Hi All,
This is long overdue, moving to KODI.
With my current structure and file names, I can't figure out what KODI will recognize and what i need to change. Below is my structure, which was common a decade ago. Movie data is all from TheMovieDB and TV show data is from TheTVDB. I've been using the application Media Center Master to grab and create this data and structure.
Movies Folders - Each movie has its own folder
Trailers (folder contains trailer.mp4)
backdrop.jpg (backdrops that are numbered)
basic_movie_info.nfo (It only contains an IMDB URL for the movie, nothing else)
folder.jpg (Poster image)
movie.xml (Has all the movie details, actor names, video specs, so on)
TV Shows - One Folder for Each Show
series.xml (contains show details, air time, actors, overview, so on)
Season Folder
folder.jpg (Poster for that season)
Metadata Folder for Each Season
S01E01 - Episode Name.xml (contains episode details, overview, and video specs)
