<p>add extra bullet point under &quot;1.2 Create an .NFO file (recommended)&quot;</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>It took me quite some time to figure out why tv series where not scraped: It turned out thetvdb.com scraper doesn&#039;t scrape .NFO files if they are not in UTF format. This is nowhere mentioned on the Kodi Wiki. It probably only happens if the .NFO file contains non-English content, but since Kodi has an international user base this information is important to mention.<br /> The above may also be true for other media like music albums. I noticed the few NFO files I created in the past for music albums by Polish artists are also in UTF format.<br /> <br /> Therefore I would like to suggest to add an extra bullet point under &quot;1.2 Create an .NFO file (recommended)&quot;:<br /> * Make sure the .NFO file is UTF-8 formatted. Please note Windows creates new text documents in ANSI format by default.<br /> <br /> Please let me know if you need further info. Thanks!</div>
