[m.savazzi]

First, thanks to Dan, Cocotus, and m.savazzi for all the work on the recent updates. Can't remember now the last time Ember has crashed or froze. Trailer downloading was always hit or miss for me in the past, but it is working great now. Really nice being able to manually search YouTube for trailers and download them straight from Ember.

Got a question about nfo files. I've been trying to find a way to automatically create bare bones nfo files for a folder full of videos using file name as source of information.

Just like this program, but for non-music videos.

He has stopped working on it and has released the source code.

So, just wondering if it might be doable to take the code, tweak it for general videos, and turn it into a module for Ember. Looks like it uses .NET and I was hoping that might make it pretty compatible with Ember.


Here is an example of what I'm talking about.

Take the file name "s01e05 Jets vs. Stars 2-13-15.mkv" automatically create the nfo file and fill it out like:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<episodedetails>
<title>Jets vs. Stars 2-13-15</title>
<season>1</season>
<episode>5</episode>
</episodedetails>

Does not look that difficult. Only I do not understand why you need it

the naming you're using is not Kodi standard and would led in any case to some confusion and mess.
I've been using for long Advanced Renamer (is free) and is absolutely great.

You would be able to rename the movies and series with the correct folder structure AND file name with just one click and at that point Ember will create NFO not only with the few info you wrote but with all of them.
