## Scraping TV Shows

### Scrape a Show

1. Select the TV show in your library
2. Click **Scrape** or press **⌘R**

### Multi-Source Scraping

TV show data comes from multiple sources:

## Missing Episodes

Power Scraper Pro shows you exactly which episodes you're missing.

### View Missing Episodes

1. Select a TV show
2. Look at the **Missing Episodes** section in the detail panel
3. Episodes are listed by name, number, and air date

### Understanding Episode Status

<Info>
  The Dashboard also shows missing episodes across all your shows in one view.

## Season Completion

Each season shows a completion percentage:

* **100%** — You have all aired episodes
