Feature Request: Episode level NFO

All,
I am finding I am missing one feature from this excellent tool and that is the creation of episode level NFOs. Are there any plans for this feature?
Thanks.

Why would this be required? All the media center software can grab additional episode info once files can be identified.

I am using plex with an XBMCNFOimporter and it does not seem to supplement the information. If I have an episode level NFO it does use that.

I don't know what XBMCNFOimporter does, but Plex is perfectly capable of fetching it's own info. I'd report the issue in the Plex forums if Plex isn't grabbing episode info for any your episode files.

Wanted to bump this to see if there's any chance of this getting implemented. Some of us like to curate all information including episode descriptions. Using FileBot first and then having to use another tool to generate the episode nfo files makes one want to switch away from FileBot and just use the other tool that does support generating episode nfo files. Would much rather use FileBot for everything.
Thanks,
Harry

I've added a script with basic functionality, to be extended or modified as needed:
https://github.com/filebot/scripts/blob ... nfo.groovy
e.g. generate Episode NFO from
xattr metadata:

MultiEpisode objects are an unsupported corner case. But if anyone actually has that use case, and a sample NFO for that, then we can look into adding support.

No it's not and it's easy to add
I did years ago
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5451
NFO:
1 ep:
Code: Select all
<episodedetails>
</episodedetails>
2 ep
Code: Select all
<episodedetails>
</episodedetails>
<episodedetails>
</episodedetails>
3 ep
Code: Select all
<episodedetails>
</episodedetails>
<episodedetails>
</episodedetails>
<episodedetails>
</episodedetails>
btw: I believe png is wrong and -thumb.jpg correct
Code: Select all
def thumbnailFile = outputFile.dir / outputFile.nameWithoutExtension + '.png'
Code: Select all
def thumbnailFile = outputFile.dir / outputFile.nameWithoutExtension + '-thumb.jpg'

Not supported by the script in its current state
that is, until someone actually has that use case and puts in a feature request. @HarryMuscle resurrected this request, but we haven't even confirmed if he's actually using Kodi, so let's see what we need first. Same for thumbnail naming and image format. JPG is lower quality, so we use PNG by default until we have a reason to use JPG instead.
I'm also a bit dubious about generating invalid XML files
(can't have multiple root elements) but if that's what we want, then I'll see into making it work.

I use a combination of Kodi and Emby. Emby pretty much follows how Kodi does it's NFO files and I think generally people consider Kodi to be the authority on how nfo files should be structured.
If Kodi does the multi episode nfo files that way I would say it's worth adding it to the script.
Also wanted to mention for anyone trying the script out, it requires the latest 4.9.5 beta version of FileBot as I learned yesterday
.
Thanks,
Harry

Awesome additions to the nfo.groovy file. Any chance you'd also add downloading the banner and fanart for the series and movies to match how the thumbnail is downloaded for the episodes? Then it would be a perfect database agnostic replacement for the
artwork=y option from the AMC script. If that's asking too much I might tackle that myself but you whip these scripts out in no time. Thanks again for all the support.
Thanks,
Harry

The
artwork script (previously just used to print available artwork) has been repurposed for this use case:

Awesome. Thanks for doing that. I'll check it out tomorrow hopefully. Much appreciated.
