[QUOTE="chefkoch, post: 982088, member: 10438"] I already talked with hafblade about the NFO MDEs. Since this NFO files are widely used I would like to have the MDEs for reading them within the official MP2 installation. Extending the FanartService with a new provider from the nfo-MDE is a great idea. This prevents copying the images from the folder of the media file to MP2 internal fanart storage (ProgramData directory). But there is something we need to keep in mind: In the case the drive is not available, i.e. it's USB drive, you can still browse the database within MP2, but you won't get any artwork. If the nfo MDE copies the fanarts from the media files directory to the MP2 internal fanart storage, you can browse you media including artwork even if the file to the media itself it not available anymore. hafblade is going to create a fork of MP2 asap and commits the NFO MDE code there, so we can develop and review together. Before continue coding on the NFO feature, I would like to document specification first in the wiki, so we have a clear definition how the NFO MDE should work. Here we need support by the people using the NFO files to store their metadata and also store the images like fanarts and posters next to the media files. Within the wiki we have several pages for the meta data of various aspects: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/2_MEDIAPORTAL_2/Contribute/Development/3_Concepts/Metadata_system/1_MediaAspects/3_Video[/url] [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/2_MEDIAPORTAL_2/Contribute/Development/3_Concepts/Metadata_system/1_MediaAspects/4_Movie[/url] [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/2_MEDIAPORTAL_2/Contribute/Development/3_Concepts/Metadata_system/1_MediaAspects/5_Series[/url] The column "NFO file" should be filled with xml element used in NFO files. Additional information about the specification should be added to [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/2_MEDIAPORTAL_2/Contribute/Development/3_Concepts/Metadata_system/NfoFileFormat[/url] including examples on sub-pages, similar to the MatroskaTags section: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/2_MEDIAPORTAL_2/Contribute/Development/3_Concepts/Metadata_system/MatroskaTags[/url] @[URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/members/lehmden.109222/']Lehmden[/URL] Could you give us support with this, please?
