Improve TV show scanning
There are features that XBMC supports regarding media scanning that would be good to have (and not that difficult to implement).

- Use parent folder as a fallback when identifying series
All the TV shows that I have are organised in a folder per show. I would guess this is a fairly common situation. If the video parser can't identify the TV show from the filename alone then the name of the folder should be tried. For example:
Stargate Atlantis/
Should be correctly detected as Stargate Atlantis season 1 episode 3.
- Support multiple episodes per file
This is very common with series pilots and occasionally happens for general two parters. Also if you have a DVD of a series ripped as a single file.
Friends.
Should be correctly detected as Friends season 1 episodes 1, 2, 3 and 4 and trying to play any of those should just play the file.
