Quite often the problem with series recorded via enigma 2 is that the title 
string PVMC uses to sync the data includes all the metadata and as such PVMC 
has problems matching the title.

I had similar issues and thanks to the contributors here I got it sorted and 
got some great advice.
Try the following:
1st off with TV series it helps if you make sure the filename format is in a 
HTPC or XBMC compatible format (i.e Series name 1x01 or Series Name S01E01)
I use Filebot for quick and easy series renaming if the files need it.
Just to add, TV series recorded direct from Sat, will need to be renamed!
As the Enigma2 naming convention isn't compatible with the PVMC database i.e 
20120125 1209 - Sky Atlantic HD - Game of Thrones.ts should be renamed as Game 
of Thrones 1x01 or Game of Thrones S01E01 

Then specify a TV series folder in Project Valeries WebIF.
WebIF>Options>Sync settings.
I have a folder specified for Movies and a folder specified for Series, it 
helps PVMC know what its looking for.
Then add each series in its own folder to the Series folder.

After you have this bit of initial set up done, its onto creating the 
valerie.info file.
This is just a notepad file saved under name Valerie.info(Changing the 
extension from .txt to .info)
In this file you can add the IMDB TT and the TVDB season id to force Valerie to 
try sync data add this data in the following format "tt0000000" "tvdb00000".
As a quick example, say for the series The Sopranos, I would open the Folder, 
Right click>New>create .txt Document. Rename the .TXT to valerie.info then open 
the valerie.info and add the following data "tvdb75299" "tt0141842" in that 
format, then close and save.
Repeat for any problematic TV series and then run a Full Sync and it should 
resolve the TV sync issues.

Hope thats some help mate, and any other questions ask away...
If I can help, I will.
