How To Create A Book NFO?

[mediacowboy 438]

I am trying to update my Book collection and I noticed that NFO's arent created for books. I was wondering how one might create their own NFO for storing data. I figured something like this but I wanted to check. I would also name it Book.nfo. Before anyone says anything about scraping I am manually going to do this for all my books.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?><Book>  <Plot>    Fifteen-year-old Eragon believes that he is merely a poor farm boy—until his destiny as a Dragon Rider is revealed. Gifted with only an ancient sword, a loyal dragon, and sage advice from an old storyteller, Eragon is soon swept into a dangerous tapestry of magic, glory, and power. Now his choices could save—or destroy—the Empire.  </Plot>  <lockdata>false</lockdata>  <dateadded>2016-04-16 21:56:29</dateadded>  <title>Eragon</title>  <Series>the inheritance cycle</Series>  <Series Number>1</Series Number>  <year>2003</year>  <releasedate>2003-8-26</releasedate>  <ISBN> 0375840540 </ISBN>  <Printed Length>528 Pages</Printed Length>  <Author>Christopher Paolini</Author>  <art>    <poster>\\ROBINSON-MEDIA\MediaBook's\Eragon (The Inheritance Cycle - 1)\Eragon (The Inheritance Cycle - 1).jpg</poster>  </art></Book>

My book library is setup like the following.



So even if we could scrape some of that date. Example:
Title (Series - Number in Series)

Title = title
Sort name = series - number in series

Overview = Plot

 

This is how some of it would look.

 

 

Book View

 

 

Even if this was rolled into the MB Bookshelf. Which needs a new name Emby Books maybe.

 

P.S. Sorry for all the edits. As the thoughts on how this could be implemented logically come to me I am updating. I can't program my way out of a wet paper sack so I would need help creating a plug in.

There currently is no nfo support for books. Hopefully someone will take ownership of the Bookshelf plugin and help improve it.
