Hi everyone! Official support for NFO files has been a highly requested feature for a long time and we promised it would be coming towards the end of last year.

There is a Python Library CLI called Plex2NFO. I took that Library and adapted it to support TV shows as well. It uses the PlexAPI Python library to read all the information from your server and download and create the NFO files locally using XML.ElementTree. Pretty simple to use; if you are a Dev, …
