how to scrape for chinese show synopsis
#1
xbmc is unable to show the information of all my chinese show. is there some addon i need to enable?

For example
the show "施公奇案II"
can be found on thetvdb http://thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=174231&lid=27.
i saved it to the folder 施公奇案II with the following format "施公奇案II E01.rmbv"

is this a file naming problem?

If the show exists on thetvdb, there's prolly something wrong with either the naming of the show, or the eps.

If you cant' scrape automatic, you can do it manually by adding a .NFO file..

Filename should be tvshow.nfo (Exact, NOT the name of the TV show) in the root folder of the TV Show that points to a show on TheTVDB.com.
http://thetvdb.com/index.php?tab=series&id=73545

so try compiling a .NFO file... Under Setting > Video > Library, you can export your library(NFO.files) to manually change them. add/change plot, thumbs, banners/ poster, rating and so on.

By extracting library, xbmc will put the .nfo files were thet belong, one in every movie and tv-show folder. It's helpful too see how they are built..
