TV Show Metadata
Using local metadata to manually organize and group TV episodes is not supported at this time, but may be added in a future update. For now, it is recommended to keep the ‘Metadata Fetching’ option (found in Infuse > Settings > General) enabled and use one of the recommended TV show file naming styles. This will allow these items to be matched and grouped using information from TMDB.
Overriding metadata and artwork is not available when connecting via UPnP or DLNA.
