Even scanning the folder afterwards for new content makes no difference. It looks like the metadata is coming direct from Netflix, but minus the above extras. The only way I found to get that info, is to do a manual refresh of each item after it's been exported and re-scrape it.
Maybe (I don't know because I don't use this option) you have ticked the 'Enable NFO files export' option under the 'Library' section in the addon settings. I assume this creates a .nfo file for each exported item (filled with data from Netflix) which is probably scraped by default on that first automatic library update after you export something. That would also explain why you get what you want after a manual refresh, as that would be scraping TMDb or TheTVDB (or whatever you have set).
Where it IS useful however is for things like Money Heist, Terrace House, where the netflix season order is totally different to that on TVDB etc, so it means you can populate proper meta data as opposed to tvdb saying "nah, dunno what that is"
Personally i am selective of what nfo's i grab. if its a regular show with seasons that marry with tvdb i dont pull the nfo, but if its something weird i do
from github on the genre thing
Quote:Episodes names are those as seen in NF and exported as is. Remember the NFO will have priority over online data (unless it was scanned before exporting the NFO then it remembers the data unless you refresh the episode)
Genres and cast can't be retreived with that method, it would overload the servers too much in some case so we choose not to add it.
About the release date, we only have the year, and it seems it's not sufficient for Kodi. If someone have an idea, please share.
The NFO feature goal is not to get all the information a scrapper could retreive, but to ensure all episodes are detected by the library and can be played.
