Yes, NFO files are plain text containing XML data. For music related NFO files see the Kodi Wiki: http://kodi.wiki/view/NFO_files/music I also attached a sample album.nfo file. Main reason I was looking into this was the fact, that I run LMS and XBMC on my server. The latter naturally for videos, but I also added my music to it, as a backup solution, since XBMC works now well as a UPnP server with gapless play etc. It also streams FLAC without conversion into mp3. I then ran and tested many available artist and album scrapers in XBMC, all with mixed results: outside mainstream pop music there were hardly any info scraped. Your Music & Artist Info plugin gets more pictures, f. ex. But XBMC has the option to export all pictures and NFO files locally to your drive in the above described paths, so that one can manually edit and/or replace them; which I did for the pictures so far. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: sample-album-nfo.txt | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=16756| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ - *ASRock Ion 330* (home office) w/ Xubuntu 14.04 + XBMC "Gotham" + LMS 7.9, FLAC > Local Player > Behringer MS 40 - *Boom* (master bedroom), *Radio* (master bathroom), *Archos 35 Home Connect* + SqueezePlayer (guest bathroom) - *Reson PR 80s* as UPnP client (living room) > Parasound DAC 1500 > vintage Wega Modul 42V amp (w/ 42E equalizer, 42T tape deck, and Thorens TD 160 Mk II turntable) > Quadral Vulkan Mk II - *RPi + RaspBMC* (living room) > Samsung UE60H6270 w/ HW-H450 soundbar - *Duet* + *Radio* in storage ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wortgefecht's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63295 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99537 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
