As my collection is about 3400 videos, at least someone else did it "hard way" too I got spoiled with Mediaportal and that music video plugin, but then again, I did not have all the info there either, I just had ALL my music videos listed in the same nice view, regardless of media info or not. That was the most important thing. But I guess I'll have to go through that manually .nfo editing process too, as that SHOULD be worth it in the end with all the info I'll ever need, and although no-one can predict the future, I think it would be safe to say that .nfo -files are not going to be abandoned any time soon even if media player softwares, like Kodi, would change. Or at least then there should be some software that would read that info from those .nfo files anyway and convert them to whatever new media info format there will be in the future I'll just need to take it slow...(2017-11-16, 10:00)Gilean Wrote: Yes, I understand that, but have you manually edited all those .nfo -files for live videos and whatnot, since I guess they are not scraped correctly automatically? Maybe you copied original .nfo file and then just modified filename and title-tag accordingly? I am just wondering if there was some way to do that automatically, as I have maybe 1000 videos that are not scraped correctly (they are either live-videos or Finnish music videos that are not found in IMDVB database) ?
Yep, for me I had to change all my .NFO files (and at the time, I had nearly 5K Music Videos, but after going through them all, am down to just over 4K). Yes it sucks, and it took me several months (on an off as I felt the urge to do some). Normally what I would do, is go through a single letter in the alphabet.
Trust me, I wish there was a tool at the time that could do it for me, but there wasn't, so lots of work for me.
In the End however, it now looks and works with Kodi flawlessly. Which at the end of the day, is what I wanted. By the way, the same thing was happening with the Music section until 2 things changed... 1. Dave Blake took over doing updates to Music in Kodi (all praise Dave). 2, Music support in MediaElch (the only scrapper that does this) showed up, and I was able to scrape all my music, creating NFO files, and getting all the artwork, and artist information.
