			\| Question=New episodes will not scrape
			\| Answer=
			#Ensure the episodes exist at the scraper site
			#Due to the theft of API Keys by the piracy community, the API keys used by the scraper when you first added the show may have been revoked and new API Keys have been issued. This means when you add new episodes, the scraper is trying to use the original and outdated API Keys registered to the TV Show. To update the API Keys, '''[[Updating_or_removing_videos#Refresh_Library\|Refresh]]''' the TV Show. No need to refresh the Episodes when asked.
			#You may have switched scrapers, say from TheTVDB.com to TheMovieDB for TV Shows. As the API Keys are scraper specific, you will be trying to use TVDB Keys to access TMDB which will not work. The entire show needs to be refreshed as stated in the previous point.
