===== Custom Videos in Library =====

I've done a lot of what you are attempting and figured out how 
to get it to work for just about anything. I use the bare 
minimum .nfo files and they work. I suppose more items could be 
added but I simply want the files to show up in library mode. I 
am less concerned about all the metadata.\\


My setup is:\\


    SOURCE.FOLDER.for.TVshows
    ---Name.of.TVshow.folder
    ------s1e1.name.of.video.file.avi
    ------s1e1.name.of.video.file.nfo
    ------s1e1.name.of.video.file.tbn (picture shown for episode 1)
    ------s1e2.name.of.video.file.avi
    ------s1e2.name.of.video.file.nfo
    ------s1e2.name.of.video.file.tbn (picture shown for episode 2)
    fanart.jpg (background image for the tvshow)
    folder.jpg (banner or movie poster that shows up in library mode)
    tvshow.nfo

    "tvshow.nfo"
    Code:
    <tvshow xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
      <title>TV SHOW TITLE</title>
      <rating>10.0</rating>
      <plot>SHOW PLOT</plot>
      <genre>Documentary</genre>
      <premiered>1969-07-14<premiered />
      <studio>International</studio>
    </tvshow>

    s1e1.name.of.video.file.nfo
    Code:
    <episodedetails xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
      <title>EPISODE TITLE</title>
      <season>1</season>
      <episode>1</episode>
      <aired>2011</aired>
      <plot>EPISODE PLOT</plot>
      <displayseason />
      <displayepisode />
      <watched>false</watched>
      <rating />
    </episodedetails>


These should work for you. Sometimes when I get something wrong 
I have to remove my source, clean the library, and re-add the 
source to get it to take. For this reason I use a separate 
folder source for test purposes so I dont have to delete my 
whole library to fix a mistake with a few files.\\
