Hi all, I am pretty sure there is already an answer, but after 30 Minutes of searching i gave up.

I have some movie files which are not shown. The Scrapper seems to have troubles. So I went to themoviedb.org and searched on my own, saved the ID and placed it into a nfo file with the same name as the movie.

Now the movies is shown in my list but with no external informations (Fanart, Ratings, descriptons, etc). I have also tried different providers (eg imdb) but still empty.

The only thing I see in my list is the Movie name, duration and as Cover a random blurry frame captured from the moviefile itself.

Unfortunately the Kodi-Wiki is not providing any real example, just syntax options.

Filename Movie: Die nackte Kanone 33 1'3.avi
Filename nfo: Die nackte Kanone 33 1'3.nfo
moviedb entry: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/36593-t...nal-insult

NFO content:

xml:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

<movie>

<title>Die nackte Kanone 33 1/3</title>

<uniqueid type="tmdb" default="true">36593</uniqueid>

</movie>

No, that nfo file won't work.
You want a parsing nfo file... https://kodi.wiki/view/NFO_files/Parsing
The only thing it contains is the URL to the movie, just like you provided in "moviedb entry:"

So simple! But I really have not found it on my own. Thank you so much!

Although i don't get what is uniqueid for in the XML definition if not exactly for that? As I said, nothing was shown from the database in my view.

Can I combine both variants somehow? I like the idea to force Kodi to my title in a nfo file.

Yeah, both works!

Filename Movie: Die nackte Kanone 33 1'3.avi
Filename nfo: Die nackte Kanone 33 1'3.nfo
moviedb entry: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/36593-t...nal-insult

NFO content:

xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

<movie>

<title>Die nackte Kanone 33 1/3</title>

</movie>

Yeah, both works!

Yep. That is a Combination NFO file... https://kodi.wiki/view/NFO_files/Combination

Sounds like you have now used all 3 types of nfo files- The normal Full Metadata nfo file, Parsing NFO file and Combination NFO file.

Oh man, now the Wiki is crystal clear to me. Cant tell why I draw a blank before, but I did not get it and stuck somehow in my first view. Thank you so much.
