Interesting, didn't know cheers. Personally, I prefer less clutter in my folders . In case the addons collection of media data from STRMs causes interference with Kodi and its handling of NFOs, it can be disabled. The addon, when generating STRMs, will also scan the filename for any relevant media information . So for example, a movie named "The.Emoji.Movie.2017.BluRay.1080p.DTS.HD-MA.5.1.x264.dxva-XX.mkv", the addon will detect the audio channels as 5.1, audio codec as DTS and video codec as x264 and feed that info to the video library. It will also collect the resolution and duration of the vid from Google. And if you are a connoisseur of original movie titles, the addon will cleanup the title and reference TMDB for a sparkling clean movie title.

Thank you for the additional information of how it works, very interesting, I will definitely try it.
I don't like clutter too.. But I love my nfo files because they include my own personal edits too that differ from TMDB, TVDB etc and I don't want them to get lost any time I re-scrape my library. So I will keep using them even if I remove the mediainfo from them and get it from the strms.
