Hello All,
I am looking for a solution to accomplish the following:
1) Add my collection of Music Videos to the Kodi Library and access them just like movies.
2) Add my collection of Music Files the Kodi Library and access them just like movies.
These are all custom files and there is no internet scrapper data available for either content type. I understand that the only way I can achieve this is to make my own .NFO files for each file. Too many files and this will be too difficult to do manual. I only really care about title, artist, perhaps year and duration tags in such .nfo file. I do not need images as I will use my own local art at a later date.
I would like to ask a couple of questions before jumping in in case other's experience may help.
- Is it in anyway possible to use a single .NFO file for all Music Videos for less clutter in folder. My quick searches lead me to believe that this is not possible.
- Is there a simple batch / script or reliable app that can take the filename and create an .NFO file with just the title and artist data as a minimum... My filenames are named: Artist - Song.mp4 so the data is there to be extracted.
So really all I want to do is take this filename as an input from this format:
Obviously something similar for my custom music files.
Any solutions or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,

And create an .NFO output like this:filename:Artist - Song.mp4
xml:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<musicvideo>
<artist>ArtistName</artist>
<title>SongTitle</title>
</musicvideo>
