Raboo 0 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Hi, Some movies have troubles identifying, I assume cause the .nfo file is in wrong format. You can read more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix2dos In metadata manager you see the whole .nfo file in the IMDb Id: field. So basically everything is in one line with lots of ascii art symbols/characters not properly recognized as ��� Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36884 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 can you post a sample file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raboo 0 Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) attached Update: This file is of the Windows/DOS format. And emby server is running on a FreeBSD server. the.fault.in.our.stars.2014.720p.bluray.x264-sparks.nfo: ISO-8859 text, with CRLF line terminators the.fault.in.our.stars.2014.720p.bluray.x264-sparks.nfo.zip Edited July 14, 2015 by Raboo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 36884 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 ok, yea, we don't support that right now, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raboo 0 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 Got an idea for an easy fix. How about pipeing .nfo file reads thru the command "strings" (or all metadata file reads)? strings - print the strings of printable characters in files.

josh4trunks 70 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) @@Luke I remember you added the ability for Emby to identify a movie if the NFO just contains an IMDB URL (which is what I have CouchPotato do for me). I noticed that file has an IMDB URL, maybe just do a regex match and grab it when the NFO isn't formatted using the standard NFO structure? this would solve both the case of these artistic NFOs and the super simple ones CouchPotato produces.

gshipley 0 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Just wondering if there is a workaround for this. I just signed up for lifetime supporter and am trying to move away from Plex. I installed emby tonight via docker container running on linux and I would guestimate 20% of my nfo files are scraped like the OP stated. I am fine cleaning them up if anyone knows of a tool to help do so. I can go through the existing ones in the metadata manager and manually fix them but I am mostly worried about new content that is added and having to go in and manage them - so I am looking for an automated way. I do use CP as josh3trunks stated a possible workaround there. I assume I just enable create NFO with only imdb link under the XBMC/Kodi metatdata settings.

Luke 36884 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 can you provide some examples as well as the nfo files? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh4trunks 70 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I assume I just enable create NFO with only imdb link under the XBMC/Kodi metatdata settings. That's exactly what I do and it works perfectly. Also, couchpotato now has Emby notification support, so you can have movies added to Emby as soon as they are post-processed by CP.

Luke 36884 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Well as it turns out you're in luck anyway because someone else has been providing me with examples https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/issues/1160 It's the nfo's with the old ascii art. who in their right mind takes the time to design those. well that's another story i suppose, but at least now we can parse the imdb id out of them.
