So i have given up on https://archive.codeplex.com/?p=popatopdad

Works for exactly what i need, but sadly doesn't seem to work for anything that's not English, I'm trying to create nfos for music videos in russian

Or anyway to scrape/ create nfos for music videos, audiodb/imvdb are very poor when it comes to unpopular / non-english songs.

Is there any NFO creator that will do what i want?

I just need it to make nfos for my library, all it needs to do is

>Musicvideo<
>title<

I have never seen that program before. I guess it is old as it uses XBMC instead of Kodi, but the copyright is 2018. Is it still maintained?

You don't need a program to create nfo files. Create your own.

There is a template in the link below. Copy it into your own file and fill it out...

I know that it's not hard, but it's time consuming, i have lot's of videos.

[Karellen]

The problem seems to be that very few of the scraper sites that Kodi uses has comprehensive (or any) listings in Russian.

A different nfo creator program will not fix that. Are you aware of that, or are you hoping a different program will find information in Russian language?

Anyway, the only music video media manager I know of is this... https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=129134

==Edit==
Maybe @docwra might have a suggestion

[scott967]

If you just want to get musicvideos into the video library, if they are mp4 you can use tagging software to add title, artist, album, track no, genre, and cover art (poster).  It might also work for mkv but I haven't tested.  You need to enable video file tag reading in the settings (default is off/no).  Mp3tag is a freeware one (despite the name it tags various file formats).

I just tested this as I wanted to update the wiki but couldn't get it working with a test music video with the latest nightly.

I tried adding the MP4 tags with mp3tag, enabled video tag scanning in Kodi and then scanned with Kodi but got nothing, then when pressing "I" on the video file in the file view Kodi crashes.

Currently the best (and only) Music Video scraper is Media Companion 3...

https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=129134

It actually really cleans up the artwork, and info for the Artists, for Music Videos. I've started using it on my 4000+ Music Video library with great results so far.

 Didn't see anything of concern in the log unfortunately. I will have to pull a nightly though as I was testing on 18.4.

If you are on windows you can use this batch file.
(video for proof)

It'll create nfo recursively. BUT IT'll OVERWRITE EXISTING ONES
i recommend using

folder/file.ext
artistname - title/artistname - title.ext

even if it'll work if all files are in one folder.

I am just unable to split artist and title from path, so artist and title will be the same.

Best Practice will be

1. Do lib Scan
2. Run Batch File
3. Export Library (will force overwrite existing file nfo)
4. rescan library
