Are you naming your shows EXACTLY what they are named on TVDB? What shows is it?

Yes, i'm actually using the program "the renamer" to move my shows into the correct folders and that program uses the tvdb as its database.
My shows are:
The Cleveland Show
Bully Beatdown
Eastbound & Down
South Park
The Bad Girls Club
The Boondocks
The League
The Walking Dead
The only ones xbmc is handling correctly are The Walking Dead and the Bad Girls Club. XBMC recognizes that I have folders for the other shows, but when I open them all up except for the 2 mentioned, they are empty.

Thanks, ok so I got it to display the shows now. I just removed the tv folder from source, cleaned the library then added it back to source, set content again, then did a library update. Now it shows all of my episodes. Only thing now is it's not showing the titles of all of the episodes. i.e. it will show 2x02 as the show title instead of "Little Big Man on Campus". It's weird b/c it just seems random. Some shows show all of the titles correctly but others like half of them show the episode titles and half just show the number. I have all of my files named using the correct naming scheme. Also went thru all of my folders to make sure there were no files with the word "sample" in them. even tried removing shows from the library and adding them back. Still I only get numbers for certain shows and not the complete title.

I should've told you to Enable debug logging to see if something goes wrong while you are doing the cleaning and updating the library.
Can you please post screenshots of the problem, it helps me more to see whats going on, also do a debug log while doing the process again please, someone might spot something in the log better than I can do.
Cheers,
EG.

Thank you elite, so if you have no .nfo and only video files in your folders xbmc will pull the data from the tvdb? Sounds like how I should set mine up. Thanks again for all your help everyone.

Update on this. After I gave up on this last night to Watch UFC. I closed XBMC with it still not showing all info for episodes. Came back to it this morning and apparently at 3:08am last night it downloaded all my episode information for everything. I'm not sure exactly how this happend since xbmc was closed but all of my episode information is here now. Weiirdddd
