    Default TV Show Not Identifying

    I have all of the season of Law & Order SVU. Most of the files are in unidentified files, the rest are listed under Law & Order UK. When I try to manually identify them I find SVU but it says it can't load the info for it. Honestly even if I was able to add them manually I don't really want to add 9 seasons episode by episode, it would take hours. Someone please help

    Create a tvshow.nfo that includes the ID from tvdb. Rescan the source and see if it picks up the episode details correctly.

    You can create one manually. http://support.boxee.tv/entries/5102...ng-an-nfo-file

    Code:
    <tvshow>
      <title>MythBusters</title>
      <plot>So exactly how hard is it to find a needle in a haystack, anyway? And can water dripping on your forehead really drive you nuts? Those are the kinds of questions, myths and urban legends that are put to the test in this humorous series to find out which ones hold water (and keep it from dripping on your forehead and driving you insane).</plot>
