Metadata scraper?

[wannabepvr]

Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere (I did search a bit)

I have imported all my dvds on to a drive and I am looking for something to search the web for the metadata description cover art etc. Hopefully in a format that npvr reads. Does such a utility exist?

Vidimport sounds just like the tool you need (may depend on how yoiu named the files ???)

I use media companion and find it superb for movies.
It needs to figure out the movie from the file name and it then creates an .nfo file with all the movie details and and associated poster and fanart which you can view in the video plugin (I have a folder called Movies). If you want the DVDs to appear in recordings, then you will likely need to follow martin's advice to use vidimport.

I already have imageGrab lite finding metadata for tv shows with S##E## notation and importing them into the recordings database. I figure libraries are better than recordings but it would be trivial to do it assuming you have Movie name (year)ignore the rest.ts and movie name exists on themoviedb.

Another problem with movies in recordings is sub's client for PC and Kodi only play ts files.
