afullmark 20 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I have broken up my media folders and separated out those that require an .nfo file – operas and concerts etc that plex cannot identify – so that specific library only uses the third party XBMCnfoTVimporter or XBMCnfoMovieimporter; so these libraries contain folders that all have .nfo files. While the others use the regular 'PlexMovie' agent or the 'TheTVDB'. Before and if i migrate to Emby i would like to ask a couple of questions: As i understand it, .nfo use is a built-in feature of the Emby server; so, can I assign Emby to just use .nfo for those specific libraries that exclusively use .nfo? As to the other libraries that do no use .nfo files, can i be sure that Emby will not place any extra files in the folders for shows/Movies that do not use .nfo files. I will probably be running plex and emby in parallel for a while so I wanted to know if Emby added any extra files to show or movie folder; so, if I have: Movie Name (Movie date) ---------Movie Name (Movie date).mkv I wanted to make sure Emby will not add any other files to the folder. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37022 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 1 - yes 2 - by default the server won't save anything to local media folders. you have to specifically opt into this by enabling the per-library option to save metadata to local media folders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
