Skyfay 19 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Hello guys I'm here to ask you if there an option is were the order (last added) not gona destroy when i restore the System or change the path folder but with the same movies? In plex there was an option who showed the film as offline and when i added the movie with another path the movies are automaticly assigned. So is there an option that the order and metadata not gona directly deleted when i remove an libary? Thanks for help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReaper 3226 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Enable Nfo saver in particular library, refresh metadata. Upon deleting a Library, all containing movies will get removed from db. Enable Nfo reader in new library. Upon re-adding movies, metadata that you stored in the Nfos (<dateadded> tag being on them, amongst all others) will be read/imported. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you should see section for both Metadata readers and Metadata savers, above and below all the meta-providers listed. Nfos are stored next to your media, inside media folders, hence ensuring portability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and yes. 21 minutes ago, Skyfay said: And is in the nfo file also a link to TMBD Nfo will likely hold all the metadata you need, but yes, depending on your choice of scrapers, it will usually hold TMDB Id and likely IMDB Id. 21 minutes ago, Skyfay said: that the film forever chose the right metadata and images cause i‘m not save the images seperatly. You should, as that would eliminate the need to re-scrape them. Anyway, AFAIR image paths saving is off by default, you should explore Nfo plugin settings for additional options.

Last question: If i change the name form a movie cause i got more than one version from "black widow (2021)" to "black widows (2021) - 1080p" does the nfo file automaticly rename too?

GrimReaper 3226 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Of course not, you can rename it/modify contents manually or delete it and let Emby recreate it for new movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
