This will create an NFO file for each of the movies, TV shows, episodes and music video files that details all of the information relating to video title in the library, including your ratings. Each NFO file will be placed into the source folder of your video file. When re-adding and scraping your library on a new installation, the details from these NFO files will take precedence.
Some basic things to remember when exporting:-
1) Opt for exporting into 'separate' files (This will create an individual NFO file and place it into the source folder for each of your video files, ie movie, TV show, episode etc)
2) 'No' to exporting fanart and thumbs (be careful with this one, as saying Yes will export all of the cached images on your current Kodi installation back to the source folder of the video file and these are a lot smaller in size and quality. I made this mistake once where I kept exporting artwork, ultimately resulting in very pixelated images being in my video file source folder and thus my Kodi library)
3) 'Yes' to overwrite previous files. Obviously you want your current rating edits and any other changes you make to be written to the NFO file(s).

Hope this helps

The original author of that particular addon has not been active here on the Kodi forum for well over 3+ years. The problems you are currently seeing might well be down to the addon itself. That being the case, any problems are very unlikely to be resolved anytime soon. Probably you could tweak the OSD button quite easily to open the Embuary Info addon instead, which I understand does a similar thing and has a developer/author who is still active.

But the item I miss the most, is the button in the OSD to open the embuary info script (which is really good). Because, when clicking on the "I" in the OSD (when watching a movie) gives us only the actor and some small information (no crew, no similar, ...). When even clicking on a actor, it does nothing. It would be great if there is a suppl button, which opens the embuary info script, because there is more info on this script. As you know, this skin on Kodi 18.9 had this extra button. Is it really not possible to bring this back ? Tnx.

It's not a problem (for me) to (re)implement this button again and link to embuary info content. I would not have thought that the additional information would be given such importanceOoh, really ! That would be great. Looking forward to it. I owe you one. 😉

Clicking I+ should close the OSD at first and then call the embuary script. Maybe there are no infos for your movie/tv show?There was indeed something wrong with some movies. Works fine now. Tnx a lot.
