In order for media to be resolved correctly Boxee requires a certain naming convention and for the content to be present in tvdb (thetvdb.com ) and imdb (imdb.com ).

We also provide an option to manually resolve the content, follow the steps bellow in order to do so

NOTE: Boxee provide the option to use NFO files, we strongly recommend to use it for unresolved content, it will provide a permanent solution. Content that was manually identified will be lost in case of a settings reset.
