.nfo questions - geohei - 2025-12-12
Hi.
I have a bunch of .mpg files which I'd like to get parsed using JF. The file naming is all but JF-compliant.
Hence I use an .nfo file to tell JF which movie it is.
Aliens - Die Rückkehr (ZDF - 19112006 0100 169 MP2256g MP2128g AC320384g).nfo<movie>
<id>tt0090605</id>
</movie>
Until now, is above the correct procedure to inform JF about movie details in case of JF-non-conform naming convention?
Next ... some movies have a different original title. I'd like to keep the title of the movie. I found that, editing the metadata using the JF GUI (Title), it's overwritten during the next
> Refresh metadata > Search for missing metadata (+ Replace existing images)
which I need to do once I add new .nfo files.
I found out that, entering the title manually in the .nfo using the <title> tag does the job = it shows the German title which doesn't get removed during a Refresh metadata.
Again ... is this the correct procedure to glue the new title into the JF database?
Thanks
