Thumbs in show metadata - fabem - 2024-02-28
Hi,
Is it possible to define images (local or from the web) in NFO files for tv shows?
This is my current state:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<tvshow>
<title>My Series</title>
<originaltitle>My Series</originaltitle>
<showtitle>My Series</showtitle>
<userrating></userrating>
<plot>This is my series.</plot>
<mpaa></mpaa>
<genre>Action</genre>
<status></status>
<studio>My studio</studio>
<thumb spoof="" cache="" aspect="landscape">https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/4TNklRSMAUTCf7g9XGMHxGSeRqR.jpg</thumb>
</tvshow>I tried different variants of defining the thumb here but it doesn't seem to work.
The other tags from this file are working correctly.
The NFO file "tvshow.nfo" is located at the root of the series folder.
Thanks and have a nice day!

Try setting up a test library with NFO saver enabled. Once the NFOs are written you can use those as a template for your main library.

I tried this and then tired editing the NFO files, and refreshed all metadata including images
The system ignored the jpeg in the link I provided, and overwrote the <art>\<poster> tag's information with a local name for a jpeg it created in the same folder as the movie, in the .nfo file.
Which in and of itself wasn't bad, except that its not a copy of the jpeg that was referenced in the nfo file, the image is now a screen capture from the movie.
EDITED: If you have a nfo files that you want to use, when configuring the library disable the screen grabber and embedded image extractor, if those are selected, they will create your primary image, regardless of the nfo. Also, don't select nfo saver option, as it will overwrite your own nfo data file.
