Hello!
I have a similar questions. I use to collect short clips about 3d animation: short movies, new software presentations, etc. I put all these in a folder that I call "3D". I use to archive some of these clips from time to time, delete some files and add some new ones downloaded from the web. So it is a changing folder but it always stays on my hard drive.
I would like this folder to appear in the video library and have some basic movie information. So how should I deal with this folder full of small clips? I found this thread :
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=118344&page=1 and I'm trying to follow CaptainKen's method. The goal is to avoid creating an NFO file for
each video file!
So in the "3D" folder, I created these files : folder.jpg and movie.nfo.
Here is my NFO content:
Code:
<movie>
<title>3d and animation short clips</title>
<originaltitle>3d</originaltitle>
<sorttitle>3d</sorttitle>
<set>3d</set>
<rating>10.000000</rating>

<role>Various roles</role>

</movie>
So as you guess, my problem is that the "3d" folder does not appear as a movie or series in the video library. Also I can't access movie information.
And By the way:
- On what should I pop up a menu then select "movie information" to access the movie information?
- In the NFO file, is it necessary to fill <filenameandpath></filenameandpath> ? What's the use of this tag?
- On the "3d" folder, what content should I state? Movies? Tv Shows, or nothing?
