I have spent weeks unsuccessfully trying to update the "plot" of my home movies.
In fact, other other items started vanishing (like my votes, icons, and artwork). Basically how do I refresh an NFO file? I deleted and re-added my source. Changed the Content from None then back to NFO. Rescanned. Updated from IDMB and switched back. Cleaned up the library. Renamed my NFO. But nothing is working. I have read all the wiki and forums but have no idea what am I missing? Something seems to be resident and I cannot remove it.
Thanks much.

Thanks for all the help. My artwork is in the file folders. To be honest, not sure I doing the local artwork correctly. I only use "poster.jpg" and "fanart.jpg". I wasn't able to find a lot of literature on artwork. I know there is clearlogo and bunch of other artwork options, but the wiki is not that intuitive for a noob like me. I sort of stick to the basics.
I removed my source and then cleaned library. Re-added the source and it seems it might be updating now. I am running a few more tests. Regarding the nfo file name, I played around with a ton of naming conventions including "video_ts", "index", and the file name. Again, I wasn't clear what was wrong or right.

Well, I am absolutely baffled once again. I made a few changes to the nfo file - such as the title, plot, tagline, and aspect. And POOF ... it all went away again when I tried to refresh. All that showed up was the new title. Even the tags on the bottom disappeared. This is so frustrating. Obviously I am not following the proper procedures but where am I going wrong?

OK, nothing has changed. I am obviously unable to follow instructions on how to locally use NFO files. My video library is an absolute mess. I restarted from scratch and listed my home movies as per the instructions (or not, apparently). I have spent months trying to simply add my own information for my home movies but it has been disastrous.
The refresh does nothing, and to make matters even more infuriating and frustrating, each individual video within the VIDEO_TS file are scanned into my library - so I get many multiple entries of one movie title. I have tried every setting but nothing changes, the get scanned in. I just cannot seem to get it figured out. What am I missing?

This is my step by step:
I remove all my sources.
Clean Library.
Add video source in library, pick my directory where the movies reside.
Select Directory contains Movies
Select Information Provider "local info"
I have toggled on/off separate folders, recursive, excluding ~ nothing really changes but different issues
select "OK" to refresh items in path
