PMM Enforcement of .NFO Metadata

[zpz5HAU-tgc3fgw2xwr]

I'm surprised I wasn't able to find any discussions or issues about this already, but I've been searching around the last few days and found an interesting custom Plex Agent:

https://github.com/gboudreau/XBMCnfoTVImporter.bundle
https://github.com/gboudreau/XBMCnfoMoviesImporter.bundle

I haven't tested these myself, because I'm personally not a fan of Plex Plug-Ins or custom agents since Plex has discontinued support. But the comments I've read say they work well.

Because I'm currently using PMM and like the way it's been working, I figured I'd bring this idea over here first before messing up my server with .bundle files.

Basically this would be an option to have PMM browse for matching NFO files wherever the video file is, and it would use this NFO file to override any relevant metadata. And because NFO files are standard for this stuff, this would also be a good way to clean up any really long Shows.yml or Movies.yml files people have just for metadata overrides.

wont the agent pick up that metadata? if so there's no real need for PMM to do it

PMM can already have multiple metadata files btw you can split it up however you want

Oh, shit... Is that new? I don't remember seeing this on the wiki when I was setting everything up way back when

Judging by the multiple git examples, you'd format it like this?

libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
       - file: file1.yml
       - file: file2.yml

Any way to point it to a folder of files instead of individual files?

[meisnate12]

no but i could add folder which will grab every yml file in said folder

That would be awesome - thanks
