RE: Change NFO Location - discokongo - 2024-05-15

Yes! Would love this. 

I've been faulthandling an issue SO damn much before I just figured it out. 

My torrent program keeps erroring out with broken files and have to be re-verified. I've checked the hard drives health, the ram, whole unraid server, the torrent program, scratching my head trying to figure out. 

I FINALLY, TODAY, noticed the only checksum that is changed pre and post verification is the .nfo file. 

So I download a video file, and fellow .nfo file. Jellyfin overwrites the .nfo file with it's own information, with the exact same name as original .nfo-file. When a peer try to fetch the block containing the .nfo file it doesn't match anymore, and torrent go into error mode.


I've been frustrated and lost about this issue FOR 2 YEARS. Almost bought new disks and RAM lol.


edit: Or for my issue, perhaps just add .jellyfin. before the .nfo. Aka: Movie.jellyfin.nfo instead of Movie.nfo since it's already so standardized to keep information about movie in Movie.nfo, and not metadata for a specific application.
