Re: Scrape metadata and build NFO
Sorry, I'm getting all confused by the . and * inputs. It's becoming too complicated. Tbh, all I need is something to generate the NFO file. I'm using Kodi, not Plex, so I don't think the amc script is going to help. For the input, can I just specify a full path to a folder, like a usual Linux ...

Re: Scrape metadata and build NFO
OK, I just tried that (i.e., putting the NFO file where you suggest), but I'm getting "Movie not found" errors for each file in the VIDEO_TS folder. My Filebot command line looks like this: filebot -rename -r "/Latest/MyMovie (2021) -- Some Director" --db TheMovieDB -non-strict --action duplicate ...

Re: Scrape metadata and build NFO
OK, I will try to upgrade to that version, thanks! Meanwhile, I am confused about something related — evidently I am doing something wrong. As you mentioned, ISO files should be unpacked into VIDEO_TS folders. Agree this is a good idea. After unpacking, I have a folder, e.g., /Latest/MyMovie (2021) ...

Re: Scrape metadata and build NFO
That all sounds good, thanks ! You're right about converting ISO files. I have been using 7x for that, but I should do all of them. When you say FileBot doesn't use/scrape IMDB, do you mean it primarily uses TMDB instead? For the Kodi skin, I have been trying several. I've hacked Estuary before, so ...

Re: Scrape metadata and build NFO
Thank you for kindly explaining these Filebot features. I'm getting a better understanding now. To try to speak to your question: my use case is that I have a collection of movies in a Kodi media library (various formats, e.g.: MKV, AVI, VIDEO_TS, ISO, TS), and I want complete info in NFO files ...

Re: Scrape metadata and build NFO
Thanks. Getting closer !! When I try this, I now get two NFO files: (1) my stub NFO, e.g., Avatar (2009).nfo , and (2) the newly-generated movie.nfo . Is there a way to output a single, new NFO file called Avatar (2009).nfo that contains all the newly-scraped info? Next, you mention that external ...

Re: Scrape metadata and build NFO
Thanks for kindly pointing the way. OK, I bought a license so I can proceed. A couple of questions, if you don't mind... (1) I really prefer not to change the original filename of the actual movie files. Instead, I want to just copy the contents of the source folder (i.e., including an original MKV ...

Re: Scrape metadata and build NFO
Thanks !! Actually, I'd prefer not to rename the movie file, though moving it into a new folder would be very helpful. I guess(?) there's some way to define the pattern for a new folder name? Also, I didn't express myself well, but really I'd like to do all of this from the command line, so I can ...

Scrape metadata and build NFO
New to Filebot here and a bit overwhelmed by all the features ! :shock: I would like to do the following: Given a folder that contains (1) a single movie (MKV, AVI, or VIDEO_TS subfolder), and (2) a stub NFO file that just contains the IMDB or TMDB id, e.g.: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8 ...
