I see Video -> Series -> X (1 series)

On the NAS is

X-Men Evolution (2000) -> Season 1
X-Men Evolution (2000) -> Season 2

I have .nfo files in each folder which contain:
<tvshow>
<genre>Superhero</genre>
<id>71168</id>
</tvshow>

X-Men The Animated Series (1992) -> Season 1
X-Men The Animated Series (1992) -> Season 2
X-Men The Animated Series (1992) -> Season 3
X-Men The Animated Series (1992) -> Season 4
X-Men The Animated Series (1992) -> Season 5

I have .nfo files in each folder which contain:

<tvshow>
<genre>Superhero</genre>
<id>76115</id>
</tvshow>

What format are you using for the file names? Serviio expects Series Name SxxExx. You can put the year in parentheses after the series name, and the episode title can go after the season and episode numbers. These are both optional.

I have seen issues when there's a hyphen in the series name (such as Adam-12). For this example, I had to name the file Adam12 (no space or hyphen).

This naming convention is necessary when using the Internet databases. I am unfamiliar with nfo files, and if they require specific file naming. I would assume that if the nfo file had the same exact name as the video file, it should be recognized, but again, I've never played with them.

Initially I had for example: x-men.evolution.s01e01.avi and x-men.evolution.s01e01.nfo - the .nfo was using the YAMJ layout inside.

I then tried the XBMC version of tvshow.nfo with the full URL inside (XBMC style). No difference on a folder removal and re-scan.

I then used filebot to rename all the files as per TheTVDB.com so now I have:

X-Men Evolution - 1x01 - Strategy X.avi
X-Men Evolution - 1x02 - The X-Impulse.avi
X-Men The Animated Series - 1x01 - Night of the Sentinels (Part 1).avi
etc.

And still Serviio shows 1 series of X...

If you rename the files without the hyphen in X-Men you should be fine using on-line metadata eg: rename to XMen Evolution - 1x01 - Strategy X.avi will work.

To use your .nfo files, you must use tell Serviio to use them - in Serviio console, Metadata tab change from "Online metadata sources" to "XBMC .nfo files". Note that doing so will require an .nfo file for every media file (ie. you cannot have .nfo files for some, and use online sources for others). Only XMBC .nfo files are supported.

Thanks. The hyphen removal fixed it...
