Other Videos

Folder Layout​

The Other Videos library has no folder requirements, but folders can be a useful source of metadata.

NFO Metadata​

Each other video may have a corresponding NFO file with exactly the same name, except for the .nfo extension. The NFO must use the movie format. See Kodi Wiki for more information. ErsatzTV will read the following fields from the other video NFO:

  • Title
  • Sort Title
  • Outline
  • Year
  • MPAA
  • Premiered
  • Plot
  • Genre(s)
  • Tag(s)
  • Studio(s)
  • Actor(s)
  • Credit(s)
  • Director(s)
  • Unique Id(s)

Other Video Fallback Metadata​

Other videos will have a tag added to their metadata for every containing folder, including the top-level folder. As an example, consider adding a commercials folder with the following files:

└── Commercials
    ├── 1990
    │   └── Cars
    │       └── 1990 Car Commercial 1.mkv
    └── 1992
        └── Cars
            └── 1992 Car Commercial 1.mkv

Your other video library will then have two media items with the following metadata:

  1. title: 1990 Car Commercial 1, tags: Commercials, 1990, Cars
  2. title: 1992 Car Commercial 1, tags: Commercials, 1992, Cars
