I've bumped the limit to 100MB. I didn't expect compressed text files to reach over 10MB, lol.

If you used the scripts above (which I assume you have since it's so large), then it will copy your directory structure, so we'll get what we need.

Would it be ok for me to include a text file that elaborates on the naming / organizing structure & rules? Also, on the form, the section about images… it’s a radio button and not a tick box. I might want to elaborate in more detail than a radio button.

feel free to add any notes you want inside your upload.

There's a field for Other for you to use with text.

Yay Uploaded. Looks like I had to use something like winzip as windows built in zipper didn't like some of the folder/file names(like Alien³).

One question,

Was one of those links supposed to point to a Windows batch file? They both go to the same bash script page.

By NFO files, would these include the .txt files that are generated from the metadata of recordings downloaded off of TiVos? I have a ton of these with many of them for files that haven't even been brought into the Channels Library yet.

No. They’re XML files.

Those were TivoToGo (pytivo) metadata files. I also have a lot of them from TiVo recordings.
Some of the earlier ones had gracenote (tms) movie, show and episode program id's.

The bash script created a 9.3gb file on my Kubuntu machine. I removed .edl files and it was 9.0gb, then I zipped it down to 7gb. I'm now scp-ing it up to one of my webservers and will send you a PM with the URL tomorrow when the upload is complete. I'll chmod it 755 so you can get it.

9GB of text files?

This is more information than we could possibly use. If you would like to slim it down, then it would be more useful.

This would be very very very useful for me as i used tvdb for most of my shows - and shows like rifftrax or top gear have their specials formatted to tvdb and not moviedb

The original post was from August. Are you still looking for submissions?

If yes... My NFOs are all from and generated by Emby. Would you want those anyway?

Well that's surprising; many requests in the past I imagine but unfortunate to hear a lack of participation to help get it done.

I'll take a limited and sane sampling of different variations for the different Library types I have for my recordings from OTA and M3U of Movies, ongoing Series, Specials, Documentaries, Mini-Series, Mobile Phone Videos, individual Music Videos, my DVD and Blu-Ray rips, and maybe some more categories. I'll upload as requested some time next week or after; setting a reminder on the phone to do it. :slight_smile:

I hope you guys don't interpret the lack of submissions as lack of interest

With how complicated my plex library has become - i really would love to not have to recreate it in channels - there isn't tvdb and it would require a huge amount of work

NFO files is a great shortcut there and i'm looking forward to it - i did submit a huge amount of nfo files and hopefully they are helpful
