Can this agent import the set/collection poster?
I’m building a Music Videos library and would like to group the videos by artists and show their profile pictures as a collection poster. The library is too big to do this manually, everything else I managed to do programmatically using AppleScript. This is the last piece of the puzzle to make it look perfect. Any advice?
XBMC loads the NFO metadata into Plex Database in this case movies…
Everything else uses other agents…
I was hoping the set poster to be picked up as local media asset by none of the below namings worked:
[set name]-poster.jpg
[set name]-setposter.jpg
[movie name]-setposter.jpg
setposter.jpg
set-poster.jpg
for poser it would be the movie name -poster.jpg
example;
I Am Human (2019) (tt6802922) (1080p-h264 AAC-6ch)-poster.jpg
no space before the dash…
note that Plex ignores anything in square brackets in a file name. [ ]
use () to group information.
The actual movie posters are working fine, I’m referring to the set/collection poster. Below sample movie might illustrate better my issue:
The Dark Knight (2008)
The Dark Knight (2008).mp4
The Dark Knight (2008)-poster.jpg
The Dark Knight (2008)-fanart.jpg
The Dark Knight (2008).nfo
Batman-setposter.jpg
Batman-poster.jpg
setposter.jpg
set-poster.jpg
There is no command that I know of to set the poster for collections.
I edit the collection and change the poster…
I’m very new to use this agent. I have each folder with .actors foder, i set the agent local but no thumb of actors. Where I wrong? I’m using mediaelch to create the nfo file and the movie has embed metadata…
the agent XBMCnfoMovieImporter takes the NFO file that is in the movie folder and extracts the information and put it into the Plex Database… Any information in the NFO file that doesn’t have a place in the Plex Database is ignored.
It doesn’t read the metadata embed in the movie…
Not sure what you mean here…
Is very clear what you mean. So the problem is the nfo. I need a program who write In the nfo that the pics are in the .actor folder? Which I have to use? I have to modify one by one the nfo?
.nfo is a Kodi “thing”. So use something from this ecosystem. One popular one is “Ember Media Manager”, but there are others as well.
Thanks Otto. Could I post a nfo file so you can check if is ok ?
Sorry, I have no idea how such an .nfo is supposed to look like.
Maybe try them to use with Kodi. If Kodi does read them OK, the .nfo importer will probably do the same.
I use Tiny Media Manager…
All the actor info in my NFO’s point to an online source…
That’s the point. They has to be in a local folder I suppose
Don’t know what Plex is going to do with a local file, If it’s designed to look for at an http address…
Pulled his from an NFO file…

I find a lot of Actor information pulled from online is inaccurate.
Lots of times the Actor name used is correct but references another actor…
In one case an actor was listed that is currently in his 20’s but the move was from the 50’s
I create a nfo with the url in a local folder…but no luck
proxy.txt (258 Bytes)
That text file has no url to a local folder/file in it…
What is it your trying to accomplish…
Well the strange thing is that the thumb is apparently loaded. The actor has a total black thumb, not the letter of name and surname. It look like plex find something but not the jpg. Maybe I wrong

That’s how one of my nfo’s look and it imports eveything correctly into Plex
He’s trying to have an actor’s thumbnail image be imported from the local actors folder…
so it wouldn’t be an http: but more like c:\actors\John Wayne.jpg
The testing I did hasn’t worked…
