSI las vegas (known as csi: crime scene investigation).

Yes, I remember being able to actually type in a name for the show somewhere too... I just can't find it now.
But, I found out how to do this (but not by entering the name). Here is what I did: first I delete the "CSI:NY" completely from the library to start fresh, and (in file mode) right click / set content on my Top Level CSI directory (simply called CSI), then set it as a "tv show" type, with "thetvdb.com", I also tick "selected folder contains a single tv show". When I hit OK, I get no choice to enter the show name.
Next, I found you MUST right click, then select "TV Show Information" - NOT "Scan for new content". The "TV Show Info" brings up a dialog with POSSIBLE matches - and I can select the correct one. The second one make the best guess for you, and hence won't work for me (it matches CSI: NY for my "CSI".
There was another recent thread where the poster had the same CSI problem, found that it was necessary to rename the directory - thats where I got that idea from .
Problem solved, for me. No DB editing. Thanks for the push in the right direction. Still curious where I saw the "tv show name editor" before, though.
