			= Naming =
			The naming of your TV Show folder is '''critical''' to ensure the scrapers can correctly identify the TV Show and its episodes.

			'''''TV Show name (Year)''''' - This is the correct naming format for both the movie files and movie folders.

			'''Note:''' If you are unsure of the name or year check it at the scraper site - either '''[https://www.themoviedb.org/ TheMovieDB website]''' or '''[https://thetvdb.com/ TheTVDB website]''' depending on which scraper you have set.
