[SOLVED] Metadata for series that needs a colon?

I am trying to get Serviio to pick up the correct series from http://thetvdb.com. The problem is that the series needs the colon; the series in question is "Superman: The Animated Series". Windows won't allow me to use ":" as a character for the directory, and I'm not sure how to use a .nfo file for a series with Serviio. My file structure is thus:

  Code:
Dir -> "Superman The Animated Series"
 Child Files -> "S1E01 The Last Son of Krypton Part 1 of 3.avi"
                "S1E02 The Last Son of Krypton Part 2 of 3.avi"


As shown, I can't put colon in the directory name, so what are my options???

I think I've found the answer.....
I've created a file in this directory called "tvshow.nfo", which contains the following:

  Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<tvshow>
   <title>Superman: The Animated Series</title>
   <id>71788</id>
</tvshow>
