TMDB Scraper - just URL parsing in NFO files?

$

Hi folks, nice to be here, I'm new to the forums, hailing from Germany...

First, I am not a techie, but I do get along.
Just a short question concerning NFO files...

I use Kodi 16 Jarvis on OpenElec 7 on an Asrock HTPC, my files are on an external USB HDD, movies and tvshows in separate directories, and each movie / tvshow has its own directory, named after the movie / tvshow and airing date (e.g. "Inglourious Basterds (2009)").
Scraping via TMBD usually works fine, I recently found out how to substitute "*" of a tvshow name in the file name on the HDD (tvshow name: "The End of the f***ing World", filename: "The End of the f---ing World") ;-)
Until this point, the scraper didn't find this particular tvshow und so didn't add it to the library.

I was wondering - I usually put the movie.nfo / tvshow.nfo in the directory of the movie / tvshow, consisting only of the corresponding TMDB URL , with no XML tags (in this case: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/74577-the-...king-world )
Shouldn't have the scraper parsed the URL in the NFO if he couldn't use the directory name?
If not, do I really need to add XML tags for the URL?

According to https://kodi.wiki/view/NFO_files/movies, the URL should be sufficient?
"When Kodi locates the nfo file it will load the *.nfo file and:
[...]
2. If the file is a parsing nfo, Kodi will parse the nfo file for a direct URL to the scraper info page, then scrape the online metadata."

I would appreciate if someone could help me with this...
