Server Version#: 1.24.4.5081 Player Version#: 4.67.0 I am trying to find the correct way to import custom metadata when importing file. I tried nfo file, editing mkv file properties directly and trying to change it using API without success. I am importing automatically Twitch stream from a few s…

Hi @russprince What naming convention are you using for the artwork? I have always used the same name as the movie file plus “-poster” for poster and the same for fanart, Kodi picks those up perfectly. However, I’ve just imported my movie library into Plex per the settings we discussed above but …

i’ve always named like i mentioned above: movietitle (1999)-poster.jpg movietitle (1999)-fanart.jpg but i’ve never added any tags to my movie names, so I’ve never encountered problems that could arise with those, and I’m not sure what the order would be. possibly: movie title (1999)-poster [ta…
