<div>I'll do a bit more investigating then. I've a bunch of

be nice to have a bit of metadata for them.</div>

<div>The results of scanning are not very successful. I've set
up the sort of filenames described in the Wiki but I can't
tell what site the scanner is going to nor what parameters it
is searching for.</div>

</div>
<div>For example if search manually search TVDB, TVMaze and
TVMovieDB on the web for 'Annika' they all find the 2021 TV
series of that name as the top hit. A myth videoscan finds
other programmes with Annika in the title, and some without,
but never the one I want.</div>

<p>The way I do it works well. I name the directory with the series
name and the episodes in the directory as SxxExx.mkv</p>
<p>For Example</p>
<p>Annika/S01E01.mkv</p>
<p>Annika/S01E02.mkv</p>
<p>etc.</p>
<p>In shows where the name is not unique this may not give what you
want. If you search thetvdb.com for Annika, you find the 2021
series labeled Annika (2021). In this case, it may help to name
the directory Annika (2021).</p>
<p>To re-scan things that were wrongly scanned, I move the directory
out of the videos storage group. run "mythutil --scanvideos", move
it back into the recording group and run "mythutil --scanvideos"
again. Just renaming it and scanning does not look up the metadata
again.</p>
