Nfo Metadata Movie.nfo

[rhodges 49]

Can we get an option to prioritize movie.nfo over name_of_movie.nfo?

Here it gets the first one:
https://github.com/MediaBrowser/NfoMetadata/blob/3ed5dc71d16f1140032eb98c9b1d429d49782f9c/NfoMetadata/Savers/MovieNfoSaver.cs#L30

Here it prioritizes the name_of_movie.nfo:
https://github.com/MediaBrowser/NfoMetadata/blob/3ed5dc71d16f1140032eb98c9b1d429d49782f9c/NfoMetadata/Savers/MovieNfoSaver.cs#L143-L158

I want to always save/read a movie.nfo that sites beside my movie.mkv

I have a custom plugin that wraps around this plug, just to override the paths, but I'd like to stop maintaining it.

Edit: Are PR welcome? I could add a simple checkbox in settings to "Prefer movie.nfo"

HI, there's no reason why this can't be added, but isn't name_of_movie.nfo arguably more specific?

I think it may be easier from a programming approach to deal with a single filename everywhere rather than trying to parse the movie file name to get the NFO file name.

It also makes it easier to keep the changes across upgrades/deletes since the movie filename may get changed and the older filename-based NFO will not be used.

I thought I'd give it a go and submitted a PR:
