These instructions cover importing, tagging and cover art for TV Shows.

TV Show Series are well supported byMC17. One thing to get clear is the terminology and hierarchy of terms.

Series

This is the top level term and is the parent name for the set of Seasons and Shows or Episodes. As I am a Frasier fan, I'll use that as my example. So "Frasier" is the Series name.

Season

Most Series have a number of Seasons which consist of sets of Shows or Episodes. A Season may be shown on TV over a number of weeks during a year. Often, the Season may be sold on DVD or Blu-Ray discs.

Episode

An Episode is an individual Show of the Season or Series. You may set up MC17 or your Set Top Box to record these shows with a Subscription.

Episode File Naming

Naming of the Episode files is important because, on import, MC17 will parse the filename to identify that the file is a TV Show, the Series name, Season and Episode numbers and use this data to populate the relevant tags.
