Solved Kodi started creating nfo-files for episodes after watching
#1
Hello there. Today I noticed that Kodi has started creating nfo-files for episodes I watched and saving them in the episodes folder. This is someting I've never experienced before. Anyway I want a clean library only using parsing nfos where needed so I hope someone can help me figuring out why these start appearing one by one.

I have checked the debug log, but it didn't really make me any wiser. Available here: https://hastebin.com/edohakuxov.sql
The nfo in question (in this debug example) is "Rick.and.Morty.S02E09.nfo"

And as always I'm thankful for any help.

You are not the first to be caught out by this.

It is this... NOTICE: ADDON: script.metadata.editor v2.0.7 installed

Check the settings and disable the first option...

Kodi does no such thing unless you installed some add-on that does this for you.
Normally, only the Video Library Export function writes nfo files. Nothing else.

Oh. Should've thought of that. Thanks a lot, Karellen

Didn't mean to say it wasn't an add-on, just that it happened in Kodi.
