Hi, I have several questions relating to stub files.
1. All of my 3D movies are ISO files. I have no SBS or TAB files. I Prefer to back up my media in original quality. How to I handle this with the stub files. Wiki says 3D AND the type of media file are BOTH required.
2. How to I show "Theatrical", "Extended", "Special Edition" Or "Directors Cut" in the filename. I tried (for example "Aliens Directors Cut (1986).bluray.disc" but it doesn't seem to find the title when it is scraped
3. Is there a way to add an extra line to the .disc file. For example, I want to specify the location of the disc, but also that there are 3D, Blu-ray, 4K, DVD, extended, special edition etc versions also available.
4. Windows will not allow : (Colon) in file names. So movies like AVP: Requiem have to be renamed to just "AVP Requiem"
5. I have created about 6,000 stub files. Took me the best part of a year on and off. More than half of those are TV episodes, and each one of those requires its own stub file. Is there a better way to do this?
6. I had my stubs located in the same place as media files, but since Kodi is not the only program used to watch content (Some people just browse with windows and use Potplayer or VLC), I got complaints about "All these .disc files make it hard to find the actual movies". My movies are stored in folders by Genre. I ended up creating a folder called "On Disc" in my source, but the movies don't show up in the same location (of course) when you're browsing the library.. Guess I want my cake and be able to eat it too
7. I have a lot of documentaries. I'd estimate 1 in 25 would pick up the correct name. Many of them are not on TVDB, IMDB etc. I also have a lot of stand up comedy. Same issues.... Wrong names, wrong metadata etc... How to resolve?
I know there are a lot of questions. I did ask some time ago if it was OK to ask multiple questions in a single post and since they are all of one subject - stub files - I'm hoping I'm safe.
