This is my first tutorial video on youtube, comments and feedback would be appreciated.

In this full hour long video, I will explain how did I manage to scrape all the information to Kodi for difficult to find shows. I also discuss on the Kodi standards of folder organisation, file name structure which helps in automatic scraping from either themoviedatabase or TVDB.

This is done on a fresh install of Kodi Krypton. Thus I also manage to handle some of the common mistakes, errors one might find when organising / configuring their library.
