![]() I just wanted to post this thread real quick to help anyone with the issues I have faced with PTVL in the past. As many are aware, there are some users that have issues with tv shows not starting at the right times, durations being incorrect, and the question of what role NFO files play within PTVL and how this information is used to generate channel lineups and accurate guide data. I have seen many conversations where people have argued as to whether or not the information in your NFO files will affect the way PTVL operates. I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that it does. So far, I have only used the movies importer and it feels quite clunky. If your NFO data is incorrect, Kodi will use this incorrect data within it's own media library. There appear to be two primary NFO importers used by the Plex community: XBMCnfoMoviesImporter and XBMCnfoTVImporter for movies and TV shows, respectively. Remember that PTVL can only use the information that it is given. They also support bonus features such as behind the. movie.nfo Kodi may also scan nfo files named movie.nfo. We recommend using this filename format to name nfo files. .nfo NFO Files are named the same as the video file except with the. Both are explained and Kodi recommends using the .nfo format.![]() when an mp3 in the same folder is labeled 'theme.mp3'. There are two naming schemes for movie nfo files. They also support audio files to play as background music on the Movie or TV shows info page. Just like any computer program if you put in garbage, you will get garbage back. Plex can recognize poster and background art, if its located in the same folder as the media, and named as 'poster.jpg', 'background.jpg' etc. I initially tackled this issue when trying to incorporate music videos into my channel lineup, using a custom playlist and only local content. One thing I noticed is every time I switched to a music video channel, it was almost completely random as to where it would land. Many times I would change channels and see a video that played hours ago, playing again. The same thing went for tv shows, although the music videos were more of a problem. Some background: I imported my music videos using a plugin called justusethefilename, which meant that the videos were being imported with next to no data whatsoever.Äigging into the NFO file structure there are two sections that carry runtime for a video. The first is runtime, which is recorded using minutes. So a movie that is one hour long will show 60 under this tag. #TINYMEDIAMANAGER NFO RAR SPLITTED MOVIE# #TINYMEDIAMANAGER NFO RAR SPLITTED MOVIE#.In addition, of the episode/specials that were there, they were not divided into seasons. When I looked at the library it appears that the anime was partially added but a lot of episodes and specials weren't there. My setup now is set to be either a 95 match between the file name and a movie on TMDb, or it ask me to verify. of tinyMediaManager (update data sources, scrape, write/read NFO files. With this function, you are able to call tinyMediaManager functions from other tools. Don't know why they do it that way.) Unfortunately tinymediamanager does not use NFO's or anything (that I can find) to identify the movies outside of the movie and/or folder name. When I did this and tried to scan the anime in question to the library, it seemed like it worked at first but the process stopped at 31%. Once a movie or TV show has been imported into Kodi, Kodi does not react on. I'm including a second debug file, because I thought the lack of NFO file might be giving Kodi trouble (even though I seem to remember other TV shows which also had one or a few video files without corresponding NFO files). That debug log file is at RV8 No video files were added to the library at all. The first included a video file in the show folder for which I did not make an NFO file in TMM (I had two versions of an opening/closing sequence and just wanted one added to the library). The app can import TV shows and recognize the episode you want or get subtitles. These are films that are grouped by genre or topic or any other organizing principle you choose. I tried using an anime focused scraper called AniDB but it didn't work for me and then refused to be uninstalled so that i had to reinstall LibreELEC on my Android box and import my library from a backup. TinyMediaManager enables the user to create sets of movies. I also dont want to add each individual file one by one to my library because some anime series have a lot of special mini episodes. Having Kodi fetch the metadata and artwork itself isnt desirable because since it's anime, it includes a bunch of video files such as opening/closing episode sequences and specials which aren't even listed in TheTVDB. There is one anime series that I have been unable to add to my library. This method has worked for me with hundreds of other TV shows and movies. I have my movies and TV shows on USB drives and use TinyMediaManager to prefetch metadata and artwork.
