Hey All… I’m working on a custom scanner/agent for my own use. I’m wondering if there is a way to set advance options when creating Show/Series. I have a library using Series Type videos and I know that when I add a new Series it will need certain settings such as a change to what episodes to keep and when episodes are deleted.

So far I don’t see a way to make these changes when creating the new Show. Does anyone have ideas how to do this either at the Scanner/Agent level or using an API call?  
TIA.
