Around half of my movies are added to the library using stubs. Extracting metadata is therefore not possible.
I also have a growing number of .strm files.

I named all stubs in this format:
name.year.bluray.disc
name.year.3D.bluray.disc
name.year.dvd.disc
The .strm files are just named movie.strm.

I noticed following behavior for my stub files:
- When browsing the movie library no SD/HD or 3D icons are shown.
- Within "movie information" it shows the "Bluray" icon, but not "3D" (<-is this a bug?).
I assume that "movie information" reads/displays flags if there are no corresponding entries in the DB. But nothing gets stored in the DB.

I noticed following behavior for the .strm files:
- When i browse within the addon (Amazon in my case), SD/HD icons are displayed if I have opened the stream before.
- All metadata for this stream are shown from now on in "movie information".
- But when i add a stream to the Kodi library, nothing from the above works.


So I humbly request:
Is it possible to please add missing metadata to the DB via flags?
Please look into the metadata from streams. Extraction is obviously possible, but nothing is stored within Kodi library.

I believe I have the same request relating to strm files. I rely on the addon PseudoLibrary 0.0.8 to generate strm files from a playon instance running on a networked computer. When playing said strm files from the Movies or TV Shows library, metadata displays as expected in throughout the library, including series/episode/DVD art. After starting playback, however, Kodi displays an incomprehensible string of characters and a generic artwork file.

Ideally (and I believe this is what you are requesting?), metadata would display based on the strm file selected, and not the unintelligible title displayed during playback when playback begins.

@MinoMe - as for the 3D flag - only putting "3D" in the name won't trigger anything as it requires TWO keywords to be recognized - something like .3D.HSBS.

Thank you, i will try that.

Concerning my opening post, I seem to have misunderstood the definition of metadata.
I am only talking about video/audio information like resolution, codecs, etc for which icons are displayed.
