__TOC__

= Introduction =
<section begin="intro" />A Parsing NFO file is used to point the scraper to the exact title to be matched and scraped.<section end="intro" />

A Parsing NFO file can be used for any of the following classes of media:
::{|
|-
|style="width:100px; font-style: italic; text-align:left;" | Albums
|style="width:100px; font-style: italic; text-align:left;" | Artists
|style="width:100px; font-style: italic; text-align:left;" | Movies
|style="width:100px; font-style: italic; text-align:left;" | Music Videos
|style="width:100px; font-style: italic; text-align:left;" | TV Shows

|}
'''Note:''' A Parsing NFO file '''cannot''' be used for Seasons or Episodes. Seasons and Episodes are matched via the correct TV Show.

= Create =
To create and use the parsing nfo, follow these steps:
#Locate the title at the appropriate site of the information provider, eg ''[https://www.themoviedb.org/ TheMovieDB]'' or ''[https://theaudiodb.com/ The AudioDB]''
#Open a text file and copy the entire URL address from the address bar and paste it into the text file.
#*The file contains only the link and nothing else. ''See example below''
#*If there is more than one URL in the file only the first URL will be used.
#Save the file and ensure it is correctly named as follows:
::{{#lst:NFO files/Creating|NFOnaming}}
:4. To scrape the new title:
::* The normal '''[[Updating_or_removing_videos|Library Update]]''' function, or
::* Locating the new title in Videos>Files then press {{keypress|i}} on a keyboard or
::* Selecting ''Scan to library'' from the '''[[Basic_controls#Context_Menu|context menu]]'''

;Example of Parsing Movie NFO :

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/15849-the-mummy
</syntaxhighlight>

<div style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-left: 20pt;">
'''Note:'''
{{#lst:NFO_files/Movies|MovieNFONaming}}
</div>

= IMDB & MusicBrainz ID's =
TheMovieDB, TVDB and TV Maze databases include an '''[https://www.imdb.com/ IMDB]'''' field that contains the IMDB ID for the title. This allows the use of the IMDB address in the Parsing NFO for Movies and TV Shows. This does not mean the title will be scraped from IMDB. The scraper simply recognises the '''ttxxxxx''' ID and uses it to search for the title at the online database of the currently active scraper.
Using the IMDB ID relies on the IMDB ID for the title having been saved at the scraper site.

For Music, the '''[https://musicbrainz.org/ MusicBrainz]''' ID's are the authority. Not all music sites use the MusicBrainz ID though.
