Local Emby nfo file (1 Viewer)

[erichzann]

Hi All,

I've been using the mediabrowser plugin for a while buts it's no longer working so I am setting up Moving Pictures.

It's been a while since I have used it so hope you can help with my question.

I am still using Emby to manage my metadata and wondered how I should set up Moving Pictures to read the local Emby nfo files.

I have attached a sample nfo file for reference.

Many thanks

@erichzann you would set the Emby scraper-script as primary for import, so that it reads the NFO files and does a quick off-line import. Just got no idea what scraper-script that would be, or if the default one is still compatible with the syntax of the NFO files you have. Easy to test for obviously.

It is easy to delete the MovPic dbase and start over, so you can also play around with more advanced scraper-script solutions such as IMDb+

Otherwise look at the MovPicNFO plugin project which makes use of XBMC compatible NFO files, because it might be easy to convert the Emby files you have with 3rd party tools such as SFK or TextCrawler.

Thanks @RoChess it looks like the Emby nfo files are XBMC compatible so I can use the XBMC script:

One question though, when I scan it still seems to be grabbing some date from other sources. I guess the best thing to do it disable those other scripts and see what comes back?

Finally, can you just let me know where the scripts are stored?

Thanks

Yes, for an off-line alike scan you want to disable all the other scraper-scripts.

But any missing data will still be fetched on-line, so be sure that your artwork naming scheme matches the off-line imports.

All the scraper-scripts are stored in the 'scripts' table in the movingpictures.db3 database. For any scraper-script other than IMDb+ (auto-updates via the IMDb+ plugin) be sure to scour the forums for any possible updates after it was included in the latest Moving-Pictures release.

Enjoy.
