Even MP2-Edit can't do this now. You can alter the descriptions and even the episodes titles, but first the series needs to be identified correct. This will change in near future but for now it can not be done. MP2 Edit is able to change/correct wrongly downloaded fanart and it also can import the "watched flags" from MPTVSeries (or MovingPictures, MyVideos and MyFilms) into MP2 so you don't loose your watched flags. And it can be used to do an automated and invisible backup of the whole MP2- Library. But due to technical reasons it can not add series or episodes manually and it also can not edit the series itself...But if you prepare your collection just a little bit in the right way, there is no need to edit/correct series at all. I own more than 20.000  episodes and did not have a single wrong detection. Easiest is to use properly tagged MKV videos. MP2 can read the Matroska tags and use them to identify the episodes correctly, no matter how they are named or placed... Second is to use the well known .nfo files, that are widely used excerpt for MPTVSeries. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite16" alt=":cry:" title="Crying    :cry:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":cry:" />  It's the only program/plugin of this kind I know about that don't support .nfo... You can generate .nfo files with various tools like tinyMediaManager, Ember or MKV-Buddy (the later also can be used for tagging MKV properly).If you are not able or willing to use one of those 100% safe solutions you'll need to take care about the folder structure and the naming scheme. Most important is the name of the series folder. It needs to be named as close to the series name on TVDB as possible. You even can use foreign language series names to get an unique result. Before I've tagged all my MKV I had named some series folder in Swedish language as the German ones don't deliver an unique result. But all metadata and fanart was downloaded in my preferred language nevertheless... Then you can use season folders if you want. But you did not need them. If you use them the season number should have at least two digits (a leading 0 for seasons 1 to 9) and it should be on the end of the Folder name. E.g. "Season 01" is working, "01.Season" is not... The episodes filename should contain something like S01E01. If you have the series name in the episodes filename this did not hurt, but is is not used for identification of the series. That's why you need to take care about the folder name that much. Specials needs to be named as "Season 00" and S00E01, not as "Specials" or similar to be recognized properly...And MP2 is able to handle multiple (unlimited) episodes in a single file. MPTVSeries is limited to two episodes in one file. If you use e.g. DVD (BD) ISO images you can name them containing something like "S01E01E02E03E04E05" and MP2 will recognize (and import) this ISO as episodes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the first season of the seriesIf you have a series recognized wrong you need to rename the series folder to match the TVDB series name precisely.  Then trigger a reimport of the share and the wrongly identified series should be gone and replaced by the correct one...</blockquote>
