Call for Submissions: Please submit a large collection of your NFO files

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

Yes, I second this comment. I've been actively looking to get the metadata in my .mp4 files into Channels. This is a much desired solution and increases the value of Channels to me.

I submitted mine (all except my Home Movies share). Used TAR on my Windows Server to construct.

tar.exe -a -cf NFOs.zip F:\Movies\*.nfo F:\Music\*.nfo F:\TV\*.nfo F:\Videos\Music\*.nfo

Is there any way to submit my file anonymously without be logged into a Google account?

Edit: It's about 1.5 MB tarred and gzipped.
