To make your own .nfo files simply create a new text document, type in (copy and paste) the information for your tv show and tv episode(s). When finished rename it and change the ".txt" at the end to ".nfo"
Note: you need to have "view file extensions" enabled in your folder options which you can change via control panel.
Here is all you need
Code:
<tvshow xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<title>TV SHOW TITLE</title>
<rating>10.0</rating>
<plot>SHOW PLOT</plot>
<genre>Documentary</genre>
<premiered>1969-02-14<premiered />
<studio>International</studio>
</tvshow>
Name this file "tvshow.nfo" and place it in the folder that contains the documentary(ies). NOTE: That is
tvshow.nfo and NOT the actual name of the television show/series etc. You only need one of these per TV show.
For the second .nfo file use this:
Code:
<episodedetails xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<title>EPISODE TITLE</title>
<season>0</season>
<episode>0</episode>
<aired>2011</aired>
<plot>EPISODE PLOT</plot>
<displayseason />
<displayepisode />
<watched>false</watched>
<rating />
</episodedetails>
You need one of these .nfo files for EACH EPISODE in your folder. Simply name them the same as your tv episode file. Example:
Histories.Mysteries.s1e54.Who.Shot.JFK.avi
Histories.Mysteries.s1e54.Who.Shot.JFK.nfo
Histories.Mysteries.s1e54.Who.Shot.JFK.tbn = the picture library mode will show for this episode (rename ".jpg" extension to ".tbn")
Now to make it look pretty, google "Histories Mysteries Who Shot JFK" Under web you should find matches to the history channel (or other websites) that will provide "plot" information and sometimes good pictures to use. Another source of pictures is google images. You can get your tv show fanart, thumbnails, and poster/banners this way.
Name them "fanart.jpg" and "folder.jpg"
fanart is the big background picture
folder is the tv show banner or poster
This may seem like a lot at first but once you get the hang of it... it takes 5-10 minutes
