I have never found it necessary to use an "NFO" file to add a movie or TV show to my KODI library... however recently I purchased a great PBS show/DVD called "Humanity from Space" and want to put it in my KODI library... (it's a single standalone show)... I transcoded it to "Humanity From Space.mp4" placed it into a directory named "Humanity From Space with the rest of my individually sub-foldered TV shows in my TV shows content directory and attempted to add it (by auto scanning for new content)... unsucessfully... as it was not listed on "TheTVdb.com"... I tried and failed to list it there myself (not sure why but it was rejected)... I then decided to add it to my library by creating an NFO file...
I went to http://kodi.wiki/view/NFO_files/tvepisodes
...and copied the NFO file... which I then renamed "Humanity From Space.nfo"... placed it in the "Humanity From Space" directory along with the "Humanity From Space.mp4" and proceeded to modify all the elements of the "Humanity From Space.nfo" file so as to have it represent the information relevant the "Humanity From Space.mp4" TV show and then scanned for new content... it just would never add it... I gave up after about a dozen NFO edits/tries...
Any assistance/clarifications would be very much appreciated...
