[QUOTE="borgster, post: 1045934, member: 144758"] Actually, I had forgotten this because the extras that are currently stored were test versions while I tried to get things up and running the way I wanted them to look. Originally I had an area for home movies and then for movie extras was putting them in the same folder. That obviously caused some issues in both fan art and a few other things so I decided to move everything over to the extras folder. What I had forgotten is for the extras I was using Media Companion V3.5.8.9 for only the extras and Home movies because it has a dedicated routine for non internet based media and it doesn't even try to find or cross match. It just creates a blank NFO file unless I fill information in and creates a screen shot from the video file to use as fanart. I mention this because I just generated another NFO and it's clean from all of the artificats in the Genre portion. (I will attach the new test NFO that was just created for comparison purposes. Now at one point when working with AMCU I had told it on an update to rewrite all NFO files (without thinking about the blank NFO files from the extras). So I'm going to try to recreate that with a before and after NFO because I think the Genre confusion on the extras NFO's appeared when I had AMCU update all the NFO's because the actor fields weren't populating from the Tiny Media Managers NFO files. (I had tried ember media manager but I had some issues with that, but will probably play with it again this weekend when I have an abundance of free time again.) When I ran the test for the attached files the NFO was basically empty after coming out of Media Companion, I then imported the test file with the test NFO in to AMCU and the data remained uncorrupted. However, I then ran AMCU update to update all the NFO files and that's when the genre field and others got popuated. This is an oddball case because of what I was to accomplish and the way I went about it but AMCU is clearly updating blank fields with information when it rewrites the NFO files. Sorry about having forgotten I has used Media Companion in my early testing to create the home video files but I chose that one because it created blank NFO's which is all I needed at that point in time. Regarding all the extras, for the most part they are all stored in their own folder grouped by the movie in question and the home movies when I start adding them will be in their own folders in a year/location file hierarchy.[DOUBLEPOST=1386640591][/DOUBLEPOST]I will play around with the trailer Idea this weekend when I have free time, that could be an interesting way to go about it. Thank you for your assistance in looking in to this, I know I went about it a round about way and thought I had a reasonable solution to the issue. [/QUOTE]
