[QUOTE="MJGraf, post: 1151222, member: 17886"] You are right - I also think it is needed. I just don't like the idea that we create our "own standard". We should at least also support the Kodi-Style, but there we have the problem that we don't know whether it is a movie / series. Yep, understood. And if we have an MDE that adds .disc files as Video-Items, the NfoMDE will automatically extract all the movie info contained in the respective nfo-file. That's one of the big advantages of our flexible structure :) We could take this one from the nfo-file. Currently the nfo-MDE reads this information if it is present, but just doesn't store it as the VideoMDE fetches this information anyway via MediaInfo. What we could do is that the NfoMDE checks whether this info was added before and only if not, add the info from the nfo-file. As to the two methods you describe: This may be supported, but I don't think we would create .disc files in this case - we would just add it to our MediaLibrary without any .disc file. Reason is that I think it is too complicated otherwise. We would have to let the user choose a directory where these files are created. Ideally, this directory should be on the server so that the server can import the files without the client running. Creating files on the server from the client is not that easy. Etc. But having the MediaItems in the MediaLibrary should be fine... I think this is the right way to create these .disc files. After all, making the Backend import .disc files shouldn't be too difficult. I think the more difficult part would be to make the Frontend treat these stub-items correctly... [/QUOTE]
