    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
