Metadata not being read from .nfo

[horstepipe 422]

hey

I switched to the new Synology ARM package, at the moment ffmpeg is not supported, yet. I re-imported my database, metadata is saved in .nfo files

Unfortunately, Emby doesn't recognize it. Does ffmpeg have to be available to show metadata although the information is already saved in .nfo file?

 

Emby Server Version 3.1.97.0 running on Synology DS414 (ArmadaXP)

Yea we don't use media info from nfo's in Emby. We write it so that Kodi can see it, but we need more accurate information then that in order to successfully stream and transcode.

This query refers to a pre-release in development package that is not in the public domain, so may be misleading.

 

The behaviour is expected, as FFprobe is not currently available, as opposed to FFmpeg.
