hi guys, I'm new here, and i'm having trouble to configure my metadata agents. I have my movies organized in folders correctly, like this :

&nbsp;

folder ( film\_name [year] )  
..........film\_name [year].avi  
..........film\_name [year].nfo  
..........film\_name [year].srt  
..........film\_name [year]-fanart.jpg  
..........film\_name [year].tbn  
subfolder...(extrafanart)...  
subfolder...(extrathumbs)...

&nbsp;

But sometimes, my Plex Media Server doesnt read my local nfo data. Anyone could me help ?

Hi,

Plex will never read any of your nfo Files by default. I may suggest you [this](http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/38402-metadata-agents-for-exported-xbmc-library/)Plugin.

This Plugin will use:

..........film\_name [year].nfo  
..........film\_name [year].srt  
..........film\_name [year]-fanart.jpg  
..........film\_name [year].tbn  
&nbsp;

Extrafanarts and Extrathumbs are not supported.

Your subtitels will used by default.

kind regards
