I am not sure from your above file structure if this is Kodi compatible or MC compatible.
If you can advise me which is working and which is not, I will investigate further.

The above BDMV file system is the way kodi can handle it without problems (+additional stuff, .actors, trailer, extrafanarts...) and just as it is storaged in my db
Media Companion editing only possible with a fake/placebo video file, or i edit the .nfo myself
 

If using the VIDEO_TS structure, then the playable file is VIDEO_TS.IFO. So Kodi is polling this file for stream information, and won't find any.

Didn't know that, great thanks thanks for the education.
I know VIDEO_TS is more than outdated... i suppose that it works at all is more kind of a Legacy support.
Admittedly, of course I thought "if any other media player can show the correct runtime why not Kodi too"
 

No matter what <fileinfo> <streamdetails> you add, Kodi won't read them from the NFO File. It will read them directly from the video file, so don't waste your time trying to get them correct in the NFO Files.

I hope that nobody will have missed that, who's already playing around with .nfo's for a while

Hope you all had a nice holiday too!
