If you disable scraping, where is the metadata coming from?
every media in my collection has either mp4 tags of mp3 tags in them.
mp4 tags
The "Lyrics" attribute is used basically for a free form metadata field.
The mp4tags are read and displayed by mp4info or mp3info
The Thumbnails are stored in the media file.
When any file is added to the media collections all the necessary metadata information
is all ready known and added to the media file. There is no further need to scrape additional
metadata. This is particularly true of media from iTunes.
The audio files have cover art and nearly all the mp4tags metadata filled in.
Movies, TV programs and Misc. Videos likewise. If something is missing I generally add
it when I view the media file or when performing maintenance on the filesystems.
I very seldom have to search for additional metadata.
I have no idea what an NFO file structure looks like.
