Override scraper Title for TV Shows

This is something that I've never really mastered and have decided to get to the bottom of it. Smile

I have a DVD with 15 Tom and Jerry episodes from various years and it's been ripped to video_ts which sits inside a folder with a rather long name given that it has all the episodes in the folder name (e.g. s1941e01.s1941.e04 and so on). Anyway, that all works fine - it scrapes perfectly and all the episodes are present and correct and the artwork is all marvellous. The series title is (unsurprisingly) "Tom and Jerry".

Now, I want it to use a different title, namely "Tom and Jerry (China)". Obviously, I could post-process rename it, but that's no good because I have multiple copies of the same episode from various sources (I'm a T&J geek!) and I like to keep them separate! Moving on... I need a tvinfo.nfo, so I create one. Here's the problem: if I do this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<tvshow>
<title>Tom and Jerry (China)</title>
<episodeguide>
<url>http://thetvdb.com/api/1D62F2F90030C444/series/72860/all/en.zip</url>
</episodeguide>
</tvshow)

all the episode are fine and the new title is accepted, but the show itself is missing all the details.

The URL http://kodi.wiki/view/NFO_files/TV_shows says "The *.nfo file contains a URL of the information page to scrape. The file can include other information (i.e. scene info), Kodi will scan through it and use a relevant URL if a match is found." Sounds perfect! But what it doesn't say is where to put the Show URL in the nfo file. So, if I guess, and just chuck it at the end:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<tvshow>
<title>Tom and Jerry (China)</title>
<episodeguide>
<url>http://thetvdb.com/api/1D62F2F90030C444/series/72860/all/en.zip</url>
</episodeguide>
</tvshow)
http://thetvdb.com/?tab=seasonall&id=72860&lid=7

It is ignored - same result as without the last line (so episodes and title are all fine, but no tv show info).

Is there a correct way to do this?

TIA
