[QUOTE="MJGraf, post: 1164486, member: 17886"] I can :) Well, the easiest way is certainyl, as Morpheus said, to put the IMDB number into the file name. But you can also achieve this via the nfo-file. These nfo-files are a mess in so far as there is no standard. I know that Kodi accepts XML in nfo-files, but also - as you have it - plain links to imdb without any XML boilerplate around it. And the worst Thing is that KODI also accepts a mixture of both - some XML-tags and then a link to IMDB for the rest. The thing I don't like about this is that this is against the official XML-spec.... Long story short: we currently only support XML in nfo-files. If you replace the content of your nfo-file with the following: [CODE]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?> <movie> <id>tt0408236</id> </movie>[/CODE] Then your nfo-file will be correctly read and it will recognize the movie without changing the file Name. Maybe a few more explanation to what you experienced: MP2 checks files with video extension first to make sure the file actually contains a Video (this is done with mediaInfo). If the file doesn't contain a Video (such as in your case with a blank file), it will not be imported at all. If a file is identified as actually containing a Video, it is flagged as Video and will Show up in the Video section of MP2. To make it show up in the Movies section as well, MP2 Needs to either find a unique hit on TheMovieDb (see Morpehus Explanation above) or there must be a "valid" nfo-file with a <movie> XML-tag. For you the <movie>-XML tag was missing.... Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
