Hello,
I'm a newby user of Kodi. That was a incredible surprise for me. It is just wonderful.
I need some help to better understand if there is a way to solve an issue I have using .nfo file.
I' d like to build a library of all my movies (more thar 4000). They are located on a coupple of NAS.
Up to know I have read the guides and spent considerable ammount of time experimenting to try to setup my library correctly.
I do have the following contrains:
1) the movie are located in several directories of the Nas
2) I don't want to create one folder for each movie, because other sistems I have at home requires the movie to be in one directory
3) Not all my movie are named the way they shoud be ( correct title (year).ext ) and I'd like to avoide renaming (if possible)
I've run the kodi scraping to build the library and, as expected, not all the movie were sacraped correcty. At the end of the process about a thousand of them need to be scraped again by manually modifiyng the movie title.
To avoid this huge amount of work, I' ve used "tiny media manager" to scrape all my movie directories to buil a .nfo file claimed to be for kodi 17+. In this way in about half day I was able to have all my movie corretly identified in tiny media manager.
Tiny media manager adds up to 10 additional files for each movie. For exampe for the movie "Furious 6 - HD-e0-a8-18w.ts" it creates "Furious 6 - HD-e0-a8-18w.nfo" and "Furious 6 - HD-e0-a8-18w-poster.jpg"
Since each movie in my directories has a corrispondant *.nfo file, I thought this would be enough to have kodi scraping correctly each movie and build the library automatically. But this was not the case. It seems that kodi does do anything with the provided .nfo file. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if this is the actual limitation of Kodi. Below the content of the "Furious 6 - HD-e0-a8-18w.nfo" file.
mod edit - nfo file moved to paste site - please do not post large blocks of code or similar text to the forum
