Hey,
I put all my tv shows in the same folder and I do not organize them by folders:
/tv/Switched.at.birth.S01E01/Switched.at.birth.S01E01.avi
/tv/Switched.at.birth.S01E02/Switched.at.birth.S01E02.avi
/tv/Greys.Ananomy.S07E02/Greys.Ananomy.S07E02.avi
When scrapping it mentions it cannot find the shows or resolves them to some nsfw Chinese series.
I never had an issue with this before, I could just dump all tv shows into my tv folder and not have to organize anything.

Get yourself Filebot and rename them correctly.
Then the system will identify these correctly.
Also - it should rather be:
/TVShows/<ShowName>/Season 1/<show-name>.S01E01.episode name.avi
My setup downloads the tv shows from a rss feed nightly (when they become available) and transfer them into my tv folder when they are finished downloading.
I like this setup because I do not have to use a third party apps like filebot to arrange my files and anyone in my house can just watch their shows when it is newly added.
They can access the folder directly and sort by date added but I would prefer to use the scrapping feature.
The scraping feature only works correctly when the files are named in a manner that Kodi and the scraper support.
Oh I see, thanks.
I know plex finds all my tv shows correctly, so I’m guessing I can check if they have custom regex entries in advancedsettings.xml
Maybe the settings in the WIKI will help you in this case, http://kodi.wiki/view/advancedsettings.xml take a look at 2.3.9 - 2.3.10
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll give it a try and let you know the outcome
So after some several tries and “debugging”. I figured out thetvdb api does not like my seriesname, the below api request returns nothing:
http://thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries.php?seriesname=Switched%20at%20Birth%20S05E01&language=en
I’m guessing the episode number in throwing the request off
I’d create a single folder for each TV show, then just add all episodes to that folder:
/Tv/[title]/[title SxxExx]
That’s how I have mine setup and kodi picks them up without a problem
Actually, I tend to use: TVShows/Title (Year)/Season X/title.S01E01.mkv
Which works very nicely.
As a hint, search for filebot to rename your files. Works very nice 
The great thing about kodi is that there are multiple ways of doing the same thing. I prefer to keep all episodes in a single folder instead of splitting by season so I can easily see all episodes at once instead of going through each season folder.
I’d also recommend filebot, only started using it the other day but it really helped organise my library. Currently only using the GUI not tried the command line yet.
Thanks for the advice, I was hoping to avoid changing my file structure
