Custom nfo File Examples

[linesma]

Adding a custom videos and music to Jellyfin is easy, but it requires the user to generate an nfo file for the content. Here are some examples of what I use that are Jellyfin friendly. Just copy the nfo template from here, and paste it into your favorite text editor to edit the information. If you do not want to use a certain piece of data, just leave the entry blank.


Just a quick note on text editors. I have found that Windows Notepad will sometimes add "hidden" characters at the end of the lines. This will cause the nfo file not to work properly. I suggest using Notepad++ or a different 3rd party editor to be safe.

I couldn't have asked for more precise codes! I can't stress enough how useful they are for my project; they're fantastic.
