Adding videos to the library/Contents

Incorrect matches

See also: /Naming TV shows#Tweaking matches

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.

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).

If you would like to remove the entire video database (for example after a bad scan, or you have problems with the library, or for whatever reason), then you can either rename the MyVideos*.db, in /userdata/Databases/ to something else (i.e. MyVideos*.db.backup) or delete it. Then restart, and the movie & TV show information gathering can be redone.
