= Requirements =
TV Shows require the following nfo files
#One nfo file for the TV Show. This file holds the overall show information
#One nfo file for '''each''' Episode. This file holds information specific to that episode
For one TV Show with 10 episodes, you will require 11 nfo files.
If you choose not to use nfo files for each episode, but only for the main TV Show, then the tvshow.nfo file must contain a valid ''<episodeguideurl>'' to allow online updates. If not, only episodes with .nfo files will be added.
TV Shows and Episodes '''must''' abide by the standard naming conventions even if you are using nfo files.<br /><br />
If using a Parsing nfo, then only one '''''tvshow.nfo''''' is required. No episode nfo's are required.
<br /><br />
The order of importing metadata is as follows:
#nfo file. If no nfo file exists, then
#Depending on your scraper settings for your source, either
##Online scraper sites- if a scraper is set in your source settings
##Nothing- if Local Info Only is set
When Kodi locates the nfo file it will load the *.nfo file and:
#If the file is a metadata nfo, Kodi will import the meta-data directly into the library from the .nfo file or
#If the file is a parsing nfo, Kodi will parse the nfo file for a direct URL to the scraper info page, then scrape the online metadata.
#If the file is a combination nfo, Kodi will parse the nfo file and scrape the online metadata, then import the metadata from the nfo file.
== Known Issues ==
The parsing nfo has been reported as broken for TV Shows and Episodes.
= nfo Placement =
Correct placement of the nfo file is essential. '''Regardless of what settings you have set for the source and scraper, Kodi will always search for and scrape a nfo file if it is available.''' Failing to save the file in the correct location, as detailed below, will force Kodi to either:
#Scrape the metadata from the online source set in your scraper or,
#If you have ''Local Info Only'' set as your scraper, then no entry will be made into the library.
== TV Show ==
One TV Show nfo is required. Be aware the nfo filename is actually '''tvshow.nfo'''. This is not meant to indicate that it is replaced with the name of the show.

= TV nfo Tags =
The only required tags are indicated below in the tables. All other tags are optional. Of course, the less tags used, the less information that will be scraped into the library unless you are using a parsing or combination nfo.

    <plot>Angel is an American television series, a spin-off from the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. &#x0D;&#x0A;Angel (David Boreanaz), a 240-year old vampire cursed with a conscience, haunts the dark streets of Los Angeles alone. But after he meets a half-demon with mysterious visions, Angel realizes his true purpose: to help those in danger with the hope that he may have a chance to redeem himself and save his own soul. With Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter) and Doyle (Glenn Quinn) at his side, he forms Angel Investigations. He is soon joined by Wesley (Alexis Denisof), Gunn (J. August Richards), Lorne (Andy Hallett) and Fred (Amy Acker), and he will need all their expertise to fight the growing forces of evil, and the supernatural law firm of Wolfram and Hart.</plot>

Home icon grey.png   ▶ NFO_files ▶ TV shows


Requirements

TV Shows require the following nfo files

  1. One nfo file for the TV Show. This file holds the overall show information
  2. One nfo file for each Episode. This file holds information specific to that episode

For one TV Show with 10 episodes, you will require 11 nfo files.

If you choose not to use nfo files for each episode, but only for the main TV Show, then the tvshow.nfo file must contain a valid <episodeguideurl> to allow online updates. If not, only episodes with .nfo files will be added.

TV Shows and Episodes must abide by the standard naming conventions even if you are using nfo files.

If using a Parsing nfo, then only one tvshow.nfo is required. No episode nfo's are required.

The order of importing metadata is as follows:

  1. nfo file. If no nfo file exists, then
  2. Depending on your scraper settings for your source, either
    1. Online scraper sites- if a scraper is set in your source settings
    2. Nothing- if Local Info Only is set

When Kodi locates the nfo file it will load the *.nfo file and:

  1. If the file is a metadata nfo, Kodi will import the meta-data directly into the library from the .nfo file or
  2. If the file is a parsing nfo, Kodi will parse the nfo file for a direct URL to the scraper info page, then scrape the online metadata.
  3. If the file is a combination nfo, Kodi will parse the nfo file and scrape the online metadata, then import the metadata from the nfo file.


Known Issues

The parsing nfo has been reported as broken for TV Shows and Episodes.


nfo Placement

Correct placement of the nfo file is essential. Regardless of what settings you have set for the source and scraper, Kodi will always search for and scrape a nfo file if it is available. Failing to save the file in the correct location, as detailed below, will force Kodi to either:

  1. Scrape the metadata from the online source set in your scraper or,
  2. If you have Local Info Only set as your scraper, then no entry will be made into the library.


TV Show

One TV Show nfo is required. Be aware the nfo filename is actually tvshow.nfo. This is not meant to indicate that it is replaced with the name of the show.

Naming & Saving conventions for your TV Show *.nfo files:

Saved TV Show as File Name Save Location
All formats tvshow.nfo f:\MyTVShows\iZombie\tvshow.nfo


TV Episode

One nfo file for every episode is required.

Naming & Saving conventions for your TV Episode *.nfo files:

Saved Episodes as File Name Save Location
BluRay Structure: index.nfo f:\MyTVShows\iZombie\iZombie S01E01\BDMV\index.nfo
DVD Structure: VIDEO_TS.nfo f:\MyTVShows\iZombie\iZombie S01E01\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.nfo
Single Episode file in directory: <EpisodeFileName>.nfo f:\MyTVShows\iZombie\iZombie S01E01\<EpisodeFileName>.nfo
All episodes in TV Show directory: <EpisodeFileName>.nfo f:\MyTVShows\iZombie\<EpisodeFileName>.nfo


TV nfo Tags

The only required tags are indicated below in the tables. All other tags are optional. Of course, the less tags used, the less information that will be scraped into the library unless you are using a parsing or combination nfo.

TV Episode Tags

The following table lists the XML tags available for TV Episodes in Kodi. Children tags are displayed correctly with parent tags.

For multi-part episodes, simply add multiple <episodedetails> XML blocks in succession.

    </audio>
  </streamdetails>
</fileinfo>
No No While it is possible to manually set the information contained within the <streamdetails> tag, there is little point in doing so.

Kodi will always overwrite this data when it plays back the video file.
In other words, no matter how many times you try to manually set it, it will be overwritten the moment the video is played

   <plot>Angel is an American television series, a spin-off from the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. &#x0D;
Angel (David Boreanaz), a 240-year old vampire cursed with a conscience, haunts the dark streets of Los Angeles alone. But after he meets a half-demon with mysterious visions, Angel realizes his true purpose: to help those in danger with the hope that he may have a chance to redeem himself and save his own soul. With Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter) and Doyle (Glenn Quinn) at his side, he forms Angel Investigations. He is soon joined by Wesley (Alexis Denisof), Gunn (J. August Richards), Lorne (Andy Hallett) and Fred (Amy Acker), and he will need all their expertise to fight the growing forces of evil, and the supernatural law firm of Wolfram and Hart.</plot>
