[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1284056, member: 109222"] Hi. You can create .nfo files for your "private" series. You need a "tvshow.nfo" in the root- folder of the series and an "{episodetitle}.nfo" for every episode, no matter if they are in the root folder or if they are organized in season folders. Aside this you can add fanart, poster, banner, clearart and thumbs to your files, so your private series is looking exactly as if it was a "real" series. I also have some series not listed online so I've done this some times already. This method has a big advantage over editing and/or hacking the database (like MP1 does). As long as you keep the graphics and the .nfo files alongside "your" series every HTPC program excerpt for MP1 can import this series with no further interaction. Sadly TVSeries never supported .nfo files also it is a must nowadays... There are tools out there that can create such .nfo for you. Personally I'm using Media-Buddy (because I wrote this program...) But there are other tools too... I've attached a complete folder of a series not listed online but will import in any known HTPC tool excerpt of MP1 (as explained). I got this working in MP2, in Emby, in Plex, in Kodi and so on. Only the video files are replaced by .stub files. It's a German series but you will get a clue nevertheless, I'm sure... Edit: If you have a closer look at the .nfo files (they are text files with some sort of XML syntax) you will find a <id> tag with the value of "-123" This is a "remaining" from older programs that are in a need for a TVDB-ID. If there is none you could use a random negative value instead. As far as I know it is no longer necessary to add a "negative" ID. But it did not hurt in any way... [/QUOTE]
