Hi Lehmden! Well now you have introduced me to yet another data storing system - .nfo files - this time created by your Media-Buddy and I'm trying to understand how these might impact the 6 step process I described. Essentially for my purposes all I need to end up with is one recording with the...

"Because the metadata inside the xml file is only very poor and missing a lot of important metadata. Especially the ID numbers from TVDB and IMDB are not included. But those ID are the most important metadata of all because nearly every program (even WMC) uses them to proper identify the...
