Hi, 

I am working with strm files, and I have realized that nfo are not taken into account when working with strm instead of mkv directly.

I have done some test and this is what I have found:

1.  If working with mkv directly + nfo, all genres that has been personalized appear into the movie information
2.  If working with strm + nfo files, the personalized genres doesn't apper in the movie information
3.  If working with strm + nfo, if I choose as a scraper, "Local information only", Kodi doesn't find any movie at all.

So, to sum up, it seems it makes no sense to includo a NFO file when working with STRM.

I have tried either with movie.nfo and movie.nfo.strm, but none of them worked.

My problem is that I really would like that Kodi takes into account NFO files.

Any one knows how to do that when working with strm files?

the problem with the .nfo file not being read, is what I tried to explain. I mentioned why some movies, when picked up via TMDB kodi, the information was wrong. I manually update the movie to the correct one, and save a new .nfo. So when transporting the library to another location, the .nfos are not read because the .strm file has a different name than the .nfo file. The item ".mkv" contained in .strm, do not associate strm + nfo. 

Thank you for your help.  Just for the record:
-  When using a flat structure (all movies into the same directory), NFO are ignored when working with strm.
-  When having a specific folder for each movie, NFO contained into that specific folder, it is read perfectly.

So, you can use strm + NFO files for movies, just in case you have a specific directory for each movie, named "movie title (year)".

It would be great to have Kodi reading NFO files when working with strm in a flat structure.

Could be any way to request that feature from Kodi?
