Windows vs Linux NFO File Formats

[feardamhan 6]

Howdy all

 

I recently attempted to port my emby server setup from windows over to linux. I save my metadata with the media, so that my kodi clients can read the same metadata. I noticed that when I ported over, my kodi clients (mac/android/linux) were all struggling to read the metadata as the NFO files were being written in linux format vs windows ( I first noticed it in the tvshow.nfo files).

 

Is this a known thing? ie can Kodi clients only read Windows format NFO metadata? I checked everywhere in Emby at there doesnt seem to be a setting for this, so I assume its just relying on the underlying operating system.

 

I've since ported back to my windows box until I figure this out.

 

Input appreciated!

Oh. Should have mentioned. That setup is Emby via Docker on Debian. Assume its the same on Debian directly, but havent personally tested. Then again....perhaps a docker quirk!

my qnap can read "windows" created nfo's - so might be a docker thing

 

any errors in the log files?
