[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 1062508, member: 27204"] [B]NFO Grabber Update:[/B] I have updated the NFO grabber for MyFilms, to make it more generic, and support different NFO formats, not just EmberMediaManager. To get it just Update Grabbers on the Import Tab in Setup. I have done BASIC testing using NFO files saved by the following apps: [LIST] [*]Ember Media Manager (EMM) 1.3.0.18 [*]tinyMediaManager (TMM) 2.5.1 and 2.6 (not yet released) [*]Media Companion (MC) 3.5.9 [*]Media Center Master (MCM) 2.1.0 (free version) using XBMC NFO format [*]MediaElch 2.0.1 [/LIST] [B]if you use any of the above apps, please test with the updated NFO grabber![/B] There may still be some minor issues, because there are so many different options available I couldn't survive testing every possible variation. Just create a new config using Setup Wizard (AMC Catalog type, 'use nfo grabber' selected) and see if you get better results/more data than with the previous NFO grabber. The purpose of the NFO grabber is (like MyFilms itself), to allow you to use the movie catalog/media manager app of your choice as a database back end. The NFO grabber is NOT intended to convert from other plugins/media centers. However I did test with: [LIST] [*]MP Videos - 1.5.0 - 'standard' NFO tags are supported but not all the extra tags used by MP Videos. [*]MovPicNFO - 1.6.0 - it does not conform 100% to XBMC NFO standard - e.g <writer> not <credits>, AKAs saved to <originaltitle>, <studios> not <studio>, and multiple occurences separated by a | (even at the beginning of a field/tag). So, you may get better results using the MovPics XML plugin and catalog option in MyFilms. [/LIST] [B]Changelog[/B] Here are the major changes to the previous NFO grabber: [LIST] [*][B]Director[/B](s) - multiple directors are grabbed even if they are in separate occurrences/tags. [*][B]Producer[/B](s) - grabbed if your media manager supports it - only if the <credits> data (which is usually only Writers) indicates it is a producer. Producers will be grabbed from TMM v2.6. [*][B]Writer[/B](s) - multiple writers are grabbed now even if they are in separate occurrences/tags. [*][B]Language[/B](s) - Spoken Languages are grabbed using TMM 2.6. [B]If you want language from the media info (e.g. audio tracks) select that option in AMCU DB Fields tab.[/B] [*][B]Certification[/B] - preferred - grabs only the actual rating (not the country) to support the display of certification logos. If your media manager does not write <certification> to NFO, then <mpaa> data is grabbed, but it may include text depending on the media manager/options you choose. [*][B]Studio[/B](s) - all occurrences of Studio are grabbed now even if they are in separate occurrences/tags. [*][B]IMDB Top250[/B] (Rank) - grabbed from NFO files that support it. [B]Note[/B]: data only exists IF the movie is in IMDB's Top 250 [*][B]TMDB_ID[/B] - grabbed only if the NFO file supports it, rather than grabbing the ID which is usually the IMDB ID [*][B]MultiFanart[/B] -only \extrafanart is grabbed now, not \extrathumbs as they are often duplicates. [*][B]Runtime[/B] - now grabbed from NFO if it exists and no runtime already exists (i.e. has not been imported from Media Info) [/LIST] [B][COLOR=#ff0000]IMPORTANT Notes:[/COLOR][/B] [LIST] [*]NFO grabber supports the following [B]filenames[/B]: [LIST] [*]<movie filename>.nfo - ([B]note[/B]: for multi-part movies that means [B]moviename-CD1.nfo[/B] where the first filename is [B]moviename-CD1.avi[/B]) [*]<movie filename>.jpg - [B]poster/cover[/B] (although you can choose folder.jpg in AMCU DB fields settings) [*]<movie filename>-fanart.jpg for [B]backdrop/fanart[/B] (although it also supports images in [B]\extrafanart[/B] subfolder). [/LIST] [*][B]Trailers[/B] are not grabbed from NFO because most apps save only a trailer URL to NFO, not local trailer path/filenames. [*][B]Collection Covers[/B] are not grabbed because there are still so many variations in how they are stored by media managers. However, you can easily add Collection Covers in MyFilms 6.1 (or 6.0.3 in TestMode) in GUI > Updates > Download Collection Cover, if you use a skin that supports the latest features! (i.e. includes MyFilmsDialogImageSelect.xml) [*][B]MediaInfo[/B] is not grabbed from NFO files (<fileinfo> tags), since, like most apps, MyFilms already imports it via MediaInfo. [/LIST] I've added some feature requests to MyFilms Issue Tracker, and Guzzi is continuing to improve the Grabber Engine so that we can do even more with NFO grabber in future. If you need to find the above info in future, I added it to the Wiki > [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/17_Extensions/3_Plugins/My_Films/Grabber_Scripts#NFO_grabber']Grabber Scripts > NFO Grabber[/URL].
