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. Some other priorities got in the way of that but today I wanted to share the first preview build to get some feedback and test it out in t…

We mostly ignore the season nfo as it hardly ever gets used by anyone. For season names, that’s part of the show nfo (see https://kodi.wiki/view/NFO_files/Templates ) e.g. <namedseason number="1">Season 1</namedseason> <namedseason number="2">Season 2</namedseason> <namedseason number=…

That would likely have to come from a season.nfo file, using the <plot> element. This stuff should be pretty easy to add as we already read the season nfo, but just don’t do much with it yet.

I’ve sorted out the no id episode issue and added the additional season metadata (including the season titles), I’ll try to post a new build on Monday.

About time.. been waiting for this feature for like 9 years :joy: I have a huge library of personal videos and thousands of Tutorials downloaded from subscriptions I’ve paid for.. Took me about a year to create the metadata and get it perfect.. Upgraded to DSM 7 and lost my Plex and the database.. …

First of all, thank you. This feature was needed and is extremely appreciated. I have one question regarding the way the actors pics are retrieved to match local metadata .nfo. My doubt is that it does not match the pic I have in the .actors folder of the movie, so it must come from somewhere else.…

Not until they fix their new build platform … no updates or alternate builds for QNAP until then.
