Sports Metadata for Plex

[wisem2540]

I know this probably belongs on the plex forums, but I wanted to poll the unraid community first.  Does anyone have Sports Episodes such as MLB World Series or The Super Bowl cataloged in plex?  How did you accomplish this?

I manually create metadata xml files.  I put it in its own Library with XBMCnfoTVImporter as the scanner. Its a little effort, but its better than no metadata.

 

Series XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Series>
<SeriesName>Texas A&M Football</SeriesName>
<Added>11/13/2013 7:56:39 PM</Added>
<LockData>false</LockData>
<Type>Series</Type>
<LocalTitle>Texas A&M Football</LocalTitle>
</Series>

I just create a home video section and make the file names make sense.....

 

Mostly sports stuff gets deleted after I watch it so there isn't a massive amount of stuff in the section anyway.
