Fetch NFO only

Post by gelon »

Hi

Currently I am cleaning up my drive to enable better browsing through my movies and I found your amazing tool for this. Thanks!
However to have a better support in finding relative information and proper titles in the media center I wanted to have the NFO files for each video. I found the script (http://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic ... 4&t=5#p205) however this also generates a lot of images and (in my eyes) junk info. Is it possible to only retrieve and generate the NFO and skip the artwork?

Thanks in advance

EDIT
I should have searched a bit better, found a No on artwork only (http://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1018)
However it is possible to edit the script, can you give me a direction?

Whenever filebot renames any media file it'll write all the info you could need to xattr metadata:

You could either see if you media center could support that, or just generate nfo files from that. Easiest way is probably to just use the existing script and delete whatever you don't want.

Thanks for the fast response
There are a bit to many files in there to remove the artwork manually ;)

Is it possible to run a self written script that is local (i.e. a modified version of the rtwork.tmdb)???

Who said anything about manually? Obviously I mean some sort of script:

Code: Select all

find . | grep -e 'jpg|url' | xargs rm
(better not just copy paste that just in cases it deletes everything :P)

And yes, of course you can run a local script.
