Hi,
I've been looking around for this and so far without any luck. I looks to me that if a TV Show is not found in TVDB by the scraper then the show is dropped from the databases.
Is it possible, somehow, to say that everything in a given dir is TV Shows and if they are not found in the DB then they will make them "dir" for show and "filename" for episode .. or something like that?

Yeah it is annoying when that happens, it would be a cool option to add media no matter what then attach scraper information to it. We'll have to wait for that though I think
However so far as the show doesn't exist I think an important factor is that these sites are community run - the only reason the shows are in there is because someone put the effort into putting them there.
It would be cool if you added them to tvdb then others could benefit. Even if it was a season name and it's episodes then others could build on it.
I realise not all people have the time to but to me it almost seems like an altruistic gesture - which seem to be the best.

xbmc does have option to hide watched episodes in library mode so makes list of unwatched rather useless. You select this option same place where sorting is selected further down. theres quite a few bugs on trunk atm regarding scrapers and behaviours anyway.

Actually - that would be a nice feature (the "unmatched" items thing). Go ahead an fill a feature-request on the tracker. It will find way more developer-attention there.
Need help? Check out my

unmatched, my bad, well, thers certain naming convention that prevent tvdb fro scrapping the correct episodes regardless if they exist on tvdb or not.
In fact it has other side effects on the already watched episodes marker as well, i have opened a
bug report for this observable and real issue.
other than certain pre named episodes being unscrapable or unmatched because of how they are named originally is a problem idk if its a scrapper issue or a whoever is naming them.
I have always found thers no rhyme or reason on how some people name their stuff.

There's a patch on trac for adding unmatched items to the library. Unfortunately the person who wrote it has given up on it and it wasn't complete. It certainly could be used as a starting point.
