[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1290323, member: 109222"] Hi. Kodi gets such information from the used PVR addon only. For video you need an ".nfo" file, that is different to the .xml file provided by the MediaPortal TV engine. Other TV engines like DVB-Viewer, TVMosaic, TVheadend,... are using completely different types of files to store the information aside the recorded video file. For this it is not useful, probably not even possible, to fetch all the different kinds of data directly by Kodi as normally the used TV engine does this. Theoretically you can convert some of the data from the xml to a compatible .nfo. But I don't know if there is any software that can do this automatically. In my opinion you have three choices. First, keep everything as it is and miss the metadata. Second, you add the folder on your NAS as a recording folder to MP2 and import all recordings into the MP 2 server and for this also as recordings visible in Kodi. Third and best opinion imho, is to add the recordings on NAS as movies and series to the MP2 and Kodi databases. Then online information is downloaded and you have the same amount of data as with "regular" movies. This is by far the best way, especially if you use a preparing tool like TMM or Media-Buddy to only have to do this work once. This is how I'll do with all the recordings I've done over the many years I'm using HTPC now. Personally I add the recordings that are not a movie or a series episode as "other" videos to the MP2/Kodi database. My tool Media-Buddy can add fanart and .nfo file with metadata to such videos too. in the "metadata correction" module you even can add your own plot and similar data, that you e.G. can copy and paste from the .xml file. But you also can separate them and add those "not movies or series" recordings to the MP2 TV engine. [/QUOTE]
