[QUOTE="Rick164, post: 1176803, member: 17766"] Hi, Some automators like Sonarr and Sickbeard (and Kodi scraper) place a metadata file called "tvshow.nfo" in series folders which contains the show information and also exact tvdb ID, attached an example of one. Basically all the info MP-TVseries would need to do a direct match is in there and here's an example of how it could work: - Root folder of all series is \\NAS\Tv - Each series has its own folder like for example \\NAS\Tv\@Midnight - In the series folder \\NAS\Tv\@Midnight there's a file called tvshow.nfo - It reads the XML contents and looks for this node: [code]<tvshow> .... <id>274099</id> .... </tvshow>[/code] - It then skips online lookups and uses this ID directly, this saves time and prevents mismatches because the tvshow.info will always have the correct ID. Would be great if local metadata importing can be supported :) [/QUOTE]
