Can’t get a TV show to scrape…nfo help wanted

Hi,
I have a french belgian tv show that won't scrape, despite it being in the TVDB database, so I thought I would try using an .nfo file. So since it is on the scraper's website, I figured I'd go the easy route using a simple url as explained on this wiki page: http://kodi.wiki/view/NFO_files/tvshows#...ning_a_URL

When it came to naming it, it wasn't clear to me what I should do. This is what is says:

Quote:Filename should be tvshow.nfo (Exact, NOT the name of the TV show) in the root folder of the TV Show that points to a show on TheTVDB.com
The show is called 'La Trêve' so I called the file La Trêve.nfo (is that correct?)

Not sure how to understand that, I tried two things:
- I first put it in the root folder where the TV show's folder appears. I.e. show is located at D:/La Trêve; nfo was placed in D:/La Trêve.nfo
- Show (still) placed in D:/La Trêve; nfo was place in D:/La Trêve/La Trêve.nfo

In the .nfo, as explained in the wiki, I just put the direct link to the TVDB page: http://thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=299827&lid=17 and saved the file as UTF-8.

Each time, I re-scanned the library but none of that is working...what am I doing wrong??
Thanks,
Chumbo the noob
