1. Find a software which lets you generate XBMC compatible .nfo files (Ember Media Manager for instance under Windows)

2. Install the [XBMC import agents](https://forums.plex.tv/topic/38402-metadata-agents-for-exported-xbmc-library/)

3. Set primary metadata agent of home video library to 'XBMCnfoMoviesImporter'

3. Profit!
