After adding new video files, if you find that the information is incorrect, select the incorrect entry and press "i" 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.

NFO files
Another valid way of making sure your scraper finds its way to correct information for your newly added media is by the use of Nfo files. Nfo files can be used to provide data for a movie or influence the search behavior of scrapers (e.g by pointing it to a predefined URL).
Manually finding missing videos
If you have a small library then you can probably just use file mode and see what videos don't have metadata (thumbnails, for example). For larger video collections, see #Tools.
