[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 862464, member: 18896"] MovingPictures has a special option for that in config -> "Importer Settings" tab -> "Scan movie folder for info files with the following extensions:" -> default = "nfo;txt" -> "Force auto-approval based on info file details" This enables the 'simple NFO' method. Aside from that there is also support for XBMC NFO files, but that is dealt with via a scraper-script, which you can control via "Movie Details Data Sources" and locate the "XBMC (Local)" scraper-script and place it at primary/first position. Also do this for the artwork settings. XBMC NFO files contain all the information that MovPic uses, title, year, cast, summary, etc. so it allows for a very fast offline import, which is also useful in a server+client setup of MediaPortal to prevent database corruption by reading the same files by all clients. By generating NFO files on the 'server', each client can then simply be configured as XBMC NFO importers and quickly add the new movie to their database. Using Follw.it or Trakt.tv you can then sync watched status across all the clients, or have an indirect multi-user system by not syncing it on purpose, or using multiple Follw.it/Trakt.tv accounts on seperate systems. So check to see if that option got disabled. And keep in mind that the NFO/TXT/etc file that is configured has to match the filename of the media file AS-IS, as you only control the extension.
