XBMC .nfo files

[bjhille]

I have a 1st gen AppleTV that has been working great for years. As I'm sure you've heard, Apple has dropped the ability to sync the original AppleTV since the iTunes 12.7 update. So, instead of having a brick, I loaded OpenElec and Kodi from here: http://chewitt.openelec.tv/appletv/ Rolling back to a previous version of iTunes is not possible since I upgraded my mac to High Sierra and iTunes 12.7.

The install went great and have been getting used to the customization's. My challenge is the media tagging. In iTunes, all of the media information is stored in the video file. Kodi wants to redownload the metadata. I like how my movies/TV Shows are organized/named now (one big movie folder and one big TV Shows folder with subfolders for each show (not season). I only use this appletv to transport my collection while traveling so I'm looking for something easy that works with the way I already have things setup.

There seems to a lot of plugins/addons for XBMC to stream media and to find tag information online, but I can't seem to find one that will read the existing tag information off the media file and either create nfo files for Kodi or to load the information directly into the Kodi database. I just want to use the tags that I've already created.

So, my future request would be to have an option to create .nfo files that could then be imported into XBMC without having to rename all my stuff or get new tagging information when I have already gone through that process painstakingly.

Thanks. Brian
