Kodi like movie.nfo

[rhodges 49]

Add support for a movie.nfo file in the same directory of a movie.

• Moviename.nfo placed next to Moviename.avi where Moviename is the name of the movie file.

• movie.nfo if you use the "Use Foldername for Lookups" option, movie.nfo takes priority over any other .nfo files.

If there is only one .nfo file in a folder, The scraper will use it for all media files in that folder.

If there is only one nfo, then what does it matter what the name is? Or do you mean add support for us to read the file?

I kept seeing a lot of Moviename.xml errors in my log until I renamed all my movie.nfo files to moviename.nfo. (I have 0 xml files). It looked to me that it wasn't finding my nfo file and was falling back to the EmbyXml provider.

 

I was poking around github (for all of 5 minutes, so I'm sure I missed a lot) and I was looking at BaseVideoNfoProvider.GetXmlFile which calls to MovieNfoSaver.GetMovieSavePaths and I didn't see anything in there for a *.nfo lookup.

 

I'm sure I'm not looking in all the places. I did poke around before posting the feature request.

Did you change the metadata reader order?

 

[rhodges 49]

Yes. I verified Nfo is before Emby Xml.

 

I don't have the savers option, but I am not saving metadata back into the movie folders. I am using the nfo files for identification only.
