hi there
has somebody figured out how to read and display the status of a tv show from an .nfo file?
i’m using the XBMCnfoTVImporter agent to read my own scraped information (from tinyMediaManager) and in the tvshow.nfo file there is always an information about the current status of the show, but i cannot figure out how to display it in plex.

it doesn’t have to be updated automatically by refreshing the metadata or something, i just want to get it read from the .nfo file and displayed anywhere. any suggestions / ideas on this?

thanks + regards

Plex does not have option or UI to display the status information (End/Continuing).

Tags (‘genre’ or ‘collections’) could include “ended” or “continuing” for tv series and UI would allow filtering those…

thank you both for the hints. will try to make it somehow in the xbmc-agent.

5

have coded it in the beta release, check common.py there is a function for subbed/dubbed tag, video extensio, Continuing/Ended tags…

thank you for your answer!
i asked the developer of the XBMCnfoTVImporter-plugin directly, he accepted to add it in the plugin:
github.com/gboudreau/XBMCnfoTVImporter.bundle/issues/88.
sorry, forgot to mention it here.
