Hey at all,
I am using Kodi since a long time for my audio collection. Now I want to do the same for my video collection. Therefore I ripped some of my DVDs to ISO and one, two of them I also transformed them to mkv. Every ISO or MKV is in its own folder which have the same names as the incuded video file.
Because I had some problems with scrapping (no poster picture, no description (or wrong language), ...) (Name of folder and file is the title of the dvd, but what is the right title for example for: "Cinderella III - Wahre Liebe siegt"? Must it be in english? Should I use 3 instead of III? Maybe without "subtitle"? Where can I find the correct year? Is it the year of the video itself or the year of the dvd itself?), I decided to use nfo-Files and told Kodi (version 17.6 for windows) it should use the local nfo-files. I generated these files using tinyMediaManager.
It works quite fine but I have some problems with the cover/title picture/poster used for the overview screens in Kodi and so on. In every folder I have a file named poster.jpg which contains the cover (poster file is not mentioned in the nfo file). Sometimes it works, I can see my picture in Kodi (I think it is my picture) (ISO image), sometimes there is no picture at all (ISO image) and sometimes there is totally another picture (MKV file). Why that? Do I have to configure something else in Kodi? Is the naming wrong (I found some hints in Kodi Wiki that poster.jpg is the recommend name for the cover file)?
Thanks alot, Szdnez
