I'm a recent convert to Kodi on my Android TV.
Kodi has some very clever online db scrapers to scan your media files and then download & fetch corresponding metadata information, such as plot, posters, cast/credits, release dates, ratings, artists, artworks. Useful and pretty !

Back in 2016 @mwpmorris on the Kodi Forum created a clever script to present the Foxsat-HDR recorded programs in a more Kodi friendly format with .nfo files, and used symbolic links so as not to affect the original program names or location.

I have updated the script as follows:
  • Default is now not to create the .nfo (as most often it's not needed)
  • For Movies/Oneoffs I have added a search for a "valid" year and if found to append it to the symbolic link name.
  • Changed the naming for Series episodes to append SnnEnn
  • lots of logging
All the options Year, Create nfo, SnnEnn can be specified and overridden by the user.

It works really well for me with Kodi Matrix 19.3 on Android TV, so if anyone is feeling brave and interested in testing it, post a reply here and I'll send you the script.

I have attached the explanations/instructions from the comments at the top of the script, but not the script itself, not until a few more have tested it.

Jon.
