Incorrect and missing videos

This page will show you how to add videos that got missed during the library scan, as well as how to fix mistakes that might have happened.

Check file names
The most common cause for something to be missing from a library scan, or to have scanned incorrectly, is if the file name of the video isn't named correctly. On problematic files you may wish to double check the naming once again, or even try alternative names or include the year the work was made.

Fixing individual videos
After adding new video files, if you find that the information is incorrect, select the incorrect entry and press to bring up the movie information and then select "Refresh". From here you can also do a manual title search lookup. Sometimes using a partial title in the manual search will help when a normal search brings up nothing.

The most common cause for this is that you haven't named the show's folder correctly. Check the site being scraped, and copy the title exactly as it is displayed, including anything in brackets.

If that doesn't solve the issue, or you are unable to change the folder name, you can force a match by adding a tvshow.nfo with the url of the show's page on the scraped site.

All files are added as a single TV show
This may happen if you've set content on the wrong folder, (usually the one above the one containing your TV shows). The telltale sign will be the title of the show everything is added as: "Al TV", "Genius Series", etc. The title will be derived from the name of your top-level TV folder.

Adding or excluding file types
You can add or exclude additional file types/extensions when scanning files into the library via an advancedsettings.xml file and the tag:
